Orlando Early Good Quotations

We really got their attention tonight at halftime. We knew going into the game that they (UTA) was a good rebounding team. Early in the game, we were not getting out and contesting shots and they responded by shooting 62 percent.

I have my hands around the problem, we're not good enough yet. I have some young guys that are decently talented, but aren't ready yet. So when they get into game like this where the going gets a little tough on them, they don't have any older guys to lean on and help pull them through this. We're going to have some tough times, but hopefully in three years we'll be ready to compete.

Lamar is a very good team that can really score. Coach (Billy) Tubbs does a good job of getting his guys prepared. They have a guy (Alan Daniels) who is leading the league in scoring and can score in a lot of different ways. We will have to find a way to contain him to be successful.

We really struggled to score the ball tonight. We had a lot of good looks but could not get them to go in. We desperately need to settle down and make those shots.

We played really well today. We were very unselfish and passed the ball well. They shot more than 50 percent from the floor in the first half and I explained to them that we needed to do a better job of contesting shots. In the second half, we made the necessary adjustments and it really feels good to get this first one on the road.

UTSA is obviously a pretty good team having already defeated us this season. Having them at home gives us an advantage, but we know it will be a challenge and that we will have to compete for all 40 minutes.

We are sharing the ball very well right now. Our guys are taking good shots for our team. Gary (Robinson) and James (Perkins) have really helped by giving us an inside-outside threat. We just want to keep working hard every day and focus on improving as a team.

They come out like a veteran team. They are a good team.
