Kevin Burbach Quotations

(The Plainsmen) are not afraid to get out and run. But they will also be deliberate and get the shot they want.

Ninety-nine percent of the time he will make good decisions with the ball. We are lucky to have a good player like Dane running the point.

Sutherland has a nice team. They've got size, we had trouble battling them on the boards. We rely on the outside shot and tonight it wasn't always clicking for us.

We needed a win like this, we've had two tough losses, the last at Hershey, where they played us great. We needed a game like this to get us over the hump, and I think we are ready to play.

We were just taking what they were giving us in the first quarter. I think they were daring us to shoot (from outside).

We knew Chase County has some good athletes and we knew they were going to come after us. They started in a man-to-man and we were able to execute some pretty good offense. We did a lot of good things on defense. It's a pretty good win. In the second half, we got tentative and Chase County turned up the heat a little and made it a little more difficult for us to flow.

The seniors really wanted to come out and put on a final good show in this gym, I really wanted them to also. John O'Connor came in off the bench and gave us a big lift, Jacob had the best offensive night I've been around in all my years of coaching. Dane got him the ball when he needed it, and it's just a great team win.

The seniors really played hard tonight. They did everything I asked and they just didn't get it done tonight.
