Mark Hatton Quotations

We've started to shoot the ball well the last couple of weeks. Wilson in particular has started to show his old form. His numbers have completely turned around.

I thought the defensive execution wasn't there at the end. The offensive execution was good enough. We were scoring, but when didn't execute on defense. We couldn't stop them from penetrating towards the basket.

I thought Virgil and Bryce had their moments, and I thought that Dodson's performance in the fourth quarter was incredible. He's one of the guys out late from football, and he's one of the first football players to get their legs back.

Our game plan was to get the ball inside to Harris and Wilson, and when we did, I thought we did well.

We play as well defensively as any team I have seen in this section in a long, long time.

We're excited to be No. 2. After the difficult start we had we have won 18 of our last 21 games. Everything is going well for us right now.

While there appears to be some signs of the beginnings of a recovery in the housing market and more positive news of Christmas trading from retailers, it is clear that companies are still finding it difficult to forecast in the current economic climate.

This was retribution. We needed this for our program.

We're very excited to be in the semifinals.

It's just didn't seem like that. We got the shots off.

It was just an awesome display of defense. The kids just did an outstanding job.

Anytime you go just 15-of-30 in free throws, people are going to stay in the game. We have to stop fouling as much as we did tonight. We are reaching too much on defense, and that's because the conditioning is not there. You can't have a player like Barry Wilson foul out.

I picked up a tear in my abductor before the Olympics and this machine identified what was wrong so I did not need to go to hospital.

I don't think we came out flat in the first quarter but in the second quarter we really got it together, Barry Wilson in particular. He's playing really well right now.

The first two minutes of the third quarter were crucial. We needed to come out on fire, and it didn't happen.
