Tom Curle Quotations

The options were Travis in the post, Kris coming off a stagger-screen, or Anthony. And Anthony did a great job of making the right decision. That was a shot he made for the team, not a shot he made for himself. He looked at his other two options first and they weren't there. He took the best option available and he's a good enough player to make it.

You shoot 58-percent, you're going to win some games.

We had some open looks, but it's difficult to win anytime you shoot 30-percent from the floor.

It was tied at 55 apiece and they went on 23-2 run over the next 6:00 and we just couldn't hit a shot. (Travis) Gorham got hurt and we had a little lull and didn't really get out of it.

Kris Gibb-Smith hit a three 22 seconds into the second half and we showed we were still focused. I was very pleased. We didn't get sloppy and the players were remarking about how we have playoffs to prepare for and we can't let down -- Travis Gorham in particular took on a leadership role there.

The morale of the team is very good. They know what's ahead of them and they're pretty confident. We've had some tough stretches this season, but the sign of a good team is what you learn from those stretches.

We've got film on them, and they like to pound the ball. They push the ball and shoot a lot of threes. They're going to score some points. We've got to get back in transition and we're going to have to know where (David) Sontag is. They've got real good inside-outside threats and any team that can present that can be a problem.

He's getting to the rim, but he's still having trouble elevating, which is frustrating for him.

We won the game without Travis on the floor which is a good indication that the team can come together when someone goes down.

We were pleasantly surprised. We did a fitness test coming back, and we didn't lose anything physically. And you're always worried about a setback in terms of remembering sets, but they've looked good.
