Ron Lievense Good Quotations

They were getting countless open jump shots and our pressure was not very good at all. We got crushed on the boards. It all comes down to effort and that's why those are the two things we've built our program on. We didn't give that effort.

They have athletes, they have shooters, they play really smart basketball, they take good shots and they defend hard. I'm really counting on (our) guys to get plenty of rest.

He had a great game at Mount Olive, and another good one last Saturday. For him to get a third player-of-the week honor is certainly something to be proud of. I am proud of him, especially since the season is not over. I am tremendously excited for him.

Overall, it was a good win for us because the ball wasn't falling. We didn't shoot to our capability so it was good to see us shoot well from the free-throw line.

People have looked at our size all season and wonder how we got here and how we won 28 games. We're not going to look good in an airport. One coach called us the best below the rim team he'd ever seen, so I guess we're not all that athletic.

I think he's having an outstanding season. He came back to Barton a lot better basketball player. He had a good year for us last year, but, now, he's having a great year. He's making great strides, and it's showing.
