Al Gooden Good Quotations

Their guards did a good job, and they were the key. We knew we were low on guards, and they had two quality guards.

They bring good size. They aren't so big for us because we play a lot of teams with size, though. Hopefully, we will be used to playing with teams that size, which I think we are.

The kids played hard. As a coach, that's what you want to happen. We hit some shots (early), forced some turnovers. But they're a good basketball team. They're not here for no reason. They did a good job coming back.

We sit down in that zone and guard the perimeter, and kept our feet and quit reaching. That's why we went to the zone, because we were reaching too much. I think we did a good job of shadowing them and kept them from penetrating. And it prevented us from getting deeper in foul trouble.

We had them right there at the end of the game. We got the steal and came down and Pryce got inside and couldn't get the ball up. He did a good job getting down there.

We knew we were going to have to run the offense more and move the ball quickly around the perimeter to create shots. We were patient and took good shots.
