Chris Hernandez Job Quotations

I didn't make plays. They did a good job of rotating and doubling and mixing it up and we just didn't make plays. They shot the ball very well tonight.

I think everybody did a great job of trying not to focus on what we had lost, but trying to focus on what we could do. Nobody got real anxious or nervous when Matt went out. ... I think that's what you have to do when you lose one of your best players. You can't hang on it or it's going to affect your game, and the team's game and the mind-set.

We got a lot of good looks, we didn't make them and Missouri State did a good job of running its stuff. They did a good job of attacking and getting to the free-throw line, along with our inability to make shots.

This is one of the best games we played all year. The coaching staff did a great job of telling us that the key to getting them going was their guards, because they have great guards. We wanted to come out and make them take tough shots, tough plays.

They did a nice job of rotating and mixing things up, but I just didn't make plays.
