Frank Haith Ball Quotations

We did do a good job of breaking them down. They're so aggressive on the ball we felt like that was something we could do.

He drove the ball in the past but he avoided the contact. Now, he's jumping through the contact. He's confident. He's a senior that wants to win, that knows this is his last go-around and he's going at it with a lot of passion.

We lost our focus a little and they got some shooters loose, and they made shots to their credit. Then when we have some opportunities to score we didn't shoot the ball well. We don't have enough in the tank when Guillermo doesn't score and Anthony doesn't have some kind of night. It's going to be tough for us.

We played great defense. It was a night where we didn't particularly shoot the ball well from deep, and we found a way to win.

We played with no toughness. Virginia played tougher. ? When they have guys rip the ball out of our hands, that's toughness.

We had the ball with a chance to cut it to three or two points but Harris took a bad shot. That was a big turnaround.

They got some really good looks in terms of us being able to move the ball and make good decisions. Those guys made big plays.

It's been something our kids have really worked hard at. When you lose tight ball games, tough ball games. ... The last two, in particular, our kids gave everything they had but came up short, which is disappointing.

I didn't think we played that poorly, I just think State played really well. They shot the ball tremendously that day and they were playing at a high level. I told Herb after the game that he had a heck of a team. I think they are the second best team in the league right now. It will take a yeoman's effort for us to beat them.
