Herb Sendek Second Quotations

I was really proud of the way we responded in the first and second overtimes after the way Miami fought back and tied the game in regulation. It showed tremendous heart.

He gave us a great energy boost. He did a lot to ignite us in the first half and did the same thing in the second half.

I think the difference in the second half was just being here at the RBC Center. The crowd really stepped up to the challenge and gave us the support we needed.

We were just too far down down to get off the mat. Our guys battled in the second half, and we just came up short in every way tonight.

We had the utmost respect for them coming in. We talked about the fact that we had to come ready and play excellent basketball tonight. I don't think for even one-half a second our guys took UNCG lightly, not even for one-half second.

That obviously was a swing back in their favor. But there was still plenty of time, if we would have played better than we did in the second half.

They run a motion offense with five 3-point shooters on the floor, and they do a good job of spacing and screening. It will really challenge our guys to get down and guard, and perhaps have to do so for 35 second possessions. A really different type of defensive assignment than what we faced last week against Alabama, which was inside-oriented and spaced a little bit tighter.
