Mike Mislak Played Quotations

We could have shot better from the line and the field, but overall we played well. Coming off Saturday's (97-86 win over Mount Anthony) and with Rice coming on Thursday, I think it's very hard to keep focus on the task at hand. But the guys did and I'm happy with that effort.

We just picked it up. It was the same stuff as the first half. We just dug down a little bit and made it a little uncomfortable for them to run their offense. Once we got the lead, we started building and they really had to come out of their game plan. It looked like their game plan was to hold on to the ball and stay close and once they had to attack, they were very unsuccessful with that and it played well for us.

He was steady, he played great defense and was a real key off the bench. Not only for rest and foul trouble, but his contributions on the defensive side and keeping us going.

Really, we failed to convert and in the second half there was no execution. For Essex, they played a great game. Our defense was lackluster, but they just out-played us.

The energy was real high tonight. We came out with a lot of motivation ? we knew this game was important ? and the fact that we shot well helped us keep that going. They had it in their eyes tonight. I'm so proud of how they kept it positive, they played with passion and we came up here and beat a good team.
