Shoot Quotations | Page 2

We knew what kind of shooter Smith was. That was no surprise to us. He made some unbelievable long-range shots with a hand in his face. And Carter hurt us in the first half. We allowed him to catch the ball in good position. We didn't play him properly.

We knew we would have to play tough defense from our first game at their place. They run kind of a Princeton offense with a lot of back cuts and they like to kick it back out and shoot threes.

We knew we were in the bonus, so we were going to keep attacking them. We weren't shooting the ball well, so we were going to try to get to the free-throw line and get points from there and that's what we did.

We knew we were going to get somebody like this. They have the big guy in the middle. But I don't know if they're a great shooting team. We'll have to mix it up. We've got to worry about guarding (Davis). But he also has to worry about guarding us.

We knew they would not quit. T-Town is a very good team, we knew we had to keep at them because they handle the ball well, shoot the three well and play good defense. That's not a team we thought we'd win big over. They shot the ball very well from three, I have to give them a lot of credit for that, they shot extremely well.

We knew they weren't going to shoot 100 percent. Coach always tells us about surviving their first blow and we did that.

We knew they were going to make a run. They shoot the ball so well and they have such quality players. I was just proud of my kids for responding.

We knew they were going to be a good team that was going to shoot the ball a lot. We had a good game plan, our defense played better than it did a week before (in a 16-3 loss to then No. 6 Cornell) and our offense moved the ball.

We knew they were athletic and William Thomas (33 points) is very good, so this is a good game for our kids to play and get a win. We didn't shoot the ball well or rebound all that great, so it is good to just get out of there with a victory.

We knew they were a good shooting team. In the first half we didn't get a hand up and we gave them good looks. In the second half, the defensive intensity picked up.
