Andy Palmer Quotations

We have been playing very good defense, and we have rebounded well.

We have good balance, and we have had seven or eight kids lead us in scoring, which has been another key for us. We seem to be playing well together right now.

We felt like we could play a lot better second half. We were up three, so we felt pretty good about where we were. We've been a second-half team in the last four, five or six games. We've always been able to make a push, and were able to do it again.

He's by far the quickest guard we've faced this year, without a doubt. That was one of our weak spots defensively was guarding off the dribble. We had trouble with it early in the year. We thought we done a better job the second half.

We were able to get a couple of lay-ups when we spread the floor and I thought the 3-point basket by Palm was a huge one. The kids have worked hard for this.

He's a nice player. We're definitely going to have to figure something out to stop him. His size is a concern.

(Williams) was a handful because of the way we defended him. We just tried to switch everything on Terrill and make sure we had a hand in his face.

We have one game to get to Peoria. You can't ask for a better thing than that. We told them before the game that this is why you play -- for games like this that mean something. Just go out and leave everything on the floor. I thought they did that.

It's just been a challenge every game. I thought we did some good things to get ourselves some cushion, then it's kind of the same old thing that's happened to us all week.

I thought when they made that little run there in the third quarter, we stood around. We weren't as active in our zone and we let (Rudy) catch it, where the first half we didn't let him catch it.
