George Braun Quotations

Over the past three years or so, it's really become a good rivalry. They've had a good team and we've had a good team. And we've played some good games. (Tonight) I think at first we were both trying to feel each other out. It made for a low-scoring game. We like to play faster, but under control. At times we got out of control.

That was pretty cool. We got him out there and he took three shots and he finally hit one. He deserves it. He's a great kid. He's been with us all season. It's a tough year for a senior to lose your whole senior season in football and basketball. He was certainly going to start for us this year.

That was our best game of the year. And tonight might have been our second best.

That's the worst half of basketball I can ever remember playing in 21 years. I'd really have to think if there was one worse than that. It was just horrible.

(Westbrook) plays hard and they don't quit. This is the kind of game where you get in and you think you're just going to win it and then you make a few mistakes and you're not going to have a good game. We wanted to show tonight that we can play and to get ready for the next game.

There's only one place to go when you're up top and that's down. We just didn't want to continue that downward spiral.

Some of the threes were unbelievable. But we gave them the opportunity to get it.

That could have hurt us. Thanks god we had a big enough lead.

We needed to calm down and break their press. We came out, found the way through the press and also played a lot better on defense.

I just hope we haven't peaked. I still see room for improvement. We've been playing basically five kids and they could get tired this time of the year. But they just have to suck it up and get through it.
