Jim Litchfield Quotations

We're in a playoff situation, and we had to win this game. We didn't win, and we go home.

He was a man tonight. He knew the importance of this game, and to his credit, he stepped up.

Going into the season, we had a lot of unknowns. We've had to be able to try and figure out the pieces to the puzzle as the season has progressed.

You can't blame the officiating. No excuses. We just didn't get it done.

We tried to shorten the game up a little bit and do things on the defensive end to keep Davis from doing things. It worked pretty well but not well enough.

We see every trick defense you can throw at us. So that doesn't throw us off.

It's an 18-game season, and you have to be ready to go every night. It was a big win on Tuesday. And you can talk about being ready to play. ...But in the end, you have to be able to do it. And we didn't get it done.

If you look at us at the beginning of the year, we were inexperienced and lacked a true point guard. We've been able to improve ... and that's allowed us to do more things offensively.
