Tim Walsh Played Quotations

Our defense and special teams really played for us. I'm so proud of the guys and how hard they fought to win this one. Finding a way to win is an important quality for a team to have, and I think we showed that tonight.

That's one thing about these guys. I told them after the game, 'You played your guts out again.' We just shot the ball so poorly in the first half. We didn't take good shots and we didn't defend very well in the first half. We dug ourselves a big hole.

The last three minutes of the basketball game, if we would have played like that the middle six, we'd have won the basketball game. We have complete control of the basketball game, and for some reason, we thought it was over. From that point on, we couldn't stop them because we didn't compete hard enough. We competed the last three minutes.

That was our goal to get the game to the fourth quarter. We had some great opportunities to get some points, but we just didn't. We competed and played extremely hard. I can't fault any of our players. We competed hard and just fell short.

They were so much better than we were tonight. I can't even tell you how much better they were. All the credit goes to them. They played very well. They dominated that basketball game. They deserved to win that basketball game.

The kids really battled. The kids off the bench did a great job. All our kids played hard. They played their hearts out. We're going to be OK. We have just got to win one of these. We're going to be OK.

That (the dunk) was huge. That sparked everybody. It got the crowd back into the game because we let one slip away again. Everybody started doubting. I'm sure they gave him a lot of confidence as well and he played real well. I'm very happy.

I think it's been our schedule on the road. I think we've played pretty well on the road. The only game we've played really poorly on the road is Indian Hills.

Kevin played his heart out the whole year. He simply did it again. He never gives up. He's a fantastic leader. He's an excellent student. He's No. 2 in his class. Overall, he's just an excellent person.

We played our butts off. Our goal on defense was to make them earn it. They were fortunate enough to get more points than we had.
