And if that means we carry a chip on our shoulder, OK. That's the hand we're dealt right now. We're big. We're strong. We attack. We're fast. |
Connecticut played very well. Our game plan was to keep them on the perimeter. They made shots, jump shots in the second half. We had easy opportunities that we weren't able to convert. |
Don't talk to me about that. Talk to him about that. That's his business. |
Give Connecticut credit. They played well. |
I didn't want to get somebody hurt in a meaningless game. We have a good bench, and they played hard. |
I have a great deal of respect for Isiah as a leader and basketball mind. |
I think our heart played a role today. We played really hard from start to finish and we did what we needed to do. We controlled the glass and we were very patient, and that was the key to the ball game. |
I think that we will need to finish at least 4-2 to be assured of a playoff spot. |
I think we're more talented than they are, but they've had good chemistry with their team all year long and they're consistent, |
I told our team that last year was more discouraging, because we lost to an inferior basketball team in the New York Liberty. This year, Connecticut was the most consistent team all year. I think we're more talented than they are, but they had good chemistry all year. |
I tried hard, it was close, but it didn't happen. |
I'll take any good start -- we've had so few of them, ... Part of it was we came out with good intensity and part of it was they just weren't making shots. |
I'll take any good start. We've had so few of them this year. |
I'm not unhappy about our effort. We need to play harder, there's no question about that. But, this is not a case of we didn't show. I think Connecticut played very well. They made jump shots, especially in the second half, which is going to happen. They are fine players. |
I'm not unhappy with our effort - Connecticut just played very well. They just made shots. |
