Dave Loos Good Quotations

I think he (Hampton) has to work his way through it in his own mind. He's going to continue to keep shooting and that's what will help this team, and that's what we want him to do. Hopefully he'll get off to a good start here soon and he'll be shooting better.

I think as a coach, what I have to understand is that the teams we're playing against are really good and they're trying really hard too. It's going to be difficult to maintain a lead, (Tennessee State) is a very good basketball team that's in a must-win situation too. These last games are all going to be very difficult. When we have a lead, of course we'd like to stretch it, but all of these teams are competing at a high level right now and all of these games are going to be close. We're just happy to hold on and win whenever we can.

I thought our defense was good tonight. I was really happy with that.

He's a good player and he will work his way through it.

These guys won 17 games; that's no small feat especially as inexperienced as they were. It was an accomplishment and yet we had some disappointment. But I am excited about the future. I think we have a good basketball team brewing. I really do.

It's hard to play any better than we did at the beginning of the game. The down side of that is you can't sustain that for 40 minutes ... you just can't. But we got off to a great start and overall played a good basketball game.
