Dave Loos Hard Quotations

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.

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 think we just need to go and play as hard as we can, as smart as we can and see what washes out after the weekend. I don't think there is a lot of sense in worrying about 'what if' this, or 'what if' that. I think we just need to go out there and play the best we can (today) and play the best we can Saturday and see where that leads us.
