Ed DeChellis Last Quotations

Whatever it is -- the last five minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half -- if you're not ready to play, the game turns just like that. We've got to play a complete game. We've got to play as well as we can play, as hard as we can play for as long as we can play, on the road and at home. That's just what it is.

I felt comfortable the whole way. I felt like we finally pushed the ball the last five minutes of the game and got some easy baskets and guarded them a little bit better.

Our team chemistry is pretty good. They really like each other and enjoy playing with one another ... which we really haven't had the last couple of years.

Last year, they knew exactly what they were doing. This year, this guy's starting, that guy's starting, probably because that's just the way it is. They're trying to find the right mixture.

We played well enough to win, but in the last couple of minutes, we didn't execute. Strickland made some big shots. ... He was guarded, but that's what seniors do.

My big concern now is, we can't let a situation where we had a nice win on the road be the highlight of the season. Beginning today, we need to refocus on what we're all about and that's the last seven games, and trying to get better in practice every day.
