Neil Dougherty Quotations

When things are going well he's patting someone on the butt. And when they aren't going well, he is kicking them there.

We survived the first, but we couldn't survive the second. If you're talking about shooting the ball, (Terry) was the difference. He made some big, timely shots.

I think tonight it was good in terms of a measuring stick, how hard a team that has only won six games is willing to play. I'm just really kind of going to miss four kids that played very hard all year with little success in terms of wins and losses. It was a joy coaching them.

We've just got to keep plugging away. The effort's been there. I can't complain about how hard we're working. We just haven't had too many rewards for our effort so far.

We saw the most talented team in the league. If there are going to be any shots taken, they'll be taken at me. One of these days, we're going to win a game. Let's not forget (SDSU) is pretty good. We knew how good they were with the ball.

It's something that can happen on the road. We had some things not go right for us, and we started to hang our heads.

Anyone who has ever gone through this knows how tough it is. Surprisingly, they've handled it well. It's no fun, but they're ready to go at the next practice or the next game. They're a resilient group.
