Brian Snider Quotations

Toledo played with a lot of intensity. They played like they wanted it more. They got out after us and made things real difficult. And everybody they put in had a lot of confidence shooting and drove on us at will.

If you'd have told me that before the game I would have said you were crazy. But the turnovers pretty much explain it.

I don't think it's anything about Eastern, it's more of a coincidence. I didn't want to leave this arena or these fans on a losing note.

I?m so proud of these students. Some play baseball, softball or run for the track team, hold down jobs, have homework assignments each night and they still found time to raise this much money? Words cannot describe just how proud I am of them.

It's rewarding to be going back to Cleveland. We want to go there and win. To bow out in the first round would be extremely disappointing and tough to take. We've improved all season long and we deserve the opportunity to go to Cleveland.

I thought we were a little flat in the first half and I took it upon myself to come out with a lot of energy and fire in the second half.

A special thank you to everyone who took the time to donate money to this cause. Everyone who either donated cash or wrote a check, we want you to know that the money will stay in the local area and help those affected by the recent catastrophes.

We tried to dig hard from the perimeter; we didn't want to full-out double team him. We know that he's a really good passer out of the post. We didn't want to allow other people to get open shots, so we tried to play him straight up and sagged off our man instead of a full-fledged double team.

We decided to raise money for the American Red Cross. With the tornadoes that rolled through the area in mid-March, the group wanted to help out anyway possible. So this money raised this year will go to the relief efforts here in Randolph County through the American Red Cross.
