Grant McCasland Quotations

He's a sophomore who understands what this is about. It's about doing whatever it takes to help the team win. He's been our team leader on and off the court for two years and he's the heart and soul of this team.

That year he learned to take a business-like approach to practice, not just coming in some days, be good and then take some days off like some players do. He's allowed himself to be more consistent by taking that approach to practice.

Honestly, I just thought we ran out of gas. We didn't look like we had any energy in the second half. That's very disappointing. In the second half we just tanked it. You have to give (the Hawks) a lot of credit because they just took it at us.

I love they way (the Wranglers) guard. They made it hard on us all night long. They're a tough team and they're going to win some games in this conference. They're not done.

The only thing I talked to the team about was to throw this one out. That wasn't us in the second half. You have to give (the Hawks) a lot of credit because they just came in here and beat us.

We can still grow and get better. I feel like our team will get better over conference. Hopefully we're prepared enough to not take any lumps early.

Every time they needed to hit a shot, they hit a shot and every time they needed to come up with a loose ball, they came up with a loose ball. We just played from behind the whole game.

Every year there's always going to be some team that you have a challenge beating them. This year was Howard. We hope other years that's the exception.

I thought we were a little sluggish early but we stayed patient on offense. To Military's credit, we didn't have that many open looks but we were able to get our inside-out game going and that was big.

South Plains has a talented wing in Harley but it looks like they've had other guys step up and play better for them. They're a team that can only get better. Our recipe for success no matter what is to get to the block and play inside-out.
