Mike LaPlante Quotations

When they're playing with a double-digit lead, they're a totally different team because they can really be patient with the shots they're gonna take. You get down ten or more to those guys it just changes the whole game.

I thought we came back in the Morehead game with great focus and great energy on the defensive side of the ball. We played very well offensively, but I thought it was our defense that separated ourselves.

This was a really big win for us. We really needed to get back on track at home, and for our guys do it the way they did by fighting from behind says a lot about what this team is capable of accomplishing.

The difference in the game was turnovers. We had more possessions than they did, and that proved to be the difference. This was a good quality win for our team.

That's the way we like to play when everything is right, an aggressive up-and-down style. If they want to run, that's the way we want to play and we will go.

We really needed to come out and win this game tonight. We are trying to secure a home game in the league tournament, and have to take care of business at home to be ale to do that. B.J got hot in the second half and made some big baskets for us to help us pull away.

He's going to be great. He's one of those guys that you can put him in any environment and he's going to adapt and excel.

It's not always the team that makes the great plays that's gonna win. It's the team that makes the fewest mistakes.

Morehead State was only averaging about maybe 60 or 63 points a game. Once we scored 70, you knew they were going to have a hard time beating us. We had 70 points with probably ten minutes to go in the game.

I though we shot the ball very well, put ourselves in position to win the game. It's 68-66 with six to go and we've got the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead. Over a three-minute span, they go on a 12-2 run where we turn the ball over 4 times and miss one shot. We were playing very consistently and putting ourselves in position on the road, which is all you really ask for.
