Mo McHone Quotations

I really believed that no team in this tournament was going to go undefeated. It just shows you how balanced the whole tournament is. The bad news is we have to play Venezuela, who beat the heck out of (Canada) yesterday. We'll have to be ready.

This was the first time the U.S. had to qualify for the World Championships without NBA players. I kind of feel like we won the gold medal.

When we lost Kris Lang I thought that really took our energy away and they hit us really hard at that time.

The way they came out is not surprising, but now we've got to get our focus back.

We extended a lot of energy yesterday, a lot of emotion in the Brazil game and so to come out flat and play the way we did is not surprising.

This is a tournament where every game will be a fight.

I kind of feel like we won the gold medal.

We made some adjustments defensively and rebounded better than we did in the other three games. We finally got a break.

I kept telling my guys Venezuela would start missing. But they made a liar out of me because they never did.

The bottom line is Brazil is just a better team then we are.
