Bernie Bickerstaff Shots Quotations

He's dedicated to getting better. I might be selfish or biased, but I think legitimately if you look at his stats, he fills up the sheet with his steals, blocked shots and rebounds.

He's had to do a lot of things because we haven't been making shots from the perimeter.

We had some good shots. We had some point-blank shots at that time. I think what happened was on the other end, they went to Hamilton and he made some big shots. Their execution down the stretch was really, really good.

When we looked down during the national anthem and saw nine guys, we anticipated trouble. That's what I was afraid of all day. They played like we've played when we've been down and just have eight or nine. They made some unbelievable shots with a hand in their face. There were a couple of possessions that we just couldn't come up with the ball.

The alarm clock didn't go off until the second half. We didn't match their intensity on defense. We got hung up in fool's gold. Some shots were going in but we didn't stop anybody.

They contested our shots, that's what they do. Some of their shots we contested and they made them. Those guys made some tough shots.
