Billy Lange Team Quotations

We started off great, but we couldn't stay consistent. We go through droughts because we're still a young team trying to figure out how to score against tough defense. Even though we were ahead, I didn't like the flow of the game. We were trading baskets with Lehigh and you can't do that. I knew we needed to clamp down.

I don't care about points or stats or anything like that. All I care about is seeing our team play with great passion on defense. You can't be a good basketball program unless you truly believe that defense wins championships. We're getting there.

I thought we handled their run tremendously. That is the biggest difference in this team from last year.

We can't afford to start a game not sharp. Our offensive energy needs to be higher. Holy Cross had a lot to do with that. They are a physical team that plays great defense.

It's just an attitude a team develops. You can't hide a bad defender. Everybody on the floor has to do their part.

There's toughness and then there's championship toughness. Holy Cross has championship toughness. They have a will to win that you don't just learn. You have to go through things as a team and we will learn from this game.

I like coming off the bench now. It gives me an opportunity to see how the game's progressing and what my team needs of me on the court whether it be scoring or getting rebounds.
