Bob Hofman Quotations

We gutted it out. We had a poor first half. But we played a lot better in the second half. We really picked up on defense and caused a lot of turnovers.

We're still searching for a little more balance offensively, but we're still evolving. Next weekend's games are huge, huge games.

For some reason, this gym has been our nemesis.

We made our free throws; we were 21-of-23 from the line, so that was encouraging.

He was really good. He really played well.

He was the best player on the court for us. He was sensational.

I was disappointed we didn't guard a little better.

Man, that was like pulling teeth out there tonight.

We couldn't put them away. Wayne Franklin had a great second half. I thought we did a real good job defensively in the first half on him, but their scheme in the second half did a great job of getting him more touches.

We still control our own destiny. But this was a bitter loss, a really tough, tough loss to take.

We control our own destiny. That's about all you can ask for at this point.

So, we've got to defend that post play.

That team played as hard as anyone we've seen so far this season. It was tough, and we never got the crowd into it, never got those scoring bursts.

You play the whole league season to get a home court in the tournament.

They made the plays when they had to, and we didn't. And their guards hit the big shots when they had to.

They're a lot better team than they're record indicates. They've had a culture of losing, they just need to get over that.

They're playing as well as anybody in the league over the past two weeks.

That lead disappeared in a hurry, didn't it? We got a couple of key possessions, and managed to get the lead back pretty quickly.

It seemed like we were running in cement. But give them credit. They made the plays. But it was a very disappointing loss.

It was a good college basketball game. But the basketball gods were smiling on the California kids.

They'll play a little zone. But basically they're a man team.

In the first half, we jumped out and got up by 10. We were in danger of taking over.

And again, we got a big lift from our bench.
