Deke Routheaux Robert Quotations

Robert Wood's penetration was key to the win, especially after Nelson fouled out. He would drive and dish outside. He really created a lot of offense for us. It was a very competitive match. They're a much improved team, with a good coach who's turning that program around.

We still had a chance to tie the game at the line, trailing by two with 4.2 seconds left, but Robert missed his first free throw, then the second on purpose, but we couldn't get the rebound.

Elliot had a nice game for us. Our young guys continue to improve. Those are the kind of contributions we're going to need from our freshmen as we near the tournament. Robert had another nice floor game for us with several assists, too.
