Doc Sadler Played Quotations

We just kept playing hard and I think our depth helped us wear them down a little in the end. But they played well and it could have gone either way.

It's no bigger than Saturday's game (a win at Tulsa) was. But these are two teams who have played well and who have got a chance to keep themselves one game out of first place. But whether we are playing UAB or East Carolina, it is a big game.

There isn't anybody who could have played the schedule they've played and have a very good record. When you look at the tapes, you see a very athletic team.

We played hard early and, unfortunately, looked at the scoreboard and our intensity fell off. When you're only playing seven guys, sometimes you try to conserve energy, and that's my fault. I thought they definitely outplayed us as far as effort in the last 20 minutes.

SMU is one of the top four teams in this league, talent-wise. I'm glad we've already played them twice.

It finally caught up to us. We didn't have any emotion. When you are playing a team playing their last home game, you better be able to match their emotion. This game can't be played unless you are emotionally ready to play. You have to give Central Florida credit. They were ready to play. They did that. They made some shots ... and when you are emotionally ready to play, you make some shots.

I think SMU is one of the top four teams in this league, especially talent-wise. They're getting better every game. I'm glad we've played them twice.

This is a team that has very good guards. They have guards who are capable of scoring points. On the nights when they have scored, they have been very difficult to beat. They have beaten some people and they have played well against some good teams. They have gone to Houston and won.
