Kelly Greenberg Game Quotations

We're excited. We really liked it last year, it was beautiful. It's a home game in a way, but it isn't in another way. The coaching staff is approaching it as it is a home game, and we don't have to travel.

My assistants pay a lot of attention to that stuff, checking scores during the game and things like that. But I don't even know what the standings are. I know that it's going to be a dogfight until the end.

I always say that we're as good as our last game and we're as good as our next game. Every game is so important. We went down to their place last year and they kicked our butts. They killed us.

I think we just get so mad when we feel that we have let a game slip through our fingers. We like to think of ourselves as a mentally tough team. Winning at Albany doesn't erase the feeling in our guts after the New Hampshire loss. Now we need to win again.

I think we stressed a lot that this was a big game for them to try and move up in the standings. And in all honesty, I keep thinking that we don't have it locked, and no matter what you always want to play well. I think that for 30 minutes of tonight's game we played well.

We played full court man-to-man to start the game with lots of pressure. With about eight minutes left, we went back to half-court man and stayed that way for the rest of the game.

We know that every single game we play is going to be tough. We definitely can't take anything for granted. I really think that's what we learned from the Stony Brook game. We have to not only be prepared but we have to bring it. If you have a loss and you can learn from it, that's a good loss.

It was a great experience and great for our players. It was loud the entire time, even when nothing was happening in the game. After the game our players came out and sat with them, joked around and signed autographs. Everyone who worked to put it together did a great job.

It was one of those against-all-odds things. Not many people would have played, because there is a chance of hitting her head and having the stitches burst open, but Rachael said that she wanted to play. She's a senior so she values every game and her family came down from Canada to watch. It was a great night for them.

I never ever question the team playing hard. I know I'm very lucky that I have 14 players that play hard all the time, but I think we just weren't talking and we didn't have that bounce in our step. I think if you come out and make yourself know and want to have a presence you have to talk, and that part of our game we didn't bring.

In the first five minutes of the game we looked great. Then it took a strange turn and none of us could really figure out how it happened. Their inside game really killed us.
