Mark Coffman Played Quotations

I thought we played with a lot of energy, but we just didn't shoot the ball very well. We were atrocious at the line. We got some good free throw shooters there at the line near the end and that helped.

I think we kind of played lackadaisical in the second half. I think both teams had trouble scoring. Most of our offense in the first half came from our defense.

I think (the Rams) are as good as any team we've played this season. They just play so smart. Every player they have can shoot and pass the ball real well.

I was proud of the way we played in the second half. We didn't do that many things better than in the first half, but we stayed tough.

We played better. We couldn't keep people in front of us in the first half. We had better defense the second half. We got off to a good start but we just couldn't keep it going.

We've played Amarillo each of the last three years in the tournament and we've never beaten them so that should serve as some motivation for us.

That's as good as we've played all year. A lot of (the offense) came off our defense with some steals and grabbing some long rebounds which started fast breaks.

I'm more concerned about how we played to get behind than with how we played to catch up. I think we got some conditioning in today. It's going to be really hard for us to come back with an emotional letdown.
