Mark Ehlen Team Quotations

For the life of me, I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to get this team to play hard for 40 minutes. Against BG, we had a great first half and sucked the second half; against these guys, we sucked the first half and had a great second half, but not great enough. We've got a lot of players who just want to participate and don't want to compete.

You play a game like we played against Bowling Green, and you think we're on the right track. I can't figure this team out. I just can't figure them out.

Both teams had their opportunities, but Central Michigan stepped up and made enough big shots down the stretch to win.

And that's for a team that has had trouble generating a lot of points. Crystal has had a very solid senior year. I think she ranks with all of the top point guards in the league.

Anything that I've said to the team hasn't been effective. I've been mad, I've stomped, I've screamed, I've been encouraging and positive, and nothing matters.

They took advantage of every mistake we made. That's what good teams do at this time in the year.

She picks things up quickly. Diana is just starting to blossom and is only showing a glimpse of what she might turn out to be. Her teammates really respect her for how hard she works to recover from everything she has been through.

I'm really at a bit of a loss with this team right now. I thought we played a tad better in the second half, but we don't need a tad better - you need to play a lot better. We had a couple chances to get back into the game, but we couldn't convert enough and get enough stops.
