Mike Pardon Ball Quotations

I thought we played excellent defense in the first half and that really set the tone. We shot the ball extremely well and did a good job on the boards. I was proud of our guys for giving a strong effort for four quarters.

I think any time you shoot the ball really well, it hides a lot of mistakes. I think we did a nice job of executing and were very unselfish with the ball. When you do that, good things happen.

We shot a very high percentage this year and we're hoping to build on that. If we take care of the ball and get good shots, we will have a good chance. That's been a huge key to our success this year.

Eric had a tremendous offensive season. Offensively, he's as good as anyone who's ever played here. We felt he could score, and we had some kids who were very unselfish and got him the ball in good scoring position.

Sometimes three games in three days will catch up with you. (Corvallis) played really well in the second quarter and that was the biggest difference. They shot the ball really well and we didn't.
