Brian Rea Quotations

We made some mistakes, but it doesn't matter. We made up for them at the right time.

Kind of the trademark of this team all year is we don't give up. I'm proud of the way our boys competed tonight.

We executed very well on offense, and in the second half we were tough to stop. Our team doesn't have a lot of experience, but we have a lot of depth. If somebody is off, we put somebody else in to get the job done.

We had guys who don't shoot a lot of free throws step up in the end, so I was happy with that.

We just didn't make baskets. We were just a little juiced. They wanted to play so well, it just tensed us up a little bit. They made everything, and we didn't. That's just the name of the game.

We just didn't make baskets. We had good looks, but we were a little juiced, a little jittery. They made everything, we didn't. That's the name of the game.

We got the job done so we can play the team we want to play.

You have to make him go to the right. We didn't. You make him go to the right, he's going to give up the ball.

We didn't play any defense. That was our downfall. We've got to find some people that want to stop somebody. I told them I don't care which five guys it is. I just need five guys that can stop somebody.

The way that Wheaton Academy plays, it played right into Ryan Wagner's game. He's long and lengthy, and he can score around the basket. Our wheel was working, and we were getting a lot of baskets inside.

It's the team that finishes the grind that has the special memories.

It's our house, we shoot here every day. Finally this season, we're playing much better at home and hitting some big shots, so I'm very proud of the kids.

That's the good thing since Christmas, we haven't had to rely on one player. For 2 1/2 seasons, we had to rely on one player. If they were hot, we were hot. If they were not, we were not. It's been really nice to have five, six, seven, eight guys to throw at them. I'm very proud of them.

Excellent season. Very proud of these kids. They worked their butts off. Great turning point for our program.

I'll take the blame for that. We wanted to switch up to a zone defense. They started hitting their shots that they weren't making earlier.

He's our vocal leader. He got us going with that three at the buzzer. He was jumping around and everything like that, pumps everybody up.
