Dennis Dacus Quotations

We knew this game wasn't gonna be a blowout, so we went in at halftime and we said let's pick up the defensive pressure.

When you commit twice as many errors as runs, you don't win many ball games. I keep telling these kids they're much better than they're playing right now. They're just not making the right plays at the right time.

If they had (Johnson) it would be them and the rest of us.

Lisbon will be a 10-win team before the season is over.

We kind of made some bad decisions down near the end, shooting 3-pointers too early. But you've got to give it to Calais, they played a great game.

We just had a practice and we all agreed that we're not done. We can't be complacent. We can't be happy with that win last night even though it was a great win. Our goal is not to just get here but to go on.

We challenged Timmy at halftime to really get in his face.

I know he's got the fire in his belly. The team knows if we play well behind him we're going to win the game.

I think our defensive intensity and our movement is much better (than earlier in the tournament).

I'd say Calais is almost a picture replica of us. They're very quick, they're not tall and they like to get out and run like we do.
