Duane Gasperini Quotations

Our kids deserved better. We battled well and fought our way back. It was one of those games you hate to lose, for either team.

We played pretty well in the first half. We had a little bit of a letdown in the third quarter. We just couldn't buy a basket, but defensively we kept battling. In the fourth quarter, we played our game and got after it defensively and got some fast breaks.

We committed some bad turnovers in the final minutes. We had a chance to win. We just didn't get the job done.

Coming out in the third quarter, we had a few defensive breakdowns and they came out and hit some 3 pointers.

Even when we were down early, we were playing at a good pace for us. We were able to get out and run a little bit. And that's the pace we like to play at.

The kids kept battling and didn't quit. I'm real proud of them. They found a way to do it.

He's a pretty good player. I didn't think we did a good enough job helping on him once he got by the first defender. He's a strong kid and can finish around the basket.
