Jay Lasley Quotations

We gave up a couple of big offensive rebounds right there. We knew it was our will against theirs and I think their will won out right there at the end.

We played (well) the first half because we were patient on offense. We were able to get some nice easy shots by being a little bit patient. I think our poise was rattled there in the third quarter. It was tough to climb back out of that 17-point hole. We made a heck of a run at it. We just couldn't finish it.

When the playoffs start, it's a whole new season.

We challenged the kids, and they answered the call today.

Somebody's going to have to make a big play that decides this ball game.

As far as from an offensive standpoint, we had chances, we just have to capitalize. If we have those chance again, we just have to drive in runners.

It was a war. But I thought we played with a lot composure at the end. With about six minutes left, we looked a little rattled, but I told the guys, 'You've been there before.' We've been through games like this a lot this year.

In big games like this, you have to have someone to step up, and Trey pitched with a lot of heart and guts. We gave him the rock, and he pitched us a gem.
