Joe McKeown Quotations

They made plays, they made shots, they defended well when they had to.

It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, we looked like a CYO team that hadn't practiced. In the second half, we just made plays.

By the time I think we really got our arms around this game and made a run, it seemed like we were just out of gas.

She's a big-time player. I just have to keep convincing her of that.

I thought our kids did a great job of handling that. We were still able to score even when they got some momentum going.

We were due for a game offensively. It's no secret we've struggled to score the last couple weeks. It just helped that we were able to get some good shots early. To have six players in double figures scoring, that's a fantasy for me.

They were a pretty good No. 2 seed. I'll say that much.

We went out and played everybody we could. I think we're in pretty good shape. Now, it's a matter of where you're going to end up playing.

We just wanted to send a message that we were not going to play like we did last Sunday. That wasn't acceptable.

Our defensive effort was good from the opening tip and that's something we've focused on in practice all week. We had a few breakdowns at Massachusetts, which was unlike us. It was a good week to focus on the defensive end. We created a lot of havoc, a lot of turnovers.
