John Marhefka Quotations

From top to bottom Shippensburg is a good, solid team. They have both speed and size, and more importantly they have a lot of guys with experience and have played in the PSAC for some years now.

He is one of our top scorers this season, but he still has a long way, like all freshmen do, to understand our system and his role.

Overall records are misleading, we are treating the PSAC West schedule as a new season and we are pushing for a PSAC playoff spot. We must execute better and our margin of error is very small right now.

Most of all players are still hungry, but it's getting harder every week to give these guys some positive reinforcement because of the losing skid. They are getting frustrated because in high school they were the big player and winning, now at the college level there are better players and a different style of play to adjust to.

The overall mood of the team is frustration because we have put in a lot of work and effort into practices and games. Our youth and inexperience has shown up in some games, but we are playing a lot of tough teams in a very competitive conference.

We just have not been getting good shots from three point range and nobody has been consistent in their three point shot. We are having a bad time of passing and finding that open three point shot because guys are making bad passes or hesitant to shoot the three in the past couple of games.

It's a very difficult thing to get over the hump and win those close games. We just have three or four minutes in a game that we don't play our best on both sides of the ball and the other team capitalize. We are always battling back, trying to make a comeback.
