Kevin Gardner Quotations

We have a responsibility to make sure the customer gets what they need, especially with this product where time is of the essence.

He was definitely going to have an opportunity, it was just a matter of if he could take advantage of it.

I think we were just trying to play hard the entire game, when we got down, when we got up. We weren't gonna throw in the towel with four minutes left.

I think we were just finding ourselves as a team. We have a really young team. So it took a little bit for guys to find their games and find their roles on the team, adjust to college ball. Everyone's kind of getting settled down in their roles. Hopefully we can string together a few wins toward the end of the season.

We just came out flat, we've been doing it all year. Today it really hurt us. I feel like that's where we lost the game, that first five minutes.

We got to dig down deep and gut a few of these road wins out. Those games are going to be tough, I don't think there's any one of them that we can't win. And we're definitely just going to need to give a better effort than we did tonight.

We're not the kind of team that's gonna give up. We still wanted to play, and we weren't gonna go down without a fight.

We're not sending it back, we're just holding it until the investigation is resolved.

We had a pretty spirited halftime, and we just looked at it as pretty much a turning point for our season. We can't afford to lose too many games, especially at home, and we just knew we needed to come out and shut them down. At halftime we ratcheted it up and got down to our defense.

We still consider this a test. We're evaluating the models and looking at the space available in the stores.

With a team that has a lot of guys who can score, it comes down to guarding your own man and not letting them get easy shots. It goes on every individual to guard their man and we still need to continue to play better team defense.

We need to continue getting better. We're nowhere near where we want to be come conference tournament time. We still have a lot of work to do. The team isn't perfect now. We've got a lot of areas we need to work on.

This year's been rough. We've had a lot of ups, a lot of downs - probably more downs than ups.

We weren't going to throw in the towel with four minutes left. We still wanted to play and we weren't going to go down without a fight.

Our shots were not falling today. It was brutal shooting them, it was brutal watching them.

That place is a tough place to play. We realize you can't come out flat against that team. We didn't really get going until the end of the game. But we know that in order to beat any team in our conference we can't come out flat.

You're not going to win too many games shooting under 30 percent unless something else is working for you. In part we got a lot of offensive rebounds because we were missing so many shots, but if they were able to get those rebounds, it probably would've been a lopsided loss.

You can't say we didn't have out chances. We had a lot of shots, but most of them the goalie saw. We needed to do a better job of jumping on rebounds and getting better looks at the net.
