Pat Flaherty Quotations

We honestly weren't that worried about him, but there was just some stuff we couldn't stop against him. We had a couple of breakdowns on some other people, but he's a great player and they're a good team.

We're giving up 40 (points) a game, and I know they average more than that. If we keep them at 50, we'll have a good chance, but we have to control the tempo of the game because they're bigger than us, and if we limit the number of easy baskets, we'll have a good chance.

I think you've got to try to limit their touches as much possible which is difficult with their size. You have to try to keep them off the boards and out of the paint as much as possible, which is easier said than done.

It was a big momentum thing for us, and the kids showed a lot of heart coming back from that deficit. We're going in with the attitude that we can beat any team, but we know that every team in the playoffs is good and has confidence, so we'll just play hard and see what happens.
