Scott Burzynski Quotations

From top to bottom, it was senior leadership. Five of these guys have been around for four years and been through these types of games. When you have that kind of experience, it pays off.

I was very happy defensively with the way we played. We did a lot of things to take away a couple of their strengths.

We haven't played anybody that big all year. Both teams were in foul trouble and our bench made a nice run.

We had a nice run at the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth quarter. With Poore on the bench, B.J. Thompson did a nice job in the middle for us.

We would have liked to take care of business and get some rest. There are positives and negatives to playing back-to-back nights in a regional. The positive is that you don't have to wait around to play; the negative is that you don't have much time to prepare. There might also be a little fatigue factor, but there are no excuses this time of year.

We got pounded. We literally got pounded. We never got anything established on the offensive end.

We're very happy right now. You want to play four games and we put ourselves in that position. We're playing for fifth place.

We are very pleased to come out of the tournament 3-2. Hopefully we've gained some momentum into the last half of the season and the rest of the year.

It was a nice atmosphere. It was one of those things where we were trying to work a little clock and make them foul us, and we missed some free throws and they hit some 3s. In the timeouts, we tried telling the kids that someone would have to step up and make a play.

This group did everything we asked. They never gave up the entire game. We never rolled over. The kids just kept battling.

The Bearcats have super quick guards that penetrate and like to shoot the three. They gave us some trouble in the second half.

In basketball, you very seldom see a game where there's not a run. They made a run, and then we came back and got a run in that fourth quarter.

I'm very happy to come up here and play four games and come away with the fifth-place trophy.
