Shawn Shreffler Quotations

We have played some great teams and faired well against some great teams. We're not looking at this as a first-time thing for some of the younger kids, but just look at it as another game against a great basketball team.

Certainly that's a little bit of a concern. We went back to going over the basic things at practice and then started working on getting back to how we want to play against them.

I feel very badly because we came out in the second half and created the tempo we wanted to create. The effort was tremendous and for most of the third and fourth quarter our defense was outstanding, creating turnovers and getting transition scores.

When you get into differences in styles like this, one team wants to impose their style of play over the other. The team that does that usually wins.

We just needed to relax. If you want to make an excuse, the only excuse you can make is we haven't been in this situation very much during the year. But typically in that situation, we've been able to take care of the ball and get fouled and get to the line and make the shots.
