Tim Pease Time Quotations

We wanted to chop up those last 16 seconds with some fouls. We felt Gabe (Landau) got one at the time line, but it wasn't called. So (Henderson) penetrated and got right down the lane.

You have to be able to make good plays on just about every possession. They don't get rattled. So many times this season they've knocked teams out in the first quarter. Teams have to work so hard to recover from that. By the time they do that, the game's over. Those are things we have to guard against. We've done an admirable job of that the first two times, but it wasn't enough, plain and simple.

Every time I looked at the scoreboard even after a series of defensive stops we were always down by 10 points. Batavia just has so much depth, and they did an excellent job of keeping us at arm's length all night.

Coming into this season, I certainly thought that we were going to be relying on our seniors for both leadership and direction on and off the court. Every time I was trying to provide a push for them, they always responded and met the challenges we gave them.

The boys put so much time and energy and effort into that game. To have it not go your way, it does take some time to come back and try to pick up the pieces. We feel that we've done that to the best of our ability.
