34 Quotes by Andy Palmer

We felt like we could play a lot better second half. We were up three, so we felt pretty good about where we were. We've been a second-half team in the last four, five or six games. We've always been able to make a push, and were able to do it again.

We're getting better there, and that's encouraging. Early in the year, we weren't very good. Last week helped us when you have to play teams like you do down at (the) Benton (Tournament). I think we're understanding a little better what we need to do defensively.

I would have liked him to have put it up a few more times, but they also did a good job of defending him in the second half. He got us back in it in the first half.

We told them our conditioning was going to be the difference in the second half. We felt like (Brock) was tired at halftime. Nick (Snider) was wearing on him.

We told the kids at the beginning of the year that our main goal was to win more games than we did last year.

He's by far the quickest guard we've faced this year, without a doubt. That was one of our weak spots defensively was guarding off the dribble. We had trouble with it early in the year. We thought we done a better job the second half.

It basically comes down to us defending and rebounding and not letting them have second opportunities. That's been the key for us. When we rebound, we usually have ... success.

I thought when they made that little run there in the third quarter, we stood around. We weren't as active in our zone and we let (Rudy) catch it, where the first half we didn't let him catch it.

I thought that last one of his looked good. He had the responsibility on top of that zone and that's a lot of work, but I'm glad to see him play well.
