14 Quotes by Doug Foote

I credit our kids. We played really well at Otterbein and against Heidelberg and Muskingum but that 31/2-hour trip to Ohio Northern (last Saturday) really busted us.

Grove City is very structured. They run a 2-1-2 set offense. They pass, pass, and pass.

We've got to make some free throws. We've shot ourselves in the foot time and time again at the foul line. We're getting 30 free throws per game. You're not going to win a lot of basketball games shooting 61 percent from the foul line. We've got to shoot it better in every phase.

We lost the game because we lost our focus on defense at critical times and turned it over on offense.

Our biggest problem when you look at this team is 15 out of 19 kids are freshmen and sophomores. We have no seniors so we have no great senior leadership.

When you don't have a lot of low-post scoring, you've got to hit some shots (elsewhere), particularly our strength (the trey).

We've played a brutal schedule and we've played seven of nine games on the road, so getting some home games will be nice.

We changed our offense a little. It's a motion offense. It's penetration and pitch that we implemented to try and get fouled a little bit. We try to get the ball down inside to Rucker and run through him some stuff so he can kick it back out. He can score inside and they have to double-team him.

No matter how good or bad defensively you are, you've got to score. It didn't look like it but we played pretty good defensively. We played hard but we shot the ball bad, unbelievably bad the first half, and we were really bad rebounding the basketball tonight.
