18 Quotes by Jake Krause

We played real well early on. You couldn't ask for a better start.

We knew the first quarter was going to be important. We needed to get a feel (and) we just didn't adjust well to their athleticism. We got ourselves in a big hole and it's tough to climb out of a hole against a team like (Champaign).

We just stressed that the kids had to have more energy. They were a little lackadaisical in the first half.

We weren't playing to our strengths early on, we were playing to our weaknesses. Credit Central. That is a direct result of what they bring to the table.

That's huge. We called a timeout, set up a play and we're able to get three points off that when we were looking for an easy basket.

It's a great credit to the kids. I don't think anybody realistically expected us to win 20 games this season. It's a great testimony to how hard the kids have worked this year, and played together and to our senior leadership.

I told the guys we only have one choice - to rebound back in a good way. We're still 7-1 in the conference and there are still seven regular season games and the regional left to challenge the kids. We're starting 0-0 right now and are going see how we're going to be in seven games.

It's great. These seniors have bought in to what I've brought since day one and this just validates their effort and how hard they've worked to get here. It puts a stamp on the program.

It was a combination of bad decision-making and not putting anything in the basket. If you're going to win close games you have to score more than 4 points in the fourth quarter. The bottom line is we didn't score enough points.
