34 Quotes by Joe Shoemaker

We knew they weren't extremely deep, and we have been all year long. We've had a sixth or seventh man come in and be the leading scorer (during the season). Our guys off the bench tonight came in and defended well and ran the floor, and I believe that really helped us to stay fresh at the end.

Obviously, that's the very worst performance we've had shooting all year.

I'd contribute that to our bench. Our bench did a good job, as it had all season. That helped us be fresher at the end.

I always knew he could score, but he improved other aspects of game as the season went along. And he really improved his passing. He would see a defense geared to stop him, and he did a good job of not forcing the shot and found open guys.

He had a great game. He hit a couple of shots outside that got his confidence going, and our guys did a good job recognizing when he was hot.

He got up and down the floor. He got some open looks in transition. He really excels in the game in transition. He didn't play very well the last game and he wanted to play a little bit better tonight.

He got out in transition, got some easy buckets. He moved well on offense. He played a good game against Dexter Friday night, so he's starting to shoot the ball a little bit better for us.

We can come out and win third. Right now you may not think of it as much, but down the road you'll see it as a positive. It will be a test of character playing that game.

James did a little bit better job in the second half of going down to the low block and trying to play down there. Jeremy's senior leadership, he did a good job in the second half of coming out a little bit more ready to play.
