23 Quotes by Lewis Jackson

If we can pick up these two (TSU tonight and Prairie View A&M on Monday) at home, we'll be in much better shape. We've got a lot of the better teams in the conference coming to our place in the second half. We've played well at home. We need to win these games this weekend and build on them.

I don't think we were intimidated. Early on in the game we were just trying to hurry the ball and push the ball to make them run, but I don't think intimidation was a factor.

I think the guys were just a little too excited at the start. We were trying to calm them down in the locker room and they were bouncing all over the place. But they settled down. Andrew hit some big shots for us and really set us off on a run there.

I think this loss just showed that they're more physical and more mature. I told my team we need to keep pushing it, but that's what (Quincy) did. That's what an experienced team does.

It is just a lack of concentration. It has to do with playing with confidence under and around the basket. We just came out flat.

We came out flat in the second half. We came out and committed two costly fouls at the beginning of the half. We just played sluggish.

We've been fighting for the last couple of games to keep these guys focused. We're trying to get them to understand that when you're playing against a team fighting for their playoff lives, they're going to give it everything they've got.

We did what we wanted to do. We wanted to get their big guys in foul trouble and attack them to get to the free throw line. We accomplished that goal, but we just couldn't make a free throw tonight. We just didn't shoot the ball well.

We played with intensity tonight and that's what we've been missing. We've been playing so lackadaisical the last few ball games and we really needed to get past that. This was a good win for us tonight.
