30 Quotes by Orlando Early

What a tough kid. He did not play with any outer emotion in the first half, but came out in the second half and played with all his heart.

This one was a tough one to take. We did not shoot the ball well, but still ended up shooting better than they did. We did all the little things to win, but made some critical mistakes down the stretch. Now, we just have to keep telling our guys to hold their heads high and get ready for Nicholls State on Saturday.

Texas State has not won a league game yet but are hungry for their first. They play very hard as a team, so we will have to come out ready to compete.

Southeastern has a similar record to us, but start two seniors and three juniors. We will have to go down there and be ready for a tough game. Our goal though has to be to keep working hard and try to get better everyday.

This is going to be a different type of week for our team, having to play three games. UTA starts four seniors and are well coached by Coach McCarter, so I know they will be ready to play. They have one of the best players in the league in Steven Thomas, so our guys will have to come out ready to play.

This is a game that is big for our guys. We have to treat this game like our first game in the Southland tournament. We have been working hard to play ULM basketball and in the second half against Lamar, we did that well. Hopefully we will be able to put 40 minutes together tomorrow.

It is unfortunate that we have to sit back and wait to see what happens. We came out tonight and could not get it done. We played hard all night, but did not play tough for 40 minutes, and that is what you have to do to win on the road.

It seemed like we were playing in mud tonight. Unfortunately, the young guys that we rely are used to playing on Tuesday and Friday in high school and just could not find it. Give Stephen F. Austin the credit - they made the plays when they had to.

They come out like a veteran team. They are a good team.
