4 Quotes by Shannon Maurice

I think both teams did what they were supposed to do. They played good man defense, and we had our defensive scheme we worked on.

We wanted to control the tempo of the game. We knew we couldn't go half court with them. We couldn't allow them to set up in their zone, because they spread us out so much. If we don't look in the middle, then we don't get our jump shots from outside.

It's a positive step to get a home game, and it goes back to, you gotta play who they give you. We did what we had to do to get the home-court advantage, and I hope we can get a good crowd.

I like how (we) stepped up. It was about respect. I think sometimes teams out here don't get the respect the Orange County teams do. (We) stepped out on the floor and went baseline to baseline with the No. 5 team in II-A.
