28 Quotes by Stan Joplin

We better get used to it, because I think with this team, this is the way it's going to be.

We wanted to use all of it, to shoot the ball with very little time left so that the worst thing that could happen was overtime.

Shane has size, strength, he can shoot from the outside, he can post up. It's nice to have a player his size who can shoot it form the outside.

Needless to say, we needed this one bad. We needed a confidence builder.

He's a great shooter and we wanted to make him work for everything. So we always had fresh guys on him - Justin, Sammy Villegas, Ridley Johnson, Jonathan Amos, probably some others, too. They did a good job. I thought we got most of the loose balls and hustle points.

He's been taking what the defense is giving him, and it's helped him that we're getting the ball into the post and swinging the ball. If we can continue to play that way, it's really going to help him.

I thought we took them out of their offense. We got our energy from defense, which isn't always the case. For a long stretch in the first half we rebounded well and ran well and we got a pretty good flow going.

I thought our defense was pretty good in the first half except we fouled too much. I thought we were in control of the game for the most part. We wanted to go inside and we did that with Tino having a good night down low.

I think both teams were playing pretty good defense. Neither team was giving ground on any possession. Defensively, this might have been the best we've played for 40 minutes. We had some breakdowns, sure, but there was no lack of effort.
