Quotes by Kevin Borseth
I don't know if we've done what we hoped this year, but I know that our players have played extremely hard all year. They never left anything on the court, and I know they won't in this game.
They were organized. They obviously practice hard, so it was good to give them opportunities. The more we put them in there, the more we give them a chance to know what we're trying to accomplish.
That's probably the worst we've taken care of the ball in a couple of years. I was pretty disappointed in that. It's a good thing we turned them over equally.
It's pretty exciting to get the chance to finish the season on a winning note. And we have a chance, so that's a plus. We didn't play our best against Illinois-Chicago (in the Horizon League tournament), and this gives us a chance to redeem ourselves.
They had to play well to beat us. That was the position we wanted to put them in, and they played well and made the shots they had to make.
We got really good looks and our rhythm was better. It was a good shooting night for us, but we needed it.
We got slapped in the face four or five times. That makes it a little tough to play, too. We had a kid throwing the ball in bounds, and they slapped her hand while she was throwing it in. They were very physical, and we couldn't get into anything.
