Head Coach Will Wade
Thoughts on the game
“That was just a total breakdown. It was embarrassing. We didn't come to play. We weren't ready and that is on me. I did a poor job preparing us, and we didn't get the job done today. It was bad on every account. We gave up a boat-load of points in the second half, and we were disjointed. That was my fault.”
On the play of Kennesaw State's Yonel Brown
“We couldn't guard him and we couldn't guard any of them. They beat us off the bounce. We've been better at guarding off the bounce in the last couple of games, but we weren't today and it cost us.”
Thoughts on the loss of momentum
“We had it tied at half time. We were lucky to be tied at point as poorly as we were playing. We let it get out of hand in the second half. We went under ball screens and gave up threes. We couldn't rebound the ball. It was a total-system breakdown.”
Thoughts on Chattanooga's mistakes
“We didn't finish simple plays. We had simple plays on the rim and couldn't finish them for whatever reason. We were out-classed in every way. We gave up 51 second-half points. That's embarrassing.”
On preparing for Georgia on Tuesday
“If we can't compete with Kennesaw State, my goodness. We better start worrying about ourselves before we start worrying about Georgia. We were supposed to have tomorrow off, but right now I don't know. We might practice tomorrow. I have to think about it, and I have to apologize to our fans. I know we had a few fans come down today and I apologize. It was just a poor game on our part.”
Casey Jones, guard, junior
Thoughts on the game
“It was very disappointing. We came out here, tried to be focused and get after it, but it didn't turn out the way we wanted to. We couldn't guard the ball like we had in the last couple of games. It came back to bite us. All of the fouling and letting their point guard get past us a lot came back to get us, and we couldn't quite close it in the end.”
Thoughts on Kennesaw State
“Kennesaw State did a really good job. They really cut our momentum. We thought we had something going every time, but they came back every time. Brown got to the basket a lot and really killed our momentum.”
On difficulty scoring
“It was tough. That's a three zone and it kept us out of the lanes for the most part. It was hard trying to get in there and the points weren't falling. It's hard to score when your points aren't falling and you can't get to the rim.”
