Greensboro, N.C. | Fleming Gymnasium
Head Coach Jim Foster
Thoughts on the game:
"They were a hungry basketball team. The effort things, balls on the floor, offensive rebounds by them, they outworked us in my opinion."
On being more aggressively, offensively:
"Good teams figure it out. Good teams blend together. We have some reluctant players out there, offensively. When you work so hard to come up with a quality shot and you get to a spot where you have a quality shot, you have to take it. We have some players who won't pull the trigger when they need to."
On the defensive effort:
"We had a couple of people they isolated one-on-one and you have to do a better job of making the shot hard. We have the tendency to think – well, Jas will get the rebound. You know what? Jas can't get every rebound.
"When you play a team that does not shoot a lot of threes, and they bring in players who are not going to shoot any threes, you have to understand that the other players are going to the hole to find a rebound. You have to find a way to get your body in front of them."
Final thoughts:Â
"I give them the credit. We were in charge of our situation and we could have finished undisputed in first. Now we have to scramble and get ourselves ready for Western Carolina. We need to get a lot tougher between the ears."Â
