Postgame Quotes
Â
Dan Earl, Head Coach
Opening statement after 82-63 win over The Citadel.
"It was a great win for us. It's nice to get back on the winning track, it's good for the guys. They needed that. I thought it was an overall good team effort. We forced 21 turnovers which is always a good thing. We were able to get stops and make shots on the other end. We were able to get out in transition and get some easy buckets. I'm proud of the guys for their effort tonight."
Â
On Jamal Johnson's career performance.
"He had a tough outing at Western Carolina. It was just one of those days where shots weren't going in. We talked to him a little bit and let him know we believe in him, and he knows that. It was great to see him respond with this kind of outing. He was making shots and was really active on the defensive end."
Â
On the effort to break away in the second half.
"Defensively, I thought we did an even better job. Knowing personnel was going to be the key in this game. They have a lot of guys who can shoot and get downhill. You have to know who you are guarding and guard them accordingly. I thought that was a big part of it, but making shots really helps everything."
Â
Jamal Johnson, Gr.-G
On the career night.
"I struggled a lot against Western, so I wanted to come out and be energized. Try to get some steals, play good defense, and it just happened the ball came around to me and I made some shots. I really just wanted to play with energy to try and get a win."
