Postgame Quotes

Dan Earl, Head Coach
Overall thoughts after 71-62 loss at The Citadel.
"Yeah, it was certainly disappointing. That was really hard to take, that 14-0 run at that point. They were more physical and everything. I'm more bothered about how we played through it. We took turns not playing the right way, not paying attention to the scouting report, taking ill-advised shots, they took turns. I've been worried about this for too long. As hard as this for me to say, we got what we deserved. That's all credit to The Citadel. They were stronger, quicker to the ball, they played their tails off. It was upsetting throughout and especially the last three minutes."
 
On what led to late The Citadel run.
"It's one of those things, you go over this, but they were playing throughout, and we didn't expect anything different. Maybe our guys got complacent and were surprised to be in a game late. Then it gets close, and you get tight, then you start doing things that are not within our offense. Then they come down with the crowd behind them, the momentum runs the wrong way. Credit to The Citadel, they played hard."
 
On focusing on the little things.
"It was right there. You try to explain to the guys, little things happen like dribbling off your foot or losing the ball, that's not the end of the world. It's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world. Some stuff is going to happen like that. Then you see later, we take a step-back three because we're tight in a close game down the stretch. You have to be solid and do the right things, regardless of the status of the game. You have to play the right way offensively and defensively and good things will happen."
