2025-26 Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Game 11 vs. #21 Auburn | December 13, 2025
State Farm Arena | Atlanta, Ga.
Â
Dan Earl, Head Coach
Opening thoughts after 92-78 defeat to #21 Auburn.
"There's a lot to work on still for us. We have to keep feeling each other out and we have some challenges with injuries, but you know, I hope that our guys don't look at this and be overly satisfied. If you want to be a really good basketball team, you can't be like, oh, we stayed close the whole time. That's just not a good enough mindset to be a really good basketball team, you have to be upset that we didn't figure out how to make it even more interesting, or winning this game. So again, I'm proud of the guys fight tonight and the mindset to head in the right direction, we'll get back to work."
On entering this game so shorthanded due to injuries.Â
"I was proud of the guys who stepped up and really helped each other out tonight. Guys like
Tate Darner, who also went down today, but guys like
Houston Holland who played really meaningful minutes in an atmosphere like this.
Brennan Watkins is another name I'll mention in this regard. I was just really proud of the next man mentality and how they competed within the fight."
Jordan Frison, G, Jr.
On playing with the tough mindset.
"It's just having that mentality, the mentality of knowing we're not going to back down to anybody, or be scared and worry. It's about always playing with that strength and hard-nosed mindset. We just want to go out there, play hard, and leave it all out there, and then from then whatever happens, happens."
