Quotes by Scott Minnig

“Three games in five days is a lot to ask out of these kids and I think this was a combination of that, their good defense and us being a little fatigued.”

“This is a good win. Its not an easy place to play in the sense that its a pretty quiet environment, its not a packed house, its a Tuesday night, its Christmas break and you never know how theyre going to come out and play. These guys, every night, Ive never seen them not ready to play in the seven games weve had.”

“As a team going into this game we were shooting 52 percent at the line and we still missed some foul shots that weve got to knock in. I told the guys this week weve got to shoot better than weve been shooting or else its going to come back and get us. I think they started to see that a little bit and panicked a little bit.”

“They were playing aggressive. I dont know if they were intentionally fouling us, but if I was playing us I would put us at the line, too, with the way weve been shooting. I think they were trying to get steals and trying to be aggressive.”

“Thats what a good team does, they make their free throws down the stretch and they did that. Thats a strategy you use when your down at the end and you hope and pray they miss their foul shots and they didnt. Thats what good teams do, they make them.”

“Guys just focused a little more, we executed a little bit better and we got the ball inside where we needed to. We didnt do anything special to have those runs other than we turned up our defense a little bit and tried to get stops. We were a little more focused offensively and made sure we got good scores.”

“We wanted to go get the basketball and we really crashed the offensive boards with a little more passion. Defensively we tried to make sure we got a body on somebody and try to get the basketball.”

“Well take them one at a time. Were focusing on Kenton, its a league game. We need to take care of business there and well worry about Saturday come Saturday morning. Were just going to take it one game at a time.”

“Theyve got pretty good inside play. Sherman is a really nice post player for a freshman and he can finish with the basketball when he gets it inside.”

“We hit a major drought and I give a lot of credit to their defense. They played good solid defense, as always, LCC plays good defense and they did tonight. Its hard to overcome. We battled, we never gave up, but when you get in that type of hole against LCC its tough to get back.”
