Postgame Quotes

Head Coach Bill Carmody

Opening statement...
"I felt the key was that Luka [Mirkovic] played really good defense in the second half on [Kenny] Lawson because in the first half he [Lawson] dominated play. Even though we were scoring, Johnny [Shurna] was doing nicely attacking the rim, Michael Thompson was going to the basket, but it just felt like they were controlling things even though we had the lead. In the second half, I thought we defended very well but we turned the ball over a lot. I told Luka at halftime that it is very hard to play so bad in the first half, as he did, and then play well in the second half but he did it. He came through in a nice way. He took away their center position in terms of scoring."

On Michael Thompson...
"He played a good game. He wasn't just a floor general, he was attacking the rim."
