Hardy:
Difference in 2nd half was more energy and better execution
We turned down good shots for better shots
Played better defense:
Draine:
Huge honor to be 100 point scorer. USM means so much to me.
We need to come out early like we did in 2nd half. Sometimes that transitions to defensive end in 1st half.
This team's identity to get teams out of their comfort zone and outrebound teams and we can beat anyone.
Coach Ladner:
Loyola is a good team and we needed to get back up to speed for today's game. The 1st half was tough, 2nd half our depth wore on them a bit, and Draine got on track in the 2nd half.
Very odd experience to play my son. Not something I would want to have every year.
We were slow in the first half, we had an extended off period. We really got going in the 2nd half.
Usually we would play 13 non league games, this year we only got 7.
Got to see some glimpses from Pinkney, he is finally getting back to full speed.
Draine came here when it wasn't cool to come here. He has stayed when people who were looking. That speaks to his character.
The game is starting to slow down for Artur, and he can play multiple positions. He is playing with a dislocated kneecap since last year, incredible considering how he has played.
This conference schedule will be tough. Prepare for Friday's game and worry about Saturday after that. That is the only way I know to coach against same team 2 nights on a row.
Pink is a tall guy who can shoot but he can score at the 3 levels. He can play at the 3, foul line, and in the post.
UTEP is a team that will compete for a CUSA Champ. They will be a good measuring stick for us.
