“We were competitive for three full quarters. However, Mac Whittington fouled out one minute into the fourth quarter, which made a huge difference in Richfield's ability to attack the basket. We just didn't have the presence in the lane.”
Mike Wade
“This team played lights out for three quarters, but there was always one quarter of almost every game where it wasn't so good. But I have to say that we had a lot of fun and I was impressed at how they played as a team.”
Kyle Gordon
“We played three great quarters and forgot to finish the fourth quarter, and on Monday we turned in our uniforms.”
Eric Boyle
“Twice (late in the fourth quarter), we had one-and-ones, and we got the rebounds. That's big. We get that rebound, there goes another 10 seconds off the clock.”
Kip Rhoten
“If we played the first two or three quarters like we played the last five minutes of that ballgame, it would have been a different outcome. We put that on ourselves, to be in a situation like that, to be down and wait for the last minutes to try to fight back and play with that intensity.”
Tracy McGrady
“Our fourth quarter was not as strong as we'd hoped, even though it was one of our best fourth quarters ever.”
Mike Wilson
“Their two big scorers got loose the final three minutes of the third quarter. But before that, we played very well. Our man press was effective for a while and we did a great job of rebounding.”
