“I think our guys really adapted well in the third quarter. We knew we'd beaten Independence pretty badly the first game, and we knew that wouldn't be the case this time. Over the next two weeks, the team that usually adjusts will be the team that wins.”
Chris Rider
“I think it's pretty clear now we are in a Fed-induced slowdown for the third quarter, so I'm sure those [positive] numbers are going to come down.”
Chuck Hill
“The third quarter all year has been our strongest quarter. We knew it was our strongest quarter, and we were ready for it.”
Robert Rexroade
“Every night we play we think the third quarter is our quarter. We just had to get into the flow of the game in the second half.”
Chris Barber
“We knew the third quarter was the quarter that was going to decide if we'll win the game. We came out relaxed and loafing a little bit.”
Grover Battle
“We played hard for all of the first half and part of the third quarter. But I think we let down after that. I just think they didn't try as hard as they had after that point.”
Dan Starkey
“They were playing us pretty even until the third quarter, but that's when our conditioning kicked in. We have our good days and our bad days with stopping penetration, but tonight we did a really good job.”
