We shot the ball a lot better tonight. We were 16 for 34, that's about 50 percent and we went 15 of 26 at the line. You can't give them 20 offensive rebounds. They're just so strong and so physical.
More Quotes from Don Allen:
At that point, everybody was focused. We climbed a hill and got back into the game. We cut it down to one quarter of basketball.Don Allen
We didn't want to go that kind of pace. An 80-point basketball game was not one that we were going to win and we couldn't figure out how to slow it down.
Don Allen
We had chances. Even at nine points we come out and throw the ball away three or four straight times to start the third quarter. We just got into force mode a little early and when you don't take care of the basketball, nothing good is going to happen.
Don Allen
Bottom line is by halftime we were tied there and they hit a couple buckets right before half. They jumped on us in a hurry and that's the biggest concern with them. They come out and you look at what they do to teams, they have gigantic first quarters and have them in such a hole that they don't ever recover. But we did a good job of regrouping and responding. I knew if we'd get close there at the half we had a shot to stay with it. You can't give up (that many) points in the first half. That's not the kind of score we wanted.
Don Allen
In the first half, we just didn't play hard enough. That's the bottom line. We've managed to regroup a few times in the locker room (all season).
