Rob Maloney Quotes (3 Quotes)

I told the guys a little while ago that I hope we learned a lesson tonight. That's the kind of effort we're going to get from our opponent every night in the state playoffs, and we've got to be ready to match it and exceed it. To be quite honest, South Central deserved this win tonight. They out-hustled us. When you work that hard, things go your way. They made a play, and my hat's off to them.

I was very impressed with the effort our guys gave. We were able to keep them on the outside on the perimeter. That was our big goal tonight to frustrate their shooters. We knew if we could do that and do a good job of boxing out, we'd be in good shape.

The first quarter we got a little too excited. We didn't execute and we called a timeout. We really talked about it at halftime to really focus and execute. We knew our press offense could work against them. It was just a matter of getting out there and doing it. When the guys settled down it worked beautifully.
