Eric Sitze Quotes

You know Bernie is going to come out after us. Those Stoddard County team like to play us and they know its Homecoming night, so we can't hang our heads about this one, we've got to get ready to play tomorrow night (tonight). - Eric Sitze

We were leaving him open out there and letting him spot up. He hit a lot of big shots. A lot of them weren't pointblank range -- he hit some 15-footers and a few 3s out there -- so he hit some big shots for them. - Eric Sitze

We let it get a little tight ... We were almost up 20 or 21, I think, and had a few turnovers and missed a few easy shots there, but the kids held their composure and finished it up there at the very end. - Eric Sitze

We just left him open maybe six times the first half and I think he hit five of them. You just have to stick somebody with him, just stay with him constantly, because if he gets an open look at it, he's going to knock it down most of the time. - Eric Sitze

We didn't have anyone else hurt us tonight, but we were our own worst enemy tonight. I thought we played scared tonight. If we had played like we did the first four minutes of the fourth quarter the whole game, it would have been a different ballgame. - Eric Sitze

We did a real good job on him (Bogan) the first half, collapsing on him. The second half they were more in transition, opened the floor up a little bit, so we couldn't do as much with him the second half. He didn't dribble it as much and was able to get it a little deeper in the paint. - Eric Sitze

Tonight I thought our second half was especially good. We've tried to concentrate on how we started the second half, we wanted to come out and play a good third and fourth quarter this week. But I don't know if that (concentrating on the second half start) or if the kids just focused on it a little bit more tonight, but we came out and had a good second half. - Eric Sitze

They came out and got three quick baskets on us. But still I think the turning point was when it was about 45-41 and we had a couple of chances at some rebounds down there - had it in our hands a couple of times - and just couldn't bring it in. I thought that was the big difference in the game right there. - Eric Sitze

That hurt a little bit. Drew (Satterfield) played hard for us tonight. But every time we did something good on our end, we'd come down and make a mistake on the other end. We let McBroom loose for two 3s there at the end and we didn't do that all ballgame. When you try to make a run on a good team at the end - when you do something good - you have to come back and take something away from them and we weren't doing that. - Eric Sitze

Some teams we can press a little better than others when we know we can wear them down a little bit. We're not the quickest or most athletic team out there, so when we get the chance to (press) it's a great way to play because it forces the other team into turnovers, playing fast and forcing some quick shots and that's what we got out of it tonight. - Eric Sitze
