Coach Speak
"Overall, I thought we were a little better defensively in the second half. We went to a man (defense) and played a little better. And we started pushing the ball a little more in the third quarter and getting some good looks. We couldn't make 3's, so we had to push it up the floor and make some layups." — West Point's John Welborn
