Coach Odom

“We came out of the box really quick and efficient. We practice hard all week, our kids were ready to get back on the winning ledger.” “Our team will give up offensive boards because our big men block shots well. “Our round of subs didn’t play well in the first half, they played better in the second half. We as a team played better in the second half, which was pleasing.” “We thought we would be able to force turnovers. We are tough to throw over and throw around. As bad as the conditioning is on some of them, it has improved 10% from Alaska.” “Tre’ gets in the saddle and he coasts. We have to g et him to play with urgency. Tarence plays with urgency all the time. Renaldo continues to do things that a good basketball player does.”

Coach Dement “They have a deep team. I thought if we could have hit some open shots early, I thought we could have stayed in it. I thought we had a deer in the headlights look for the first seven minutes, after that we settled down. South Carolina’s length and quickness hurt us a lot tonight.”
