"We dug ourselves in a hole by putting ourselves down to that big of a deficit. It really hurt us."
"When we play tenacious defense we give ourselves a chance."
"It's no fun at all. It's all great and everything that we came back like that, but it really doesn't mean anything. We can't finish it off like this. We've got to really learn how to finish games off. And I think we will, we've just got to come back tomorrow and work hard for our next game. We've got to figure some stuff out and learn how to finish games off."
"I can't pinpoint it. When we set our minds on playing hard defense, we usually do all right. Our concentration maybe wasn't there for defense."
"This is like déjà vu. Playing Tuesday's game. We got down, we came back, we had a chance to win, maybe in regulation, we didn't. they were able to make the plays to win the basketball game. I thought Steven Wright and Martin Samarco were tremendous in the second half nd I thought we got a lot of really good play from Brian Moten on the defensive end. The defense was going to be the key, we were going to have to guard somebody in the second half."
"Martin lost a little patience, but when you're going like he's going, and made what he's made, it's hard to sit thre and say hey don't shoot the ball. We're back in the game because Martin and Steven decided to go make shots and go make plays. They would like to have that back, I would like to have that back, but you don't do that."
"We made a big deal about that (defending the home floor), and we didn't get it done, we haven't gotten it done. It's unfortunate because I think our team has played well enough to get certain things done. I'd like to play better and win on your home court but we just haven't done it, so you just keep working on it."
"You evaluate everything that you're doing when you're not winning, but what do you do? You're losing these games, three, five, overtime, whatever it is, you're obviously close, but close doesn't really get it done."
Akron Head Coach Keith Dambrot
"We hurt them bad defensively early, we got the ball into Romeo uncontested, made a lot of plays, and then they just buoyed us up and we couldn't get anything going."
"They play just like their coach - tough."
