Marshall Head Coach Matt Daniel
Opening Statement
I thought it was the tale of two halves, I didn't think that we executed the game plan. I thought we executed the game plan in the first half, and then we didn't in the second half. We didn't have much punch in the second half and I don't know what to attribute that to. I thought we played really hard, clearly with our numbers we have a lot of our kids playing a lot of minutes, but I thought we battled. I don't know if fatigue took a part in our defense or what. They shot 25 free throws and we shot 12. That's an eight-point difference and it was a 12-point game so that's an impressive number, but they hurt us on the glass too. We couldn't even get anything going from the outside clearly. With this young lady here to my right (AJ Johnson), I thought we played hard we just didn't have it cooking.

On playing from behind:
Coach told us a couple days ago that when things don't go our way on defense, everybody tends to say "Oh, I'm going get a bucket for us" instead of "We're going to get a good shot". I just think that we need to move the ball a little bit more when we aren't up.
