Dan Dakich UWGB Post Game Quotes

On shooting 63.6 percent in the first half and being tied
"It was a difficult thing for us despite shooting so well. When you make 12 turnovers (in the first half) and give up offensive rebounds, there is a lot more to it than shooting."

"We have a competitive team. We have a team that battles really hard and doesn't quit and works pretty well with each other."

"I think physically this is the best team we have played."

"We came here, I thought we had a great time and our kids got to play for a championship. We just came up a little bit short."

"We got it back to one and we had a shot, but unfortunately we didn't get the stop we needed."

On UWGB extending the lead to nine point
"There was one stretch where we had four guards in there that I thought we were stagnant offensively. I still need to watch the film to see what we were doing defensively, but it seemed everyone was cutting, but no one was screening when we had the ball. That was my fault. Then we put Marc Larson in during the last stretch of the game and Samarco got a couple of good looks and we got it back to a one-point game with a minute to go."

On Brian Moten
"Brian is a guy who has been doing every thing I ask and more. To be perfectly honest with you, he is getting really good. He is doing everything well, including academically. He came in here as a non-qualifier and now he's a B student. In basketball, he's cutting and doing everything hard in practice."

On the three-point shot by UWGB's Ryan Evanochko
"Evanochko has been a tough kid his whole life. His shot was the key to the game. I remember recruiting him many years ago and it didn't surprise me that he lifted it up and made the shot. He made a big play. I know his high school coach and I know him and he's probably earned everything he gets."
