(on dealing with injuries) “DeWayne Russell is our starting point guard. He hasn’t been able to play the This is a brand new season for our team. We had two of our starters out in DeWayne Russell and first two games, and we get him back. We’re a little banged up. Shaq Carr took a hard fall. We’re missing Matt Jackson. Darion Clark, our five man, was hurt right before the game. I didn’t even know if he our four-man. These aren’t excuses, it’s just what we have to do. We knew this was going to be a tough was going to go. We had three guys in our starting lineup that had never played for me before. We game. Penn State -- after losing that first game we knew they were going to come back. They were really were trying to figure each other out. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. I was happy with wanting to go play hard and get that win. I thought we did a really good job in the first half as far as battling. the way we started off. We played well. I thought we played hard and did a good job. For our first We gave up way too many points -- 48. Transition defense, offensive rebounds, turnovers plagued us. But game, obviously I’m not happy with the result, we kind of lost it there. But I thought maybe the first we fought. We have a young team, some new guys, and this is just a learning process. We start off the 12 or 13 minutes we played really good. We are just going to learn about our team as we go along. year with 10 games that are going to be really tough. We play four top-35 teams. We just have to keep our These first 10 games are the hardest stretch. We play four top-30 or top-35 teams with a lot of heads up and keep working as hard as we can and hopefully get healthy. We’re learning about our guys, we guys injured. We had eight scholarship guys dressed today. We just have to keep our heads up and have a lot of new people. I’m disappointed in the loss, but I’m excited about our future this year. We have a keep working. I have to learn about my players and see what they can do.” chance to be pretty good down the line. (on Shaq Carr filling in for DeWayne Russell) “I was happy with Shaq, (but) eight turnovers and (on Penn State’s adjustments defensively against Josh Braun) “They started doing a good job of whiting eight assists -- he’s got to get tighter with the ball. We talked about that and we’ve talked about everything or switching and not letting him come off of screens -- really good at that. And that’s what we that during practice. That’s something he’s going to have to learn. I knew he was a real good pass- expected. Josh has faced all of that before. He just has to do a better job of finding ways to score. He’s er with quickness and a good athlete. He has to learn to finish a little bit better around the basket. usually a little bit better in the post-up area. He’s struggled here a little bit with the size. He’ll figure that But overall, I thought he did really well for his first game, especially filling in for a guy like DeWayne, out. Josh played great. He’s been our MVP and he’s faced all kinds of coverages. As a coach, I’m going to who we missed obviously. I was happy with Shaq, he just has to do a better job with not being so try to get him as many shots as I can but it’s up to him to figure out how they’re playing him and find ways to careless and loose with the basketball. Overall, pretty happy with him.” get good, quality shots. Sometimes that’s going to be putting the ball on the floor and drawing some fouls. This kid is playing on one knee -- he’s had several knee surgeries. He plays 40 minutes. We ask him to do (on Oscar Frayer’s collegiate debut) “Oscar doesn’t play with any fear. I mean, he’s got a long way a lot. Josh is terrific.” to go. But I just told him to be an athlete and fly around and do what he does. He just loves playing basketball, and I think Oscar is going to be a really, really good player for us. I’ve just got to learn (on Penn State’s athleticism in transition) “That’s how we like to play. We like to get out. We have athletes, about him too, and he’s going to be thrown into the fire right away. Playing in this atmosphere for we don’t have a great size. We just have to do a better job of getting back in transition. That’s one of our his first college game, I thought he was really good.” weaknesses. It was at Duke and it was last year too. We have to do a better job of getting back in transition, matching up, and guarding the basketball. Teams that put the ball on the floor and get to the basket -- we have a hard time stopping and then boxing out. We knew that they were going to try to get to the free throw line, break us down in dribbles and then crash the boards. We did a poor job of securing rebounds and turnovers have plagued us.”

Like I have said, you would like to go into the season with some health. It was a great work to get shots but there was no bigger shot than the one right in front of our bench.

He got in the game and he turned it over right away just off a high dribble. I would like to use DeWayne off the ball and use him a little like Josh that is coming off different screens and pin downs. But right now, to be honest, I can’t trust Shaq with the basketball – he turns it over too much, so he needs to get tighter with that. Shaq made some good plays out there but he just needs to get tighter with the basketball. I have to learn what I can do with the two on the floor because they are two of our best players. And with Josh and the two big guys, Keonta and Darion , we are just going to have to see who is playing well and who is playing hard enough to stay in there. One thing I will do is I am going to try and keep Oscar (Frayer) in as much as possible. He is going to be really good and the only way he is going to get good and develop is to play. He is a freshman and I think he has a chance to really good.” ‹ 33 › 2016-17 GAME RECAPS

We just could not buy a basket at the offensively. The second half we really picked it up offensively. For the most part, defensively, we still did beginning. We had some good looks at it, just couldn’t make any. That effected our defense. It wasn’t very pretty good. I thought we got a little lax on the rebounding. Too many offensive rebounds for them. I good. I thought in the second half we came out and played extremely hard and got ourselves back into it. understand that there were a lot of misses, but we just have to get in the mindset that we’re going to box But we just couldn’t make enough shots. With Josh (Braun) not being able to play -- he tried, he played 10 out every play, everybody’s going to do it, and it’s going to be important for 40 minutes. I was very happy, minutes. He just couldn’t go. So that really hurt us. We’re playing a lot of new guys, guys who weren’t here you know, any time you win 70-37 you’re happy. This is a team that was 0-6 but I said that they had played a last year. We’re missing Kenzo (Nudo), Boubacar (Toure), Matt (Jackson), now Josh. We’re going to have really hard schedule, so you don’t know what to expect. I thought our guys came out and gave it the proper a lot of guys stepping in; they’ve got to find their way quickly.

Those plays -- it’s kind of a humiliating play when you get a replace what Josh does. Josh is an all-league player, picked as Player of the Year this year, tremendous dunk like that. Hopefully if you get that kind of dunk, maybe they’ll get out of it and get back to a man-to-man de- shooter. So Fiifi (Aidoo) might have to get it going. Oscar (Frayer) is going to have to get it going. Shaq fense which we love playing against. We’re getting better up against the zone because we’ll see a lot of it during (Carr).

He put himself in the gym this year, worked Duke, Kentucky, nothing was as tough as that environment tonight.

You with the music and the band, so you can’t hear one word in the timeout. They have more students than see how it’s paying off for him in his senior year. It just makes me so happy and proud to see him reap come to one of our games, and we get 22,000. I’m extremely grateful we won, but just really, really the success through all his hard work. And he’s a great kid. Like I said, it’s going to be a sad day when impressed with what you have here.

He just stepped up on an incredible stage and had a great game. He’s got offensive sets. You can’t have a better coach for a point guard because Dan knows how to get him to leave all of the other stuff aside and get back to practice on Monday and keep working. Good things shots and knows what to do. He knows how to roll him and lift. Everything he does is terrific. I’m always will continue to come his way.” happy to see pro guys go into college coaching, because he’s going to build something this whole town (on Pitino entertaining a return trip to GCU one day) “That’s nice to hear. I have the utmost respect is going to be excited about. We don’t usually come out - two-for-ones. We’ve done it once before. I just for him. He had absolutely nothing to gain by coming here and everything to lose. That just doesn’t have so much respect for Dan that I did it. I’m glad I did it because we got more out of this game than happen. It just shows you what kind of person, and as a coach helping a program that is just starting any game we’ve played this season. We had to be tough to win this game.”

Oscar had a terrible first half. Can’t one of those wins that are really ugly. They played really well, did a good job. The good thing is that do that. I mean DeWayne’s going to struggle out here. Everybody is keying on him. He still played well. Still we just found a way to win. We kept battling, which is nice. Keonta had a heck of a game with the 15 played hard. Oscar really picked it up in the second half. Darion was playing really well. He got hurt. I was rebounds, 15 points. Kerwin came in and gave us some good moments.

That’s just not the way it is. getting up a lot of good shots because they’re going to be keying on him. U of A has great length and he That’s just not what shooters do and he’s a heck of a player.

I mean, Louisville we got blown out by 50 (on the team continuing to battle and play hard despite the poor shooting night) “The one thing last year. Kentucky, we got blew out. Indiana, we hung in there but we got beat out. To come here, in these guys do is they play really hard. That’s all I ask for. We’re going to have games like this. We do play this atmosphere, and to lose by ten. To hang in the game and be right there, it says a lot. I said I’m done really hard and I love them for that. I can never fault them for that. They come out there and they battle with the moral victories, but we are taking steps and we are getting better. We expect to come in and and they scrap. They care about winning and they care about each other. You always want more. You we expected to win this game. No matter what. Is it realistic, I don’t know, but our guys expected to want guys to be perfect and complete stuff you do in practice, but that’s not going to happen--these play well and have a chance to win it. We’re not shocked by what we’re doing. It’s a big step from year are college kids, but they do play hard every night.” one, year two, and year three. To come into an environment like this and play that well was good. “

He really couldn’t move so gutty performance by him. The don’t think we got any better. We just have to figure a way to keep winning games. It’s going to be like this message at the beginning of the game was just win. Find a way. Obviously, we don’t have very all year. The next two games are going to be like this. The next three games until we get to conference. The many players and we’re not really good right now. We’ve got to have guys step up. It can’t be conference is really good this year.

Some guys are going to have to step years. So we know we are going to face the zone. We need to do a better job of making baskets. Our up and play better. We just have to find a way to grind out wins, which we did tonight. A win is a guards have to get more aggressive as far as penetrating, not just standing out there looking. Guys win, but guys are just going to have to play better, there’s nothing else to it.” have to step up and play, besides DeWayne. I’ve sang the praise of Oscar, but this is two games in a row (on limiting Alcorn States’ points in transition) “Last year, I told our guys, we really beat them where he hasn’t been ready to play. I just have to figure it out. I don’t know what’s going on.” because we ran and ran. We haven’t really done a lot of that this year. I don’t know if it’s a lack of (on Kerwin Smith) “He has gotten better but he needs to get tougher in there and he needs to get numbers or whatever, but we don’t get out and run. We had Grandy which really ran last year. tough rebounds. He is too relaxed on defense, he lets guys post him up and seal him. He is not strong We had Uros, who when he was in, really ran the floor. Keonta ran the floor. We don’t have guys enough down there and can’t get a tough rebound. Has to get better – like I said he is a redshirt really running the floor now. Our wings aren’t getting out. That hasn’t been a big strength of sophomore, he has been here three years. He needs to get better and do a better job also.” ours, which we want it to be. Our transition defense is usually pretty poor, but tonight we did a (on playing down to the competition) ”It’s just being mentally soft – our guys cannot be mentally soft. better job. Second half, I thought the key was we came out and got some stops. We held them I’m tired of playing up or down to competition. We played Louisville tough here, within nine points. We go to a pretty low percentage. That’s they key when you can’t score. You have to defend, and make to a tough U of A crowd. We play a great team in U of A, lose by 10 on the road, where we were down 44- sure they don’t score.” 40. Then we play this team where we play extremely, but they’re less talented. We should come out here (on managing turnovers and getting to the free throw line) “A lot of free throws. We and beat them by 30. We just continue to play down or play up and that is just a sign of mental weakness. usually do a pretty good job with the turnovers. It’s just that we’re playing really shorthanded. I don’t like it. I have to keep getting on our guys, and I’ll go home tonight and I’ll feel bad because I yelled DeWayne, when he went out with the ankle, it really limits his ability to move. There is nobody and screamed. We want to be a top-20 team and top-20 teams don’t that. I’ve said it from day one, if we’re else on our team right now that can make baskets, so DeWayne is going to be the one that going to be a top-20 team, then we have to have that mentality. If guys can’t take it, then they can’t take it, they’re keying on. We found a way to win, so that’s all that really matters.” but I’m never going to let up on them. It’s not who I am and it’s not satisfying to come out here like that.” (on how DeWayne Russell will recover from the ankle with a game just two days away) (on if it affected the team having Darion Clark out this game) “It didn’t affect us. Keonta just moved to the “Yeah, we’ll give him tomorrow off--give everybody tomorrow off--he’ll have to ice it and sit in five and he is a true five anyway. Gerard moved to the four where he’s played half the year anyway and he the cold tub, then strap it on on Thursday and see what we’ve got.” played there a lot last year. Fiifi played the same position. Oscar played the same position. DeWayne played the same position, so there is no excuse. Darion gives us a little toughness down there for rebounding and being able to be down there defensively, but like I said, guys have to step up. Shaq has to be one of those guys.”

I wanted to get out of the zone earlier but Shaq to move Gerard back to the three because he does do a lot of things for us defensively and he’s had three fouls, four fouls. DeWayne had three or four fouls. Keonta had fouls. Everybody had fouls, smart, a good passer, very competitive which I love. I just decided to go big. Keonta in there. so I just tried to stay in the zone a little longer in the zone than I wanted to, but if you’re playing that Kerwin has been practicing really well and working hard.

We never really play well here. It’s rebounding. Our two biggest concerns -- handling the press, which I thought we did a pretty good job of, and a hard road trip. It’s a good to bounce back.

He had some good looks in the first half, but he wasn’t making any of them. was good, then Josh 11-for-11 from the line and made a big three down the stretch.” Like I said, we got to the free throw line -- I think one time we were 1-for-11. We’re getting good shots (on Keonta Vernon recording a career-high 20 points) “Keonta is good, sometimes he falls in love and throwing to Kerwin--mismatches. Throwing it into Darion--mismatches. We get in and they get with that jump shot, he’s such an athletic kid he can drive around those guys and he’s got to continue fouled and you’re 1-for-11. That’s a turnover. We’re getting good shots. Josh didn’t shoot the ball well. to do that. He played well. Good for him. He just needs to find a way to stay out of foul trouble.” Then we came out in the second half and we made some threes, we got some stops, we got to push it a little bit. You can’t run when you don’t get stops and don’t get any rebounds. We pushed it right (on Gerard Martin connecting on a few 3-pointers in the second half) “He is such a great there and then we started giving up.” defensive player. If he wasn’t a good defensive player he would never play. You talk about his offense and he’s not very good. Tonight, he hit some big threes and an and-1 getting to the (on chances to win game) “This is a really good team, New Mexico State. We knew it was going to be a basket. He’s got to continue to try to get better. He’s always going to be a real good defensive tough game. I thought it’d come down to the last few minutes. It could’ve. We cut it to two. We weathered player. He’s so wide open on those threes. He made two in a row at New Mexico State, first-half the storm, we knew they were going to come out and punch us. This is a good place to play.

Because of that, we got outrebounded 40-26.” (on getting to the free throw line 41 times) “They play traps and run and jumps. Instead of just (on allowing 16 second-chance points) “Well you’re never going to win a game when you get living with jump shots, you have to drive to the basket, and that’s what we did. We were very outrebounded 40-26. I mean we shot 62 percent in the second half. 62 percent. We shot 50 aggressive driving to the basket and guys go to the free throw line. Josh is always a guy that percent from the free throw line. If you get outrebounded 40-26 and have five offensive rebounds and they have 15, it ain’t going to work. That’s the game. That’s the way it is and, like I said, these can get to the line. DeWayne shoots 6-for-10; he’s got to become a better free throw shooter. guys have to -- I think they want to play well.

Our guards, Josh and DeWayne, they usually make them and that makes us a better team.” (on improving fundamentals before Saturday’s game at UTRGV) “We have to get there. They’re going to be a run, jump, press, helter-skelter, junk-up-the-game, get-after-you team. They have shooters that (on controlling offensive boards) “We just talked about rebounding. We talked about us, first, can shoot threes. It’s going to be a tough game. It’s always tough there. We’ve never played well there. Last boxing them out because they are tied with New Mexico State as far as offensive rebounds and year I think we were down 20 at half and found a way to win. It’ll be another nail-biter unless they blow us they got 15 again tonight. Ten of them were from two guys. Dixon had six and Hoffman had four, out by 20. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Our guys are going to have to -- it’s a short turnaround, so we have to continue to get better with that. Anytime a team runs, and presses and traps, we’re going to watch the film tonight of the game. We’ll study the film all day tomorrow. God willing, you don’t have any box-out responsibilities and so our guys have to crash the boards and that’s we get in there at a decent hour. Who knows.

They put in a lot of work and are good kids. I’m really happy for those two.” Just shoot it. It’s going to go in. Don’t worry about it.” He’s been that type of player ever since he’s been there. He’s one of those guys that surprises you when he misses two free throws (on looking ahead to Seattle U on Saturday) “I’ve been looking at them all day today. They play but he came back and made the next two, which was great. This was just a gutsy win for our that 3-2 zone and put the big guys down low. Nothing we’re not used to. We got beat last year after guys. It didn’t look good. It was a battle. They played really well, but we just found a way to we were on a little bit of roll. Then we went into Seattle and we were able to beat them. We’re win, which was big.

DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: (on a tough loss after being up 12 at halftime) “We didn’t come out ready to play. At (on what he told the team at halftime) “I asked them if I had any players and I asked them if that halftime, I said, ‘We’re up 12. We’ve got to come out and win the first four minutes. They was how we were going to go out. We give up a 12-point lead at UMKC. We got embarrassed go on a 17-4 run. We turned the ball over. We have 22 turnovers. Are you kidding me? We there--we don’t play well--and then came out and had that kind of a first half. If that’s what had too many dumb fouls. They shot 28 free throws in the second half. I preach about we’ve got in this locker room, let me know. Show me the players. If you guys are players and fouling every day in practice. Guys drive to the basket and we reach in and foul. We reach you take a punch, are you going to lay down? That’s good for me to know. They came out and and we don’t move our feet. We came out and we weren’t ready to play. They scored 53 played.” points in the second half.” (on continually switching up his lineup in the first half) “Yeah, it was terrible. Josh couldn’t (on being forced to play a small lineup with the struggles of the team and Gerard make a shot. Nobody could make a shot. The only guy that was playing worth a darn in the Martin having to play down low) “It had nothing to do with Gerard playing underneath. first half was DeWayne. So I tried guys--Kenzo came in shooting there. I think we probably He did a great job on Boyd in the first half. Then they come out and start getting to the shot four or five airballs in that first half. Guys not making any baskets, they are scoring [on free throw line because we’re reaching. Shaq comes in a fouls him 25 feet from the us] at will. So I was just trying different things. So I just asked, ‘Who wants to play?’ Of course, basket. They didn’t really hurt us with any post ups or anything. It was just stupid stuff at halftime, everyone says, ‘I want to play.’ Well then prove it. Josh got going a little bit--we by fouling when guys are making moves to the basket. Instead of making them finish, we got him some baskets. Keonta was really good, 24 and 15. Oscar, 12 rebounds, 12 points. Some reach in and foul. Then we turn the ball over.” flashes, but the injuries are really hurting us. We miss Matt (Jackson). We miss guys like that, (on how the team bounces back before Chicago State on Saturday) “They have to take glue guys, who can step in and play really smart and move the ball.” ownership. The coaches can’t want it more than they do. They have to take ownership (on recording 12 turnovers and 21 assists) “Yeah, we’ve had a really hard time with turnovers of it and they keep making stupid mistakes. I don’t know what to tell you. We had a good on the road. I still thought we were kind of bad at the beginning of the first half, and then did a first half and start off fine. We talk about coming out and putting the game away in the better job of taking care of the ball. When the ball is in DeWayne’s hands, we tend to not turn it first four minutes of the second half and they go on a 17-4. They came out and we weren’t over as much. Sometimes he gives it up too much when he’s not getting trapped. He’s just go ready to play.” to force traps and then give it up to somebody. That was better rebounding-wise. Keonta was huge. He’s got to work on his free throws, but it was just a gutty win. Josh, like I said, hasn’t been playing well, but he really stepped up in that second half and had some big baskets for us.” (on Braun’s struggles as of late) “It’s just something he’s got to go through--keep shooting the basketball. It’s not for a lack of work; he’s in the gym a lot. I don’t know. I guess it’s a mental thing.”

DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: (on the win over Bethesda) “We were very active and played hard. Allowed them one bad (on his perspective of the game from start to finish)“It’s hard. The guys down the shot, got some rebounds, we were able to get out and run, it kind of set the tone early. We stretch there hadn’t been in that situation very often. Keonta is obviously a big part of what played really well in the first half. In the second half we kind of let them do what they want.” we do and the kid fouls out in 14 minutes. We haven’t see that at all this year, we saw that (on coming out and executing the way the coaches wanted) “We did what we were last year. He fouls out in 14 minutes and it takes away a lot of the things we do. We are just supposed to do, come out here and win and win convincingly. It was good we were able not tough enough right now, not good enough right now. We are just learning. We have to get some guys some time. Fifii got some playing time, hopefully getting his confidence young kids that haven’t been in that situation. Fifty-fifty balls, rebounds, thins like that--we going, starting to figure some things out.” just weren’t tough enough. It’s something we just have to keep working on. You’ve got to have your best players play well. This was probably DeWayne’s worst game. He didn’t play (on players such as Kenzo Nudo and Oscar Frayer getting the opportunity to play well at all. It hurts; this is a big one. We just have to bounce back and find a way to fight more minutes to work on their game and get more shots than typical) “Obviously with through it and sweep the rest of the games.” Kenzo, I don’t really care how he shot, he’s just got to get out there and knock the rust off, keep working on his conditioning, same thing with Oscar. Overall, it was a pretty good (on what he has to do now to get his team pumped up for th next game) “If I have to performance.” pump them up, then I have to get a whole new set of players. You know, we just have to come to work every day and try to get better. We all know this year means a lot to me. But in the big scheme of things, we are playing for next year. We have to learn, the continuum of mistakes that we are making, we’ve got to learn the way the refs are calling the game, we continue to foul and foul. There was a stretch there where we were fouling every time down the floor. You guys have to be smarter than that and we just didn’t do it. We’re not tough enough right now. We don’t get the hard rebounds, 50-50 balls, and it’s hard to win. DeWayne has carried us all year long. When he shoots 3-for-13 with seven turnovers, you’re not going to win many games.” (on if he expects his players to adjust to the way the game is being called) “They have to adjust. If they keep calling it tight at one end and not the other, you’ve got to adjust for it. You cannot continue to make mistakes. I don’t have an answer for the referees. Every time I say that, I get a nod and they say yes, we missed it, yes, yup, and after awhile I don’t care if you missed it. It’s not my call. We’ve just got to play through it. I wasn’t happy with the officiating, I thought it was terrible. It’s not an excuse. They won the game. They were tougher than we were. They played tougher, got loose balls, got big rebounds, made big shots and we didn’t.

DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: (on what the team did to take control in the first half) “I thought defensively we were (on the team’s 19-0 run to close out the game) “Unbelievable. We came out in the second pretty good. We really did a good job. This is a team that scores a lot of points. We battled half and there was a point they were shooting 81 percent from the floor. I mean they went and did a really good job in the last three to four minutes of the half making a run, 16-4, on a run, they went up 10 and we had to find a way to get tougher. We did that. We started got some stops, got some steals, got out and we were able to push it. We are better in to rebound the basketball, we got stops, we were able to get out and run and get some transition. I always tell the guys we want to run, we want to run. You can’t do that unless good baskets. Guys were aggressive. Darion played very, very well, we were waiting for you get stops and we were able to do that and we were able to break the game open and that. Josh got aggressive, DeWayne kept on battling, Gerard made some big plays, but once do that.” we became the aggressor, just more energy then they did, we fought our way back. They ended up shooting 43 percent in the second half and they were shooting 81 for a long time.” (on taking care of the ball after a couple of early turnovers) “DeWayne did a better job, but he still has to do a better job. He’s 5-foot-10 and when he gets trapped, he can’t put the (on holding a rebounding edge over New Mexico State, a much different result than ball above his head and be off-balance. He’s got to stay low, fake a pass, maybe drop off a the previous game in Las Cruces) “I told them we are better when we run and get out and bounce pass, he’s trying to throw it over a guy’s head. Kenzo is a freshman; he comes in really push. They have a good defensive team when they get set up. The only way you can do and has four turnovers. We did a little better today of taking care of the basketball and its that is if you get stops, get rebounds and get out and run. We weren’t doing that for awhile. something we need to do from here on out.

They went on a little bit of a run. We 2-for-9 (from 3), missed free throws. DeWayne is 4-for-12 with 0 assists. Gerard had 5 went small and that allowed us to switch. Shaq was really good in there penetrating. Josh turnovers. It was just an ugly, ugly game, but you’re right, we won it. Our two best players didn’t do a whole lot in the game.

Oscars was really active on the after losing to Bakersfield, to beat us would justify their last two games. We knew it was boards and was blocking some shots. He did a good job there, but he has to make some going to be a tough game. Just a gutsy performance from everybody. Fiifi, I thought, played shots. Defensively, we threw a switching defense on them out there and that got us back in really well. Oscar is in there rebounding again. DeWayne is not shooting the ball well. He has the game. That’s the one thing we did well with our switching defense.” to get that thing going, but I thought Shaq was huge. Just a great effort. We fought through it.

He’s hard to get thing that really kept us in it was our defense and we had 17 offensive rebounds.” around. He did a good job. We just had that small lineup in there and took away some of the things they were looking at it. To be honest, when they made shots, it was due to mental (on taking advantage of the zone to get rebounds) “That was our plan. This team is very breakdowns that we didn’t do right. That was just a fun game for them to battle through and good defensively. They hold you to a low percentage but they’re terrible rebounding the win when it wasn’t looking very good.” basketball. For us, we’ve got to get second and third opportunities. We’ve got to really crash the boards. We had 10 at the end of the first half. I wanted to get 20, but we ended up with (on getting two road wins and heading home) “I am so ready. The baseball team beat 17. That’s the thing that kept us in the game. They started off hot, making shots. We didn’t. Oklahoma State. Softball is winning. All the sports are really going well, so we have to fight We went to a switching defense which kind of slowed them down and got us back in the to keep up. I can’t be prouder of all the coaches and all the student-athletes. It really is a game. They ended up shooting 34 percent. We started cooling them off from the 3-point line special place. There is nothing like going on the road and winning. When I used to play for the because we were switching and denying. Cleveland Cavaliers, I used to have a running joke with Danny Ferry. We would go on the road and we would be flying home and when we went to land I would say, ‘We’ve got good news (on taking on Utah Valley on the road and what will they change) “Your best players have and we’ve got bad news. The good news is we’re home. The bad news is its Cleveland!’ That’s to play well. I always say it’s hard to win when your two best players don’t play well. It’s a not the case with GCU. I’ve got good news and I’ve got good news. We’re going home and miracle that we won this game. We had other guys step up and play hard. I thought Shaq was the great news is we’re going back to GCU. We’re looking forward to two games at home. huge for us in that first half. Oscar, the way he rebounded and blocked some shots was good. We’ve got to play well. Chicago State had us down by 20 there. That is going to be a dogfight. Our guys just have to get better.” UMKC beat us at UMKC and that is going to be senior night. With Darion and especially with DeWayne, that is going to be a big night. We’re 19-9 and 18-3. We want to get 20 wins in this next game. We’re still in the fight. We know we still need some help, but these two road wins were huge, especially this one.” ‹ 46 › 2016-17 GAME RECAPS

DAN MAJERLE POSTGAME QUOTES: (on consecutive 20-win seasons) “Yes it means a lot to have back-to-back 20-win seasons in just your fourth year of Division I basketball, it’s huge. We had guys go down early in the year, we knew it was going to be tough. Just fought through it, we gave some wins away but we’ve been battling, going on the road and winning and then come in here against a team that we’ve really struggled against and played well. Defensively, we were really good in that first half, got us off to a great start.” (on the good start to the game) “We really concentrated on pushing the ball, attacking and not letting them set up. That was probably the problem in Chicago State, we just set up and didn’t move bodies at all. Tonight we really pushed it and moved and cut in the middle and attacked early. Now obviously it helps when Josh comes out and hits threes. I watched the tape at Chicago State he didn’t hit any and had the same shots as he did here. He just didn’t make them. That makes a big difference when your best players make threes at the beginning of the game. That gets you off to a good start.” (on Josh Braun bouncing back) “Any shooter goes through spells and people are looking at him all the time, it’s hard. If he was the Josh of old, he probably would have had 40, because he did shoot 9-for-19 from three. Josh is a guy when he gets open, he can really fill it up. He’s fighting his way back. He’s dealing with those nagging injuries as he always is. Same with DeWayne, he had an awful first half, bounced back in the second half and shot the ball a bit better. It was good to see because DeWayne is going to have to be big these last two games.” (on the balanced attack of the game) “I think a big thing was Oscar getting five offensive rebounds in the first half. Shot his air ball, his first shot’s a three, I told him he’s got to take it to the basket and use his athleticism, did a great job rebounding and pounding the offensive boards. Did a good job there. We really attacked the ball and got some easy buckets.”
