Vanderbilt Head Coach Kevin Stallings 1/18/2006 Vanderbilt Head Coach Kevin Stallings “It’s a long season, but that was one that obviously shouldn’t have gotten away from us. But you have to execute, and you have to make free throws and you have to take care of the ball and make lay-ups and you have to defend.” “I felt like we lost this game at the start of the second half. We gave up 17 points in the first 20 minutes of the game and 18 points in the first four minutes of the second half. That’s where the game was lost.” About South Carolina’s comeback: “We didn’t guard the point guard (Tre Kelley) and didn’t do a good job of getting to their shooters and they did a great job knocking down their threes.” On South Carolina’s winning basket (lay-up by Kelley): “He just drove right, the way he likes to do. And we let him drive right instead of getting over there and forcing him to go left.” On the home loss: “They all just count one. It’s plus-one, minus-one. You can’t get too high over a win and too down over a loss. The more even keel you can stay is what matters. How we respond is what’s important.” |
