Vanderbilt Player Quotes 1/18/2006 Guard Mario Moore “We got some good looks on offense, but just didn’t knock them down. We had several let-downs on defense because we didn’t pick up the right man. We’re capable of being better. We have to just bounce back now.” On when the game became out of hand: “We held a team to 17 in the first half. In the first four minutes of the second half, they come out and score 18 points. That’s a let-down. We have to correct ourselves at practice tomorrow. That shouldn’t happen. Maybe we came out and let our guards down. They got off to a great start [in the second half] and that hurt us.” On preparations for Saturday: “As players we have to become more disciplined and play 40 minutes of basketball. We had a good practice on Monday and an okay practice on Tuesday and that showed in the game. We have to have two days of preparation in order to be ready to play. I think our team has the character to bounce back from two losses against a great team on Saturday.” Vanderbilt Guard/Forward Shan Foster “South Carolina is a great team. We came out and did a good job in the first half and controlled the tempo. In the second half, they came out and hit shots. Eighteen points in the first few minutes [of the second half] hurt us.” On missed front ends of 1-and-1s: “There are lots of things we have to do better on. I’m hard on myself over missing open shots and free throws. That was a hard pill to swallow.”
