Postgame Quotes
Hawai'i vs. Northwestern State
Dec. 28, 2009
Head Coach Bob Nash
“We’ve got to be ready for when teams show up here. Our guys are ready for the conference season and I know we have 17 games left with Bracket Busters, so we’re going to put everything out on the floor on a nightly basis and try to make the most successful team we can be. We’re just going to keep working hard like we always do.”
“Tonight Paul Campbell had a double-double but more things we want to notice are in terms of the way he worked on defense, the communication with his teammates, and his willingness to put his body out there on the line and sacrifice for the good of the team. You can’t show enough praises for the way he played tonight. Also Brandon Adams stepped up, Dwaine Williams performed excellent on the offense, so it was truly a team effort.”
“The key stat for me is the number of turnovers we had tonight. 17 turnovers are way too many for us to be successful against 11 assists. The rebound advantage, 53 rebounds, that’s a good stat but I look at the turnovers, something that we had control over. We just didn’t do a good job controlling the ball in the first half or the second half.”
