Kruger's Texas Tech Quotes [SoonerSports.com]

http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-baskbl/stats/2011-2012/02-11-12.html

Head Coach Lon Kruger
Opening statement:
“Congratulations to Billy [Gillispie] and his club. I thought they worked hard, competed, beat us to loose balls and dictated all night long. We got pretty good energy to start the ball game and then when they evened it up there in the first half it seemed like, from that point on, they were the ones dictating, getting to loose balls and doing what they wanted to do. We didn’t have a lot going on either side of the ball.”

On overall energy:
“That’s one thing we’ve had from… pretty consistent throughout. I thought, again, when they took the lead at halftime and came out in the second half playing with a three to seven point deficit there for a while and couldn’t get anything going. I thought right there at that point we were playing to not lose as opposed to being aggressive and our defense didn’t have much going on all night.”

On Texas Tech’s defense against Pledger:
“They did a good job on getting up into his body, taking away the catch and shoot. Something that we will continue to work on is that people are going to play him that way and he’s got to be able to work off the dribble a little bit and create some looks.”

On struggles shooting the three:
“Pledger shot the ball, percentage-wise, pretty good on the year. Otherwise, we haven’t shot it very well on the year. I thought Billy’s group did a great job. They worked hard, were committed, and a good win for them.”

On frustration of the game:
“From an energy standpoint and a competitive standpoint I didn’t feel like we brought it like we have. Even ball games that we haven’t won, we battle it pretty good. I thought when they took the lead tonight we just didn’t quite have the enthusiasm and energy that you have to have to come back on the road.”

On Tech’s potential layover:
“Didn’t see any of that out of our guys. We had a couple good days of practice and preparation. Their enthusiasm was really good and they knew Tech is continuing to play really hard and had a lot of respect for that.”

On Texas Tech senior forward Robert Lewandowski:
“They did a good job of giving him the ball. He had some open looks; got a couple jumpers and that got him going. Then when we started trapping a little bit, they started to give it to him down low. He did a good job finishing opportunities and making shots.”
