Postgame Quotes from GW/Oklahoma Game
11/21/1999 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
GW Head Coach Tom Penders:
"We needed a pretty big performance from Mike tonight and he got himself in foul
trouble."
"We played a good basketball team tonight. We started off a little slow and I'd like to give Oklahoma a lot of credit. They're playing very sharp, crisp basketball right now."
"I'm not at all disappointed in our basketball team, it's early. Today they played like men and they played hard. They played a very good Oklahoma team that is, in my opinion, a Top 25 team."
"It gave our kids a chance to see what it's like to play against an extremely physical team that is really strong on the boards."
GW's Antxon Iturbe:
"Toward the end of the game, we got a little sloppy and they took advantage of it."
Oklahoma Head Coach Kelvin Sampson:
"I thought that the key to the second half for us was second shots. GW kicked our butt in
the first half with second shots. They were really active on the boards."
"We had a hard time guarding GW off the dribble. Tom does a good job of spreading you and attacking with quickness."
"I thought our zone slowed them down. Our goal was to make them go sideline to sideline. They're quicker than most teams."
"(Val) Brown, be patient with him because he's going to be really good."
