Andy Kennedy Postgame Quotes

On energy level

"It's going to be a long year. We've got a lot of work to do."

On troubles rebounding and correcting it

"It was all of the above. We've got to work more. That's what you dogo back to work."

On the last eight minutes of the game

"Thank goodness we make free throws. We're shooting over 80 percent as a team. Chris (Warren) missed the last one. Thank goodness we make them. Our margin for error is such that we struggle to manufacture points. We talked about from day one that we've got to find a third scorer. David (Huertas) and Chris (Warren) keep carrying us offensively. Until we find a third scorer, there's going to be a lot of pressure on those guys every night."

On the young post players

"Two steps forward, two steps back. DeAundre Cranston in the last game was really physical and gave us a presence. Today we were just not getting the productivity that we need. Our first-shot defense is pretty good, as good as it's been since I've been here. We're putting pressure on the ball, we're contesting shots, but it's the offensive rebounds that are killing us. We gave up 21 offensive rebounds (to Morgan State). If we could have limited those, this is a 20-point game."
