Post game quotes
Vanderbilt Head Coach Kevin Stallings
Opening Comments:
"We're happy to win. Nosotros played well on crime tonight… Our 2nd half defence wasn't very skilful. I didn't think our second half intensity was good, which was reflected in our shooting. You look and nosotros went one-for-12 from 3 in the second half."
"Nolan [Cressler] came off the demote and gave us some good minutes… He had two actually practiced days of practise."
On Missouri:
"They keep playing until the very end. I admire their team for that. I admire their coach for that. They've had a tough past couple of weeks. Their players desire to contribute. That's a real positive."
On Vanderbilt'southward Three-Point Defense:
"Our squad was good at defending the three until final season. And so, we were last in the league. Information technology'southward something we emphasize and focus on."
On Vanderbilt's First Half:
"We dedicated well. Our team, when nosotros become stops defensively, tends to shoot well on the other end. Information technology's something nosotros've emphasized all season long. The more stops we get, the ameliorate we play offensively."
On Vanderbilt Baby-sit Nolan Cressler:
"He's played well in practice. His conviction seems to be back. I've liked Nolan'south look in the last few days in practice than I have at whatsoever bespeak this flavour. Nolan and Riley [LaChance] have both been terrific in practice… As long every bit they proceed to practice similar this, they'll pause out."
On Vanderbilt's Energy Level:
"It'southward February. Y'all're probably not going to be amped upward every second of every day. We played hard tonight. Nosotros were merely missing a little emotion."
Vanderbilt guard Wade Baldwin
On playing a great get-go half and a decent 2nd half:
"I think we're just happy with everyone that we tin can get. I recollect that this was due to our great preparation in exercise for two days. As Coach Stalin said, nosotros take to practice well to play well, and it showed tonight. There was a little drop off in the second one-half. We just try to continue to get better."
On the success of 3 pointers during the offset one-half:
"I approximate the guys got a good warm-up before the game, and came out shooting threes well. They kept the streak alive."
On Nolan Cressler coming off of the demote:
"Nolan is a great asset for us. In his play, leadership and graphic symbol, it's what this squad needs. He helps us tremendously because he'southward a great guy, a great teammate and his ability to score the ball is fantabulous for our team. I'k glad he'south coming along because he's a corking player and nosotros really need him."
Vanderbilt forward Luke Kornet
On starting the game with a x indicate lead:
"It'due south important to plant ourselves and prepare the tone. I think we did a bad job in maintaining that tone. Over the year, nosotros've had pretty practiced starts and getting a niggling advantage in the first. I promise that we can carry this win into Sat."
On the team thriving at home:
"I call up there'due south some condolement in it. This year at home we've done a good job of putting in extra attempt and actress free energy. There'due south a great opportunity on Sabbatum to show some growth."
On playing with a knee caryatid:
"I don't actually notice information technology. I had some problems for a couple games in getting strength back in my legs. At this point I don't notice it when I play, information technology's not really a focus of mine."
Missouri Head Coach Kim Anderson
On the game:
"Certainly a bad outset half. I didn't think that we played very well and they played slap-up, they did a great job in the first half. But our guys in the second half kind of woke upward a little bit, started relaxing. We did a great job of finding Ryan Rosburg. I recollect that was his get-go career double-double. Jakeenan Gant played extremely well offensively. He made some shots and I idea he was pretty agile offensively. Nosotros just didn't have an reply for the game. Vanderbilt is so counterbalanced; you think yous got one guy stopped but so another guy jumps up and shoots information technology in or takes it to the goal. I was pleased with our second half operation. Nosotros didn't lay down and give up."
On Rosburg'due south effectiveness:
"We got the floor spread a little bit. We ran and set some brawl screens, and was able to roll because they were dragging or hedging. Nosotros were able to get some pocket passes to him. He doesn't shoot from far out, simply he was able to get close plenty. He did a cracking chore of getting the brawl to the basket. He had skilful footwork around the basket, we only have to get him there."
On Vanderbilt's Defense and three-Betoken Shooting:
"You guys have only seen us play once, but we have had struggles all twelvemonth trying to get out of the gate effectively. I have to requite Vanderbilt some credit also, I thought they did a great job and were really on them [Missouri players]. Only I thought we had some really decent shoots too. We're just a young bunch of guys and didn't make them. If yous don't make them, you put yourself in a pigsty. This is not an like shooting fish in a barrel fourth dimension to come up confronting, they have and then many different options. But, I idea we did a good chore on Jones, though they do take five guys hitting double figures so yous tin't just pay attending to one. Information technology makes y'all retrieve if want to double up on him, merely when you lot practise, he throws it to someone else that can shoot. But, I was proud of our guys. We hung in there in the 2nd half and didn't gyre over."
On guard play:
"I wish I had an answer. Over again, I thought a lot of the shots were good shots and that some of them might of been off residue. Only, some of our guys accept to empathise that when y'all become backside by x points, it is not the finish of the world. At that place is no x betoken shot, you practice have to take hold of upwards one indicate at a time. I thought at times we force things a fiddling also much, but in the second half we did a lot improve. We shot 37% the game, and we had ii guards in there who shot 2 for 20, which isn't very adept."
On shooting struggles:
"I wish I had some secret formula, just you just have to proceed working on it. Nosotros have had games were we shot the ball well. Shot selection is something you are ever trying to work with. Y'all are always trying to get guys relaxed and shoot the basketball, which I thought we did a better chore with in the 2nd half. When the game is on the line early on, you got to be able to make that xv foot bound shot. It'southward something we accept to keep working on. I don't have any magic, nosotros simply have to go on practicing, continue trying, and keep encouraging the guys."
Missouri Forward Ryan Rosberg
On his starting time career double-double:
"I think I just kept attacking, endeavor not to get frustrated. I got a couple shots blocked, going up against a couple seven-footers, great players, I knew that was going to happen at some point, so I just tried to stay ambitious, not let that go to me, and continue shooting shots that I know I can make."
On having success confronting Damian Jones and Luke Kornet:
"They're going to block their shots considering they're so long and athletic, and always in the right identify defensively. Give them a lot of credit. My teammates found me in good spots, and that helped a lot."
On another slow outset for Mizzou:
"Definitely on the road, the tough stretches and tough starts kill us. I don't know. We've got to execute early out of the gate, we tin't get down early on the road like this because it's and so hard to come dorsum when you don't have your own fans. I don't know, execute offensively."
On Vanderbilt'southward early 3 indicate shooting:
"It was tough. We knew coming in that they were a top shooting squad, i of the top three point shooting teams in the country, so nosotros just tried to stay out on the shooters but they're actually expert. We demand to accept a page out of their book, exercise some things similar that. Merely it's tough when you encounter all these guys making shots against you."
