NORTH TEXAS vs.
January 26, 2006
Isaac Hines (NT, G)
“Every win is a big win. You’ve got to take them when they come.”
“Coach Jones told us that they’d probably come out in a 2-3 zone. That got us a lot of open looks around the perimeter. We continued to run our offense and it paid off. I thought we did a good job of executing the offense. We wanted to go inside-out and that opened things up a lot for the outside shooters.”
Johnny Jones (head coach)
“I thought this was a well played game tonight.
“We have very capable guys shooting the three. That was evident tonight. Isaac Hines is one of the top three pointer shooters in the conference. Lionel Brown is very capable also. Kendrick Davis is always a threat and Calvin Watson can knock down the long ball also.”
On the
“We knew they would play zone against us. They rarely play man-to-man defense. They like to pack in the zone and force teams to shoot the three. We were fortunate tonight to knock down a few.”
Rebounding
“We did a good job on the boards tonight. We had 15 offensive rebounds and 50 total rebounds against a good zone defense. Harold Stewart may have gotten the two biggest rebounds late in the game. Once he was able to put the ball back up and score and the other time he was able to kick the ball back out to our guards and work some clock.”
