HEAD COACH SCOTT CROSS: "This was a very disappointing performance by our team tonight. Our guys didn't show the toughness or grit that I'm looking for. It hurt when Jakevan went down because he was playing really well for us. Our margin for error is already small, then when you lose another starter, it becomes even smaller. For us to win a game against a really good basketball team we need to play much, much harder and tougher. And we didn't. Their zone gave us some trouble and we didn't shoot the ball well in the second half. Georgia Southern was prepared and did an excellent job of finishing against us. We need to find a way to get to the free-throw line more consistently too. And then, our transition-defense was too inconsistent tonight. We had a few live-ball turnovers that turned into uncontested layups or dunks for them on the other end, which really hurts. That was something that hurt us against Arkansas State, and it hurt us tonight. Those are a momentum killer and usually lead to a run from the other team. We can't continue to turn the ball over and allow uncontested layups. We can't lick our wounds so to speak because we have a quick turnaround and big challenge in Georgia State on Saturday afternoon." On Stampley's performance: "Nick is definitely our toughest all-around guy which is why he's out there. He battles every single possession. Nick does all of the little things for us. His ability to take charges is phenomenal, and he blocks out every time. We need to get more guys stepping up and playing as hard as he does. If we all played as hard as he did, we would have had a chance to win the game tonight." troytrojans.com/news/2020/1/16/basketball-m-stampleys-effort-not-enough-as-trojans-fall-to-georgia-southern.aspxHey Coach! Not an apologist here, but. Give that tough GaSo Defense credit as well. Likely the best squad in the 'Belt.
