Post-Game Quotes - Florida Atlantic 62, South Alabama 55 - 01/27/10
South Alabama Head Coach Rick Pietri
On the lack of energy:
"Florida Atlantic) is a good team. We had to play well to beat them at their place. It wasn't like it just happened. We had to play with intensity, desire and heart to beat them at their place, and we just had none, not until four minutes left to go. We acted like we weren't interested until the last four minutes. You have to give Florida Atlantic credit, they came in with a good plan, did some really good things and made plays. They made big time shots at the end of the shot clock, contested shots. You've got to give them credit."
On cutting the lead to four heading into half time:
"I really felt like that would've been a catalyst, but in the second half we came out with nothing, absolutely nothing. It was bitterly disappointing. Then you're going to wait until you're down 13 in the second half to act like it matters. Sure we had a great rally and we got within striking distance, but, against a good team with a good plan, that's too late."
