Notes & Quotes

Losing Coach Dennis Zelaski, Niles (Notre Dame)

"There are two keys for us coming into this game. We needed a serious effort on the boards and we had to shoot the ball very well. Needless to say we didn't do a very good job of doing either."

"In terms of the tempo of the game, we felt it was manageable. It was a little quicker than we normally like, but we felt comfortable with it. We made a few too many mistakes and got beat up on the boards. It's a statement on the fact that R ockford Boylan was a very good team."

"We thought we were in great position at halftime. We were getting the ball where we felt we needed to have it. We were getting good looks and even were still in a good position at the end of the third quarter. But when you come out and can 't buy a basket in the fourth quarter, then we got hurt on the boards.. I think we may have run out of gas."

Winning Coach Steve Goers, Rockford (Boylan)

"I knew before the game that we would be playing a solid, fundamentally sound team. We wanted to come out and pressure, pressure, pressure. We controlled the boards in the second half and were able to control the tempo when we wanted to."

"If they had ever gotten six or seven points ahead, they might have tried to spread the floor."

"I wasn't at all surprised that Joe Tulley (17 points, 13 in the first half) came out shooting. He has a shooter's mentality and had a 25-point gamethis season."

"We're very proud of the way our fans from Rockford support the team. 1,100 tickets aren't enough for our followers. That's the only thing I don't like about Peoria. At the other place (Champaign) we probably would have gotten 1,400. With th e exception of the freshman players, our freshman students didn't get tickets for today's game."
