William and Mary Player Quotes

Junior guard/forward Quinn McDowell
On second half
“In the first half we were able to stay with them, but in the second half we did not match Virginia’s physicality. We are never going to win games, giving up the points we surrendered while shooting the way we did tonight.”

On team identity
“It will come as the season goes on, but in our scrimmages it really has not been a big deal, we all have shared the ball and everyone has contributed both offensively and defensively.”

On offense
“We did not execute like we needed to on offense and so shots weren’t coming as easily.”

Senior forward Marcus Kitts
On tough three game stretch
“I feel like this is a good challenge for our team and will prepare us for league play. It is always good to play high quality teams like Virginia, Syracuse, and even Richmond.”

On injuries
“It is tough for everybody and is something we’re really going to have to fight through, as a team, early on this year.”

On second half
“The wheels fell off in the second half, and we looked rattled out there. It is something we’re going to have to work on with such a young team, staying composed and fighting through adversity.”

On Virginia’s play
“I think their effort in the second half was a lot better. They came out and hit some shots and were able to go on a run.”
