Postgame quotes from CSU vs. Maryland

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Postgame quotes from CSU Head Coach Barclay Radebaugh after his team's 89-51 loss to Maryland:

On his overall impression of his team’s effort:
“I thought the first half that we played very hard and played well. I thought we competed very well offensively and defensively. Then the game got away from us a little bit in the second half. Their experience came into play, and we had a couple of costly turnovers that allowed the game to get away from us a little bit.”

On the errors his team made that allowed Maryland to build their lead:
“I thought we made some mistakes against their press that were uncharacteristic of us. Those things are easily correctable and we will take care of that. We haven’t had a problem with turnovers, and we’ll do a much better job of holding on to the ball in the games to come.”

On the composure his team showed in one of college basketball’s toughest gyms:
“We had six guys playing in their first college basketball games, and to ask them to do that in front of 16,000 people, in a very hostile environment, was quite a test. Overall, I thought we handled the pressure of the crowd well, and I didn’t think that was much of a factor.”

On the play of Jamarco Warren:
“I thought Jamarco handled himself very well. He handled their press very well and ran our team. I’m very encouraged by the way he played.”

On the play of Kelvin Martin:
“Kelvin will play much better as the season progresses. He was very aggressive and he will play much better. I liked his energy and competitiveness.”

On the play of Kenny Mitchell:
“Kenny is going to be a really good player for us. This being the very first college game he ever played in, against Maryland’s front line, I thought he played very well.”

On the outlook of his team going into Tuesday’s game with The Citadel:
“We’re going to take this game and break it down tonight and learn from it tomorrow. We’ll be well-prepared to play a very good Citadel team. They’re coming off of a great year, and they have a tremendous team coming back.”
