Box Score
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Postgame quotes from
Charleston Southern Head Coach Barclay Radebaugh are available
after his team's 95-85 win over VMI on Thursday night.
On the upcoming conference tournament:
"No team should be excluded from their conference tournament. It's
not fair to the kids. That's something I believe the Big South
needs to adjust. That was hard for us last year, not making the
tournament."
On coming back from an early eight-point deficit:
"We tinkered with our line-up a bit and got some calm guys into the
game. Then, we started to execute our game plan. The plan I shared
before the game works. That means sticking with VMI's three-point
shooters, seeking out lay-ups and shooting free throws. You can't
take quick shots against VMI; that's what they want you to do. So
the last 33 minutes of the game we executed our game plan and won
the game."
On the way his team dominated VMI around the basket:
"Kelvin (Martin) was 7-for-13 from the floor and Kenny
(Mitchell) was 9-for-12. That's because they were taking high
percentage shots. But you have to be patient to get those. And our
team was tonight."
On other facets of the team's play that led to the
win:
"We had 18 assists tonight and 17 offensive rebounds. That's
winning basketball right there. That's quality basketball. That
happened because we executed our game plan."
On Kelvin Martin's rank in the Big South
Conference:
"Kelvin is one of the five most influential game-changers in our
league. You have to mention him as one of the best players in the
league. When you start talking about 1st team All-Conference
player, if you don't mention Kelvin Martin, you are making a
mistake. He's one of the top five players in our league."
