WAKE FOREST VS. GULBENE BUKI November 14, 2002 Winston-Salem, NC (Lawrence Joel Memorial Coliseum) Post Game Quotes
FINAL SCORE - WAKE FOREST 90, GULBENE BUKI 55
Wake Forest Coach Skip Prosser
"It was a good teaching opportunity and a good chance to watch our team and break things down to figure out what we need to improve upon. We don't have that hard-nosed edge to us yet, and I think we need to get a little tougher. We have an off-day tomorrow, but starting this weekend, we'll be working on that. Monday will be much more of a challenge for us."
"I was disappointed that Eric Williams got hurt. As a freshman, he needs a lot of repetitions and he wasn't able to get them. All in all, though, I think the freshmen brought a lot of good things to the table. This was a great experience for them and they're only going to get better."
"It's obvious that Josh has missed a lot of practice time and he's not yet the way we need him to be, but he did have 13 rebounds, so that's a good sign. He needs good, hard practices on a daily basis, and he hasn't been able to get them. But hopefully that will come sooner rather than later."
Wake Forest Senior Forward Josh Howard
"It was nice to be out there playing. I enjoyed it. I got a little winded but overall I played average. Everybody played hard. We just have to work a little bit on our defense."
Wake Forest Freshman Guard Justin Gray
"I'm just out here trying to win. When Coach told me I was starting I just had to get loose. Once you touch the ball, it's natural. I felt pretty good, but we have to do better in the future. If you mess up, you need to go on to the next play. We need to work on our defense; they got back in transition too easy. We also need to stop their second shots."
Wake Forest Freshman Guard Trent Strickland
"Once I started playing, it got pretty comfortable. It was very fun playing today. I enjoy playing as hard as I can out on the court. I just like to have as much fun as possible. In the future, we have to be a lot better. I need to know where I'm supposed to be and help out defensively. We need to work on our transition defense and our overall defense."
