Tovarich: That game was more fixed than the St. Francis game.

Reporter: Who exactly is fixing it?

Tovarich: The fixers.

Reporter: Why do you think some of your games are fixed?

Tovarich: There are too many misses. Too many coincidences. Too many predictable things. It's the second time where we had somewhere in the vicinity of 15 chance to tie or take the lead and we shoot 0%. 3 FT's down 2 with 8 seconds. Make the first. Miss the last two. Get an offensive rebound. Miss an easy putback layup. 44-23 rebounds is too insane. When they did occasionally miss, they got it back 75% of the time. 8/16 on FT's? We shoot over 80%. 6/33 on 3's? Tyson 1-14? It's too many coincidences all at once. +16 in turnovers and +16 in shots is extreme and not enough still. We shoot 0% down 1 score and about 100% down 2 scores. It's blatant and I can see it coming every time. They were 1-4 and there's nothing magical about their high school gym.

Reporter: Are you sure it's not team unity?

Tovarich: If it is, it's crap. I sub in 5 guys at once who played together last year and Raftery can tell me all he wants how they haven't played together very often. LOL. They've played 38 games together, so it's not that. I don't know who comes up with team unity but it's way overblown if it's the problem. I don't think it's why we can't get a rebound or why we miss layups. If someone's going up for a layup and stop to think, "wait, I'm not very experienced at playing with the guy who passed me the ball" and then misses then it's all stupid.

Tovarich: It's a win I guess. Forgot what those feel like after the last 3 games.

Reporter: You don't seem that happy.

Tovarich: Getting outrebounded by 10 by a 2-9 team doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me. They shot 49%. We jumped up by 10 real quick and basically they played us even the rest of the game. It's not encouraging.

Reporter: Is is possible your team isn't really any better than last year?

Tovarich: Sure seems that way. The folks who rate everyone on paper sure seem to have messed up on us. If we're the best team in the MEAC, it's the worst conference in history.

Reporter: Tyson scored a lot more coming off the bench. Did that plan achieve what you were hoping for?

Tovarich: He accumulated some points, took quite a few shots. Just was trying to make sure he wasn't broken after the last game.

Tovarich: Great to win a tournament. I'm now going to be a better coach next year because of that. I'll have to put those skills on teaching how to make a layup and get a rebound.

Reporter: Are you now convinced Tyson isn't broken?

Tovarich: Yes. I guess it does matter if he's a PG or a SG. He'll have to stick to being a SG and coming off the bench. Wiley's more than prone to go cold, so we'll mix him in, but apparently he needs to go stand in the corner and catch a pass to be able to shoot rather than having the ball in his hands already.

Reporter: Are you sure you don't want to get better at recruiting?

Tovarich: Maybe. I've put a lot of effort into recruiting so far. There's just minimal interest in this school until we're a lot better I guess.

Reporter: Do you think you solved some of the road woes today?

Tovarich: No. I expect Longwood's arena is a magical place with lots of spells. These games were neutral even if someone was designated as 'home'.

It was Dinko. Loretto, PA is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, run by him.

Tovarich: Good balance of scoring. Rebounding not great. Did a good job getting to the foul line.

Reporter: You started Tyson, but then moved him into the B team. What's the logic there?

Tovarich: Trying to keep his confidence up a little. Maybe if we call him a starter it'll help a little. The guys who started last year and aren't this year are getting pretty down on themselves and the unhappiness is already moving through the B group.

Reporter: Don't you want most of them gone anyway?

Tovarich: I don't know. I am more familiar with them. They're apparently not as talented as the new recruits, but the new recruits aren't playing that great either. I'm not in a rush to run them all out even though I can probably get someone with more 'talent' and keep starting this team unity thing all over from the bottom again and again.

Reporter: You're the underdog of the 4 teams in Charleston, do you think you can get any wins there?

Tovarich: I guess since they're "neutral" and not road games, maybe we'll be able to do something. We've had some rough road losses so far.

Reporter: You seem to be pressing from the start, but then stop after a few minutes. What's the plan with that?

Tovarich: Just mixing it up. Can't be too predictable.

Tovarich: Crazy to be +20 in turnovers and +10 in shots just to eek out a tight win over a 2-9 team. Luckily they cooled off in the second half. They went from 86% on 3's in the first half, so obviously we couldn't withstand another half of that. 76% total in the first half, but they only ended up at 63% so they should a very human 50% in the second.

Reporter: Why don't you just press everyone all game, every game to force all those turnovers?

Tovarich: Because it's a dumb way to have to play basketball. It's not very realistic. It shouldn't be needed to win a game. Sometimes it isn't, but it's insane the way teams shoot against us and then also outrebound us 41-12 lol.

Reporter: UMBC us 3-11, what do you expect from them in your final pre-conference game?

Tovarich: For them to play like they're 11-3 and shoot like they're robots programmed to make almost every shot and for us to be grossly out of position on every rebound so they can have them all.

Reporter: Will you be less negative and pessimistic when you win more?

Tovarich: Yes.
