Tovarich: We did a decent job hanging in there in the first half. Then we got worn down in the second half. It'd be nice to have some more people to rotate in to keep fresh. We can't rebound. Their PG got his own rebound THREE times in one sequence. I didn't know whether to laugh at him missing three layups or out-jumping at least three of my guys three times in a row. We have no real rebounding ability. We don't shoot well and that goes for contested layups. We don't defend overly well either. The effort was there. We must have deflected 15 passes and we didn't get a single one of the first 10? I hope we used up a lot of bad luck there. It quickly became apparent why we're the worst team in America. I'd have possibly figured that out in our scrimmage, but that got canceled due to lack of players.
Reporter: If you can't be competitive with NJIT, can you even win a game?
Tovarich: Very possibly not.
Reporter: Did you bite off more than you can chew by jumping from coaching a team of HS FR to Division 1?
Tovarich: Also very possible. This season's going to test my patience. It's going to test their patience. I hope to replace almost the entire roster as soon as I can. This is a long-term rebuilding project, and I may get fired long before it's over.
Reporter: What are your goals for this season?
Tovarich: To get it over with so I can find some talent. Also, maybe to find the phone number for the previous coach so I can ask him why he gave scholarships to some of these people, and mainly, WHY DO I ONLY HAVE NINE PLAYERS ON MY ROSTER?
Reporter: You seem a bit frustrated.
Tovarich: Oh, you haven't seen anything yet.
