We kind of started the game playing on our heels, playing not to lose. But we bounced back from that and started attacking again. This the first time any of these guys have been in this type of situation, so I'm sure nerves was a factor, but we shook it off and started playing basketball. |
We knew early on that Duke was going to try and pressure us, do what they do best and get in lanes. Our team was able to fight through that, and we scored some easy baskets on them. We did a nice job in the first five or seven minutes, and after that, they knew they would be in a contest. |
We knocked down our free throws the fourth quarter and still took it to the basket. We weren't tentative, and that's really a good step for a young team. We know that almost all our scoring has to come from guys who haven't played much. Our seniors are role players, they don't score much. |
We know that Andrew is a competitor and deserves to be playing somewhere, and frankly it just didn't appear he would get into many games for us down the stretch. Minnesota was looking to add a player like Andrew to their roster so the deal made sense for both the clubs and the individual. |
We let the dogs hit the debris piles first to see if they had any interest. The amazing thing was to see the amount of destruction. Where before (the breach) there was heavy forest it looked like someone took a stream of water and blasted everything off those rocks. It looked strip-mined. |
We made a call that the integration challenge of trying to bring together a new operating system with a new presentation system, file system, user interface, communication system and have all those things be co-dependent was not good. [We took a] time out and decided on a different cycle, |
We made the qualifying time in the medley relay. We're seeded 18th. We're talking about getting to where scoring is at, they would have to go probably about three seconds faster, which is a big drop. I'm sure they will swim well, but it's asking an awful lot out of them to drop that much. |
We make residence hall assignments according to our students' preferences, and in recent years the number of students expressing a preference for all-women's housing has decreased to less than 200, ... The vast majority of incoming students want to live on campus in a coed residence hall. |
We must remain focused on the greatest threat to the security of the United States, the clear and present danger of terrorism. We know what we must do to protect America, but this Administration is failing to meet the challenge. Democrats have a better way to ensure our homeland security. |
We need to be aggressive and shut them off, don't give them space. We are not afraid to give up some possession -- Chicago had a lot of possession last week [in a 1-0 Revolution win] -- but we will go at them as quickly as possible when we get possession. That's been our style from Day 1. |
We need to dominate this weekend. We need to be the same team that beat Trinity. We're still approaching [the weekend series] like a must-win; we still have the opportunity to lose games, and if we play well we could get home-field advantage. We need to try to get back on the right track. |
We opposed Alberto Gonzales when he was nominated to be attorney general. We believe that his tenure ? both as counsel to President Bush and (former) Gov. Bush ? demonstrated a cavalier attitude towards the rule of law. We continue to have serious concerns regarding a Gonzales nomination. |
We really have to focus on defense and our intensity. Just working hard and having fun, because it's something that we really haven't been doing lately and we are really going to focus on these two games to really try and compete for 40 minutes of a game and not just be a first-half team. |
We really put in a work ethic that season. Sometimes I feel bad that we worked them so hard, but it has paid off in the long run. And that tells you what kind of kids we have. It's not fun when you're losing, but to work that hard when you're losing says something about all of those kids. |
We really struggled at the beginning of the year. A lot of pitchers took a beating. We couldn't miss a bat in the early season. It wasn't so much opposing batters hitting the ball hard; it was bloopers, singles, errors and then a double in the gap. We've stepped it up over the last month. |
