Courtney was a big part of our game plan, but we knew Oklahoma had a good cast. Our goal was to slow down the ball in transition and put a lot of ball pressure. I don't think we did it well until the end. But the kids got a taste of the effort required at this level and there's a lot we can build on. |
Creating a seamless link between the device and the service is crucial, ... That's what Apple has done, and that's what Sony wants to do with the PSP.

Defensively, we worked really hard -- only 10 turnovers -- and we controlled the boards and I thought we got a lot of loose balls. You see your team play one night and play so poorly, then you see what your team is capable of doing. We just played a solid game. Steve (Blake ) ran a great game for us. |
Delivery of cells on scaffolds that promoted both activation and migration led to extensive repopulation of host muscle tissue and increased the regeneration of muscle fibers at the wound.
