I thought we responded well to our first conference loss. We knew a fast start was important and the guys did exactly what we needed by jumping them early. |
I thought we took some quick shots, which allowed them to get easy buckets. It got their confidence going; it got their rhythm going. We forced some shots. |
I thought we were extremely unselfish moving the ball. We attacked the glass very, very hard. I think it was just a really solid overall game by this team. |
I thought we were going to be second for sure. When we made the last jump, I thought the other horse had it. But my horse just dug all the way to the wire. |
I thought we were in control of the game until we ran out of bodies. I've been coaching for 32 years, and I've never had a better defensive team than this. |
I thought we were more disciplined than that. We made too many mistakes and had too many penalties and Steubenville did a nice job of capitalizing on them. |
I thought we were turning the corner. We had a good stretch of games, and we've taken a little step backwards now. We have to find a way to get back again. |
I thought Woody, overall, pitched fairly well. He's gotten the ball up a couple times, but tonight he was better. He had some tough luck that first inning. |
I threw all my pitches that were ready today. The split's always the last pitch to come around for me. My fastball command was good, and that's key for me. |
I told Candice our team is searching for a leader. We are searching for someone to listen to, searching for someone to ride her coattail. It had to be her. |
I told him that may have been the best throw he had all day. The inexperienced guy tries to get that (pass) in somewhere. I think he's playing really good. |
I told him, 'I love you. I miss you and everything is going to be alright.' And all I heard was a bunch of blood, I guess in his mouth, gargling or a moan. |
I told my players we can't lose the ball, and we can't let them get behind our defense because they want to do that. The players did what I wanted them to. |
I told our guys about No. 20. Man, that kid can really shoot the ball. We had to find that kid on defense and do a better job shooting the basketball, too. |
I told the kids that if we're going to have any chance at getting into the playoffs we have to step up the first game and set the tone for what lies ahead. |
