It's the most electrifying proverb

 Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo scene.

 It's the most electrifying thing in the world. Anyone who plays the game of basketball as a kid growing up, you always do the countdown in the playground - five, four - and try to make a miraculous shot. I think tonight it was one of those days in the park, counting down and throwing up a wild shot and it's going in.

 He has come in and shot extra. I know he's counting on his shot going in. He's shot like, 'I'm going to make them.' It hasn't been a hope thing. It's (all about) repetition and feeling good about yourself.
  Bruce Weber

 We did everything possible to win the game. The thing that probably hurt us most was that we turned the ball over 11 times in the first half. We shot 59 percent in the first half, and that's 11 times we didn't get a shot. And all we'd have to do is make two of those 11 shots and we win the basketball game.

 That was a playground move. Sometimes that happens. I was going to keep going, but he (Brown) backed off. I've got a lot of stuff in my game. I just don't use it. I felt it on that shot, and it went in. If I take a shot like that and it doesn't go in, I better get that rebound.

 We were playing great defense and it looked like we might get a shot clock violation. Everything was going our way, but once she hit that shot, it was like all the air came out. She came through when it counted. If that shot doesn't fall, who knows what happens. But that's basketball, it's a game of breaks.

 That was a really big shot for us. That's kind of what I mean when I talk about players making plays. I don't mean the last-second shot, and I'm not talking about the final play. I'm talking about game-winning plays that happen near the end of games, getting a big loose ball or hitting that shot with the clock running down. Those are all things that this team can't take for granted.

 I had a lot to gain from missing the shot (in regulation). I'm a senior leader, so the guys are counting on me to make plays like that.

 We're growing as a team and that means having poise in pressure situations. When things get tight at the end of a game like that, you have to get a shot every time down the floor, make it a good shot, and knock in your free throws. We did that.

 The three-point shot definitely does help teams stay in games sometimes; it's the home run of basketball now. I feel that it's a good part of the game. Do guys sometimes tend to rely on three-point shot too much? Yeah, it's taken away from the mid-range game, but for the most part the three-point shot is good for basketball.

 Never in my basketball career have I had the opportunity that I just had with the ball in my hands, with the game on the line and to be able to make the shot. There is no better feeling in the world.

 No game is over with the three-point shot, the ability to lengthen the game, foul, make plays down the stretch. I think that's the big thing.

 That's the kind of shot we want him to take. He makes that shot all the time in practice, so why not shoot it in the game? When he took the shot I was fairly confident the shot was going in. Any shot he takes I'll run with.

 Charlie's been a guy all year long who has made plays for us. Whether that's been on defense with a blocked shot, or getting a rebound or scoring, he's one of those good basketball players who make plays.

 They just shot lights out. They were like 9 of 12 in the first half from three-point range. Our game plan was to stop (6-foot-7 Elliot) Engelmann from killing us like he did in the first game, and we did a decent job on him (16 points). But their other guys came out and hit shot after shot after shot.

 He's starting to figure it out. It's nice to see. His shot looks like a shot right now, and he's making it. He's handling the ball, making plays and he's trying to defend. It's all a part of growing up and being a better player in this league.
