I'm disappointed that it came to this kind of situation. We have addressed the issue and resolved it. The players have taken responsibility for their actions and hopefully the team will be ready to move forward. |
I'm getting questions from people all over the place on that. I would hope so. I think this team deserves it. I think we've got some quality wins over some good teams. |
It was an ugly game. I wasn't happy with our performance in the first half, but it wasn't unexpected. Whenever this team has a layoff, we just don't play well early. |
It's a decision you don't want to have to make, but ... for the best interest of everybody involved it was probably the best decision. |
It's a new season. We've got a good opportunity in front of us. But we came last year as a higher seed and we ended up getting beat. We don't want to have that be repeated again so we have to get back on track. |
It's a quick turnaround for us playing on Wednesday (against Idaho). It's not the best situation, but fortunately Monday is a holiday, so we'll have time to rest up and get ready. |
It's going to be an important game for us. I think if we can get the win on Saturday we'll still probably be tied and I think it will come down to our last two games for both teams. |
It's up to her now to hopefully finish this thing out and get back on track. And it's up to us now to make the adjustment team-wise. |
McGuire got hot. She likes to play against us, and scores a bunch of points playing us. |
No one got hurt. They got to run up and down the floor and have some fun. The players enjoyed getting dressed up with the costumes. It was a good way to kick off practice and then get serious on what we need to do. |
Officially, all we're saying is she's suspended right now. It's day-to-day, and hopefully when we get to Reno, we can get some things resolved one way or the other. |
One of our goals was to keep them off the glass. Early in the game, they were getting some second chances and our key was to put a body on them, get the rebound, and get the ball down the court. |
Our priorities for our program are your family comes first, school comes second and basketball's after that somewhere. This is a situation where she just needed to be back home for a little while and we did that. |
Pam rebounds for us, and I think with this adjustment we're putting her in a better position to score because she can step out beyond the arc. It gives her more flexibility. |
Right now we're in position where we can make a significant move in the standings. So we just need to take care of our business, take care of the games we can control. |
