We played a very sloppy fourth quarter. We didn't have a good offensive plan and it is very difficult to get shots off in the shallow end of the pool because the defense has a huge advantage being able to stand. |
We played a very unenergetic game and, fortunately, we came away with the tie. We are going to have to play with a lot more energy if we are going to win the SEC (Southeastern Conference) in our remaining games. |
We played extremely well offensively [Sunday] against Seton Hall. That's two days in a row now that we've hit the ball really well. We've got some quality at-bats, have been moving guys over and driving guys in. |
We played like a champion team in this match, and it was always our intention to play well in the semi-finals to send a clear signal that we want to do the double. We are at home and we know the conditions well. |
We played very well to beat a team like Mountain View. They work hard across the entire field and can make life difficult during the game. But it's really great when you can get a shutout in a championship game. |
We practice and drill going to the line tired. But you can't simulate going to the line at Reynolds Coliseum with a tie game and 6 seconds to go. He did something he's going to remember for the rest of his life. |
We probably had three this year where he sees nothing but goal line in front of him and a lot of yardage, a big hit, and somebody dives and just nips his toe. But he'll get some of those before the year is over. |
We pushed the supply chain as hard as we could to sell as many as we could. We haven't yet reached the positive position of having supply equal demand, because to some extent we continue to see very good demand. |
We ran better than we did last week in the City Meet, but it was a tough course, so you couldn't see the improvement in the times. Our first three runners ran well. Now we need our four and five guys to step up. |
We ran into Chattanooga's buzz saw. Last year Chat left the bracket in the first round after a disappointing loss at Chattanooga. I knew as a coach they would return with a real vengeance to recapture the crown. |
We read a quote from the president about the Chicago White Sox. He said to them, 'Hey, you went out on opening day, and you never surrendered the lead for the rest of the season.' It's a nice thing to shoot for. |
We realize they have a team to field and work to do, and this is a unique situation. We certainly appreciate their patience and professionalism. They need answers to questions we just can't answer at this point. |
We really came together after the Big Ten Tournament. We accomplished quite a bit in (the NIT). We fell short, but we accomplished a lot. We are going to move forward, and the program is going to gain from this. |
We really don't see that it will have much of an impact, primarily because we have always responded to every request for information from the City Council. That has always been our policy and will be our policy. |
We really don't want to put ourselves in competition with Katrina. I don't think that's appropriate at all. At the same time, we don't want to be overlooked. We just want to make sure our story doesn't get lost. |
