I thought that when we drafted him. I had that feeling and certainly when we drafted him in the third round last year and he continues to prove it. He is all football, he is extremely tough and he is a team guy. |
I thought the defensive execution wasn't there at the end. The offensive execution was good enough. We were scoring, but when didn't execute on defense. We couldn't stop them from penetrating towards the basket. |
I thought the first five minutes of the second half was good. Overall, I was happy with it. It wasn't perfect by any means ... and even though it's a game we should win, we still have to come in and get it done. |
I thought the first period was a solid period. The second period, we weren't bad, but they kind of took it to us a little bit. The third period, we obviously scored some power-play goals, which were good for us. |
I thought there was a lot of speed ahead of me, ... I was sitting back and then I called on her and she responded. They were nice fillies, but she got by them pretty easily. She had to step up today and she did. |
I thought this was our most complete game of the season, by far. I like where we're headed. I'm happy our guys are seeing how we have to win. We played great defense and did a good job of sharing the basketball. |
I thought Tina Thompson played her best all year. So two great players played but it was a total team victory. I would have never thought that we could limit them to less than 60 points. I'm just really pleased. |
I thought we did a good job of containing him without the ball. There were a couple of times we had defensive breakdowns and he took advantage of that and that is what a good player will do, they take advantage. |
I thought we did a nice job on Smith. But they have some excellent players. When someone is down, someone else steps up. That's what makes them good. That's why they won the game because other people stepped up. |
I thought we had him. You can see now that he has some special qualities about him. No question about it. All in all, I thought our guys did some great things against him. It was those two big plays that got us. |
I thought we shot the ball really well. Our defense was probably the worse it has been in the entire playoffs, but you have to give a lot of that credit to Madisonville. They've got a good player in Brad Taylor. |
I thought when we were down 1-0, we had an opportunity on the power play. We had an empty net and missed it. That was probably the biggest chance we had in the game. We have to be able to score on those chances. |
I told him [Dean] that he really had inspired me in Iowa about a year ago, ... Well, when you give something this much of your life and the sacrifices that you make, he really did and he still does [inspire me]. |
I told the kids at halftime that if we didn't defend the paint it was over. We had to give them the three ... I figure if they make them after not making them for 14 games, god bless 'em they deserve to beat us. |
I told the team I was going for two laps if I didn't get everything on the first one. I ran it again and she felt pretty good. It was pretty darn close to a perfect lap. If anybody can beat it, they can have it. |
