career chance knew mentality opportunity picked sack score thankful
I was just thankful for the opportunity that the sack by Greg created. I knew once I picked up the ball, I was going to score and that's the mentality you need to have. I am just thankful for the chance to score my first career touchdown.
best defense score win
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
aggressive ball coaches instead passing score telling time
It was time I got real aggressive inside. The coaches have been telling me when I get the ball inside, to score it instead of passing it back outside.
cold foul girls happened loss needed offensive scores second shut
It was the same thing (as in a 66-55 loss to Utica on Jan. 13). They started out on fire, and I don't know if we shut them down or if they got cold in the second half. The same thing happened this time, but we just didn't get the offensive scores we needed and we had some girls in foul trouble.
biggest bottom close concern couple gigantic good halftime hit hole hurry job knew line points quarters score shot stay tied
Bottom line is by halftime we were tied there and they hit a couple buckets right before half. They jumped on us in a hurry and that's the biggest concern with them. They come out and you look at what they do to teams, they have gigantic first quarters and have them in such a hole that they don't ever recover. But we did a good job of regrouping and responding. I knew if we'd get close there at the half we had a shot to stay with it. You can't give up (that many) points in the first half. That's not the kind of score we wanted.
people score
We had a lot of people score and that's a plus.
everybody focus score step
We can score on anybody. But we have to focus on defense. They were just outworking us. Everybody has to step up, period, for us to be a better team.
bother low score word
No one said a word to me, no one thought I had a chance, ... That's the way it's been for me from Day 1. It doesn't bother me one bit. ... It happens. You just have to put a low score up and make it happen.
ball boards came controlled david extremely halftime happy jeff knocked moves nice open points score
We were extremely happy with the way we came out tonight. Twenty-two points has been a halftime score for us in some games. So that was nice. We knocked down some open shots. David and Jeff made some nice moves inside. We controlled the boards and were able to get the ball down the floor.
chance giving needed night ourselves playing positive putting score stop team
It was a team effort. We did everything that we needed for the win. You can't put it on one thing. We've been doing a lot of things well. We're playing well together. We're defending. We're doing a lot of positive things out there. We're putting ourselves in a (position) to win. We're giving ourselves a chance every night, just playing well defensively. We feel like every night we can score 100 points, but we've got to stop people.
ball defense entire faces hands inside points score shoot solid win
They can really shoot the ball and we're going to have to play solid defense and keep hands in their faces the entire time. We feel like we can get the ball inside but we're going to have to score some points to win this one.
beat hard scores team
It's hard to beat a team that scores 38 at the free-throw line.
defense good playing score tough whenever
Whenever you play good defense and get good pitching, you don't need to score a lot. If we keep playing like this, we're going to be tough to beat.
average ball care continue defensive far identity might night obviously problem score until
We don't have an identity as far as how we play on the defensive end. We might play well one night and on another night we won't play well. We always score the ball and average 100 points, so obviously our problem is in other areas. Until we take care of those problems, we're going to continue to struggle.
