He's been a terrific player for us. He's always around the ball, and you have to be playing with some fire to get 18 rebounds.

Bill Dreikosen

He's real big and aggressive. It's going to be a nice challenge. He has real good hands, gets a lot of offensive rebounds. I'm going to have to do my part to keep him off the boards.

Roy Hibbert

They got some huge rebounds. We came down, made a stop, but they got on the (offensive) glass in that sequence, and we were down (10).

Jamont Gordon

We wanted to run if we could on rebounds. But we knew we had an advantage with our three guards, all three of them can shoot free throws really well.

Mike Webb

Elizabeth Hall and Jackie Wetzel both had good defensive games and had eight rebounds each.

Dave Mellor

He controlled the game. You could live with him getting 30 points, but what you don't want is 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

Jared Jeffries

He's always good for between 16 and 20 points, 10 to 15 rebounds, a couple of charges drawn and a couple of steals in the post. Every time out.

Bob Horodyski

We have goals for (opposing team) rebounds and they doubled it and some on what our goal is. We slacked off that, but Geneva did a good job of getting in there for those rebounds.

Jana Killen

Rebounds pretty strongly from this sort of event. After several quarters of rebuilding, our productive capacity should be back to about where it would have been otherwise.

Jeffrey Lacker

We decided in our game plan we wanted to throw pucks at the net and see if we could get any rebounds. That's what we did and we came out and threw pucks at the net. We got some tips and some goals.

Brett Lebda

Greg is such a workhorse. On one of his rebounds tonight I saw his elbow go above the rim. That was most impressive.

Dave Doemel

We were coming down with offensive rebounds, but then missing a lot of shots form 2 feet away.

Rob Gray

Defensively, it was probably the best game I've played — with the steals, the blocks (three) and the rebounds. I play hard, I play with a lot of energy. Some nights I don't have the energy, and you can obviously tell the nights that I don't. I just try to play hard and go after the rebounds the best I can, and they were coming to me tonight.

Chris Kaman

[Marshall] has matured physically. He's been a monster the past couple of weeks. He had 22 rebounds in a game recently, and if he gets the rebounds, then he's entitled to shoot the ball.

Jeff Weiss

Those two guys are our leaders, and they do more than just score and get rebounds and get steals. They give courage to the rest of the guys with the way they play.

Troy Graefe

It's hard to get rebounds when they make all their shots. We actually did a good job of blocking out, but everything dropped through the net.

Jim Noonan

He was able to get some easy baskets for us. He had offensive rebounds for put-back. He gained a lot of confidence for us in that game.

Paul Wiedeman

The big ones have to try and do their job and do what they're supposed to do — get as many rebounds as possible. (Stony Brook) played with a lot of heart and a lot of passion.

Hilton Armstrong

For instance, in previous years, you could bear-hug players up in front of the net looking for rebounds [without getting penalized]. You can't do that now so we have to be athletic to make second and third saves.

Garth Snow

They're all big (games remaining). They're all league games. We're on the road again. We have to bounce back. Defensive rebounds, making easy shots, converting free throws...We just didn't do it.

Bruce Barnes

From her first game against Charleroi, when she had 23 points and 12 rebounds, I knew we had someone special. Her post moves are her strength. Now, she's developing a game in the open court. It's impressive when you have a 6-1 girl who can handle the ball so well. I can't wait to see what she does next year.

Jim Lane

We knew Zillah would come to play and we knew we had the weather the storm. In the third quarter we were a little more patient on offense and we got some better looks. We also did a lot better job with offensive rebounds.

Tim Taylor

I told (Craig) before the semifinal that I needed eight rebounds from him and he ended up with three. I told him it would be OK if he got the eight tonight, and I know he had more than that. He was big on the boards.

Rod Gorman

She was scoring a lot of points. She was getting offensive rebounds. She is a great player. But my five very good players should be able to beat a great player on a good team. I think we proved that tonight.

Nancy Kroll

We played hard, but we just got too far behind early. We committed too many turnovers, and their [22] offensive rebounds just killed us.

Henry Dickerson

Everyone pitched in and did what he does best. Morris is a competitor and with the game on the line he was our go-to guy. Jesse McGrath took care of the inside with 12 rebounds and Kareem Diggs was a real spark plug until he fouled out late in the fourth quarter.

Jim Flynn

I definitely didn't expect to do that much, especially against a team as good as Bearden. We just kept hustling and got a lot of offensive rebounds, which really kept us in the game.

Andrew Brown

Mike has played great. One thing we noticed in practice is his competitiveness. He's not afraid to go in and battle for rebounds. He's picked things up quickly.

Jamey Collins

He made his saves and controlled his rebounds. He was consistent.

Cory Robinson

Baxter really played well in net for Mt. Ararat tonight. He was always squared to the puck and didn't allow too many rebounds. He came up big for them.

Mike Routhier

It was pretty hard (to win). We just played a little better than they did in a few key moments and got some offensive rebounds.

Laurynas Mikalauskas

Some of the rebounds he got above the rim were unbelievable.

Chris Lowery

We had a lot of transition play, got some rebounds and created some turnovers.

Dave Pettit

Charlie was terrific and had an awful lot of rebounds and Adam had some huge baskets down the stretch. This game tells us we can come back, but I like playing with a lead, myself.

Jason Harlow

We had some bad turnovers and created some easy opportunities for them. The biggest thing in the fourth quarter is we gave up way too many offensive rebounds.

Jeff Arntson

Jamie was just all over the court. She had big buckets, and Ashley shot the ball well. We still missed a ton of shots, but we got a bunch of rebounds.

Cary Blake

I just try to put some points on the board. And if the shots aren't going I have to do some other things; get rebounds, play solid defense.

Shannon Francis

First time over there we didn't get any (offensive rebounds). We got like two offensive rebounds the first time. That was a big point of emphasis for us. I think we got like 12. That's a pretty good improvement over two.

Billy Carlisle

They have quick hands and quick feet and I knew that would be a problem. I still felt like it was our game. We controlled the tempo but on the defensive glass, we gave up too many offensive rebounds.

Donnie Gray

It's just awesome to have made it. This is what little girls dream of when they're playing in the driveway with their moms and dads, getting rebounds.

Chris Wielgus

I thought they played very well and rebounding was the story. They were beating us to loose balls and loose rebounds.

Bill Gibbons

Matt hustles a lot and is just a great athlete. He doesn't have outstanding basketball skills, but he's a great baseball player and a winner. He knows how to get the job done and gets his share of steals and rebounds.

Gary Ballestrini

Soares made a great save. Soares had a couple of big steals and rebounds. Soares fill all area of the statistics.

Brian Danilov

On long rebounds, we didn't box out well and they out-hustled us at times. Once they had a feel they were in the game -- if you let a team in the game, in the fourth quarter, it can come back to bite you and that's what happened today.

Craig Turek

We knew their size would give us trouble, but we thought our athletes would be able to get some rebounds, and we didn't get it done. At the end of the game, too, we had a chance to get a rebound twice and we didn't get it. Rebounding cost us this game.

Grant Rice

A shot on net is never a bad thing, especially in this league and in this rink. You get some funny bounces here. We want to put as many pucks on net as we can and get to the front of the net and jam home rebounds.

Scooter Smith

I thought we really had control of the game. (North Medford) had some offensive rebounds in the second half that hurt us and they stepped up and made some big shots.

David Heard

We had a few turnovers early in the game that hurt us. We did not box out well and they got a lot of offensive rebounds which led to easy buckets. They were just more physical down low than we were.

Noel Schaak

All those offensive rebounds are nice, but they don't mean much if you can't convert them into points.

Agnus Berenato

You just keep thinking it's going to happen. We had opportunities, we just had the ball bounce around an awful lot. There must have been more rebounds than any game I've seen in a long time.

Gary Castine

The last couple summers, he's really helped me with my game. Every night, we'd go out and shoot like 200 shots and he rebounds for me. He's pretty much helped me get where I am now.

Dan Toombs

We had too many turnovers and we gave up too many rebounds. We got beat.

Brian Winters

Chris doesn't score but he does so many things that people don't see. He defends, he rebounds, gets in the passing lanes, steals. You want him on the floor.

Rob Mileski

It's big for everybody in the room. With this team, you've got to be cautious of rebounds because they get a lot of offence from crashing the net.

Wade Flaherty

We talked about how that was ridiculous that a team we out-man in height had eight offensive rebounds in the first half, and they probably had a little more than that. We made the adjustment, and did what we had to do, but the first half was key.

Phil Tronsrue

Still, we may see rebounds in the afternoon on bargain-hunting by long-term buyers in construction, energy, and brokerage stocks that decline significantly.

Padermpob Songkroh

It was our seniors' last home game and they came out fired up and ready to play. It was kind of like a role reversal from the last time we played them. Our defense picked it up and we got some key rebounds.

Spencer Roecker

She's rebounding pretty well and she's getting a lot [of baskets] in transition and off of offensive rebounds.

Stan King

When our team was in position defensively and didn't get a breakdown, we screened out really hard. The kids were fighting for rebounds at that end. The Wolves did a really good job in the press. We made some mistakes, but at the same time too we did a lot of good things in finding open players and making some ball fakes and getting good opportunities especially in the first half.

Sean Coste

I thought he played fantastic. He's a kid who's a hustler and plays good defense and gets a lot of rebounds for us. Everything we get from him offensively is a bonus.

Shawn Russell

Bethany did a good job in a backup role. She played well in the post, scored some points and had some rebounds.

Steve Kellar

The other night (in a win over Meridian on Monday), it was Jeremy Holder (23 points, 10 rebounds). We just can't get everybody to bring their A-game every night. Fortunately, somebody comes to play every night.

Richard Mathis

What hurt us the most was missed key rebounds and easy baskets.

Alvin Copeland

In the first half, we owned the boards and controlled tempo. In the second half, (Mount Olive) got into transition, took control of the game's momentum and took advantage of their offensive rebounds.

Dave Springer

They out-rebounded us badly. They got a lot of offensive rebounds for easy shots. We have been struggling and we can't seem to get over the hump.

Lynn Ribolini

Our defense did a tremendous job, but we gave up some key offensive rebounds down the stretch that hurt us.

Cheryl Cole

We didn't capitalize on rebounds. Their goalie had several saves that were just by instinct because there was no way he could have known where the puck was.

Darin Hickey

We played well, they just shot the lights out, shooting 62 percent we and couldn't match that. Hilton had a good game, adding seven rebounds to her 15 points.

Bob Souliere

Although we're not happy with being the runner-up I'm happy for Mark. They did a good job on Campbell, but she still got 20 rebounds (14 on the defensive board). I'm so proud of this team. Nobody thought we'd be here (in the final).

Donna Moir

We got absolutely annihilated on the boards. You can't beat anybody if you get doubled up on the rebounds.

Mike Bauer

We've tried a lot of kids in that position - sometimes playing them out of position. We've got to find someone who can get in there, defend and grab some rebounds for us.

Jeff Houston

We didn't panic. We got some clutch rebounds and then we made some free throws in the end.

Todd Hansen

We allowed way too many offensive rebounds. We're a young team and sometimes you have to learn through experience.

Joakim Noah

We weren't getting anyone in front of her and she pretty much stops everything she sees and doesn't allow rebounds.

Michele Amidon

I gave him a game ball. He did exactly what we asked him to do. He made some great rebounds, some put backs... he had a great game. He was our MVP tonight.

Jesse Bell

When he's had a big game, he's getting eight to 10 points on offensive rebounds.

Rick Griffith

We only had 16 rebounds, which really hurt us. They kept getting offensive rebounds and putting the ball back up. It hurt us the entire game.

Jeff Shaeffer

Rebounding was the big difference. We knew that how we did on the boards would be key. We gave up too many offensive boards. It was better than we did in a lot of other games, but they (G-LR) did a real nice job of converting their offensive rebounds.

David Galvin

We will miss Adi a lot with rebounds.

Dirk Nowitzki

He's been a great encouragement to me. He said to be a great point guard I have to get my assists and rebounds as well as my points. Right now I'd rather have 10 assists than six points.

Jason Dawson

They got a lot of easy buckets in transition, either getting rebounds or steals. They just got a lot of run-outs, and we didn't get back and we didn't play Duke defense. We didn't play like our normal selves on the defensive end. That made a big difference in this game.

Demarcus Nelson

It's going to be a challenge on the boards. We're going to have to fight hard for rebounds. We just need to play like we've been playing, because we've planned all year to be playing our best basketball in the playoffs.

Wake Wood

We were just a little outmatched. They had a more powerful team. They got more rebounds than us and put their shots back up. They're a quad-A school, and we're not, but we did OK.

Kevin Plasterer

They're big, they can leap and they're good shooters. They killed us on the boards with 23 offensive rebounds.

Deke Routheaux

Guys hit their free throws down the stretch. We got a few key rebounds and they missed some shots.

Deon Thompson

That's a truckload of offensive rebounds.

Buell Gonzales Jr

Greg came to the forefront during the fourth quarter, which he's done so often for us. He was constantly tipping the ball inside, keeping it alive, and also pulled down some key rebounds for us.

Jim East

We came out and out-smarted them and were quicker and more physical. They are big, but not that physical. We got first blood, went real hard, and got all the rebounds.

Cedric Mcgowan

It will come down to who hits some shots and rebounds the basketball. I don't think there's any secret to either of us as far as that goes.

Amy Ruley

At any given time, any of our girls can step up and have a big game, whether it's making baskets or grabbing rebounds or whatever it may be.

Marshall Ballard

We needed contributions to beat that good team. We got (it from) all seven. I thought we defended real well in the fourth quarter, and we got enough rebounds to hang in there.

Ron Price

I've seen him play so well against people like Shaq and Yao Ming, ... a dominant low-post presence - someone that can get you 20 points and 10 rebounds and block shots.

Jamal Crawford

That's the character of this team. There aren't too many 2-21 teams in the nation who will grab 10 offensive rebounds. Our problem was not being able to put the ball on the hole.

Craig Rasmuson

Brooke is a force inside. We didn't feel like single coverage would do the job. She didn't get that many easy looks but she kept her head up, got some offensive rebounds and scored on second chances.

Kathy Olivier

Jeffrey could have been better in some areas. He had some chances to challenge more shots when other guys were beaten on drives and had opportunities to get some more rebounds.

Johnny Jones

I was just being active. Coach Painter always says to chase rebounds. I'm not a real athletic jumper, I guess you would say. That's what I have to do, boxing out and chasing.

Matt Kiefer

The story of the game was missed chances. It was two tough breaks, especially with the goalie battling his rebounds, but it could have changed the game. But they got the lead and stayed back, so it was hard for us to get into the zone and get our cycle going.

Alexandre Giroux

There's no way I expected Chris to go in there and grab five rebounds in three minutes in the first half. He just goes in there and knocks people around....He's a horse, and he's excited to play.

Scott Nagy

Camas wasn't good to us. We had good shots, but they wouldn't drop. We did grab a lot of rebounds.

Lacey Deweert

Anybody that averages 28 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots per game is a significant part of everything you do.

Bill Bufton

I just attacked the glass. I have to keep doing that if we want to keep winning. It's about rebounds and defense. That's what wins championships.

Dan Vandervieren

When your shots don't fall, you just have to go get offensive rebounds and keep working hard.

Luke Babbitt

We had a chance to put the game away and we didn't. They got a couple of offensive rebounds, a couple of our guys fouled out and we just didn't protect the ball down the stretch when we had a chance to put the game away.

Gar Heard

They were playing harder. They were getting after loose balls, long rebounds. We had to match their energy. In the third quarter and fourth quarter, we did a much better job.

Byron Scott

We saw Central Lake play Brimley (a couple weeks ago) and they had over 20 offensive rebounds. We emphasized rebounding tonight and I thought we did a good job. I felt we controlled the tempo.

Stan Sexton

(Raap) is an extremely hard person to guard. She's so athletic and strong that she makes it so you can't guard her with one person. You have to guard her with two or three people, so someone is always open and that opens you up to offensive rebounds as well.

Jason Rubright

We gave up seven offensive rebounds in the final period and we have to improve on that.

Chris Redfield

Last time we played, Coates got a lot of rebounds against us. We switched it up a lot tonight to confuse them.

Andrew Engel

He's a big kid; he covers a lot of ground. You have really got to work hard and you've got to score on rebounds and their defense did a good job of clearing the net. It's basically a dogfight every shot and rebound in there, and they played it well.

Brett Wilson

We have to watch all of them, there isn't just one player to worry about. We have to watch their posts because they get inside a lot. That's where they get their big scoring. Getting the rebounds and blocking out is the key to beating them.

Sara Hill

We gave up 14 offensive rebounds. That was a big key, especially in the first half. Their posts had a big night against us.

Brian Meneely

Claire and Brooke really stepped up and played big in the first half and Brunswick created some mismatches on the inside that threw us off a little bit. In the second half, we were able to cool them off a little bit. We picked up our intensity on the defensive end in getting rebounds and they stepped up.

Kelly Lafountain

Ashley is an all-around player, but we can always count on her on the offensive end. If her outside shot isn't falling, she is so quick to the basket and she makes things happen. She also follows her shot and can grab two or three offensive rebounds. It is nice to have a 5-foot, 10-inch guard.

Lana Tomlin

Gives us rebounds and great post presence and very active on defense.

Morris Hodges

If he had that mentality, he could have averaged 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds). Physically, there wasn't anyone who could match up with him. He could run the floor. He could finish. He was unselfish. He was a shot blocker.

Chris Spivey

This was a good win for us. Hepburn had a good inside game and also came down with nine rebounds for us.

Trevor Howard

I was really disappointed in our blocking out in the first half. We gave up 14 offensive rebounds in the first half. I thought our kids played a lot better in the second. We really battled through the kids' sickness throughout the game.

Jeff Arntson

They had some big guys who are really strong and aggressive. We're not that big of a team, especially without Brad and Dustin. It was hard to get rebounds.

Cesar Munoz

We didn't keep them off the defensive boards and they got way too many offensive boards. Voigt had 17 points and 18 rebounds.

Scott Beehler

She's playing with poise and a great deal of confidence. She's played well the complete 60 minutes. She's in the zone, she sees the puck well and controls the rebounds well. She puts the team in a position to win.

Jason Lesteberg

They had strong sales in consumer and construction, which more than offset lagging agricultural sales. Their end markets are turning favorable as the non-residential construction market rebounds.

Jeff Graff

I guess we open up with the big one. It's a tall order, but the girls will be excited about it. We've got to be ready to play, to give it our best effort, to get as many rebounds as we can at both ends of the floor.

Jeff Stuart

I'm extremely, extremely excited she made the decision to want to play again. That's a lot of points and a lot of rebounds we can't just count on and assume. So I'd love it, but it's not going to be final until it's final.

Lyndsey Medders

We shot the ball a lot better tonight. We were 16 for 34, that's about 50 percent and we went 15 of 26 at the line. You can't give them 20 offensive rebounds. They're just so strong and so physical.

Don Allen

(Lamb) did a great job putting them on her back. They had a lot of second-chance and third-chance opportunities. That really made the difference, that they had more than 10 rebounds than we did.

Kevin Furtado

Nina was the difference when she stepped up for us in the second half. She got some big hoops and rebounds.

Gary Jenness

I think she probably played the best game of her career. At the end she came up with some key rebounds for us.

Tom Morong

I worked a lot with the coaches on my rebounding and I hope I can still get more rebounds as the season goes along.

Nemanja Calasan

We got out of the gates pretty hard. We were ready to play. We played really good, I thought, throughout the whole game. We had a lot of shots, lot of rebounds, but their goalie played well.

Kevin Dallman

We couldn't make a shot or get a stop at the particular time when we needed one. They got offensive rebounds and in the fourth quarter, you can't afford to do that.

Kenny Thomas

We weren't scoring, and even with rebounds, we were missing underneath. But our kids showed a lot of maturity by recognizing that even when you're not putting points on the board, you win with defense.

Mike Healy

We closed out their shooters in the first half, but we didn't do that in the second. We didn't block out for rebounds, and we turned the ball over.

Pat Mcnamara

That's as good as we've played all year. A lot of (the offense) came off our defense with some steals and grabbing some long rebounds which started fast breaks.

Mark Coffman

We talked about the fact that rebounds would be the difference in the game. We were getting out-rebounded at halftime and to finish the rebound with over 50 rebounds just says so much about our heart, effort and determination.

Machelle Joseph

Their open court and second chances is what won it. We should know better than to try to stand straight up and expect to get rebounds.

Chanda Rigby

We had two chances to get rebounds. We did everything we needed to do.

Dan Stone

In the first half they had more energy, were more physical and they played harder than us in the first 12 or 13 minutes. We didn't compete as hard as they did. When that happens, the team that fights for loose balls (and) fights for rebounds is going to be ahead.

Andrew Coston

They were too strong for us in the paint. They got a lot of offensive rebounds, and that hurt us.

Chris Spivey

We told them at halftime they needed to reach down and find it in themselves to be able to pull out this win, and that is what they did. Chris Pitts did a great job for us getting rebounds.

Tony Banks

My shooting is coming around much better now (than) from the beginning of the season. I just want to keep rebounding at a high level. I'm averaging about seven rebounds a game.

Curtis White

We shot probably 30 percent. They were tipping in rebounds of their misses, and every time there was a rebound, there was a Charlestown jersey grabbing it. They're athletic, but I've seen us on occasion be just as athletic.

Tom Grassa

It wasn't big things, just little things. Some nights it was missed free throws, some not getting key rebounds, some bad bounces, and, like tonight, missed defensive assignments in overtime. We've competed to the wire in just about every game since early January.

Doug Foote

We came out with confidence and intensity and played very well. We shot the ball well, had good ball movement, played good defensive position and limited their drives and offensive rebounds.

Jeff Gress

I got a couple big offensive rebounds down the stretch that we kind of converted on. So plays like that, a couple tips here and there on defense, things like that ... Coach has been preaching to the team about.

Brandon Bowman

The kids that came off the bench did a really nice job for us. They got some key rebounds and played really good defense. We were able to sub pretty freely and not have to worry about things.

Curt Shaw

We just stepped up and made big plays and big, big rebounds on the free throws. We made some smart decisions at the end of the game.

Holly Treat

Back when we had good rebounding teams we rarely got to 40 - 40 is a lot of rebounds.

Mike Steele

He just absolutely killed us in high school. We just didn't have someone that physical, that willing to just get it done. My last game, he had 20 (points) and 20 (rebounds). So, go figure.

Kyle Macgillis

It's hard when you lose a player who can score 10 to 12 points and grab 10 to 12 rebounds.

John Hritz

We had that one quarter where we were off. I thought we played pretty well, but we couldn't get rebounds at the end, and the fourth quarter killed us. They were getting all the rebounds and making shots, and they got us big-time with the press in the fourth quarter.

Brittany Williams

Newark Valley is big inside, and they got a lot of good looks and offensive rebounds. We really struggled from the perimeter.

Lou Judson

Our defense set the tone. We were able to box out and they got few offensive rebounds. Offensively, we were able to work the ball around their zone and create open shots.

Matt Palmer

He was awesome in rebounding and points. We stress the box out and sent all five guys to grab rebounds.

Anthony Brown

I feel good. I'm playing. I'm ready to go out there and do anything we need to do to win, whether it's getting rebounds, playing defense or sitting on the bench. I'll do anything they need.

Danilio Hutchinson

He always plays steady, never gets too emotional. He rebounds hard and does everything right.

Dave Barrett

We knew that we were better in the paint than they were. We worked to get the ball inside and to hammer the boards for rebounds.

Melody Owsley

The team played really good in front of me and made it easy. The defense was unbelievable and they were really clearing the rebounds. Playing in the other games gave me some confidence.

Andrew Pinsent

That's the whole purpose of putting them on the line. Those have to be our rebounds.

Michelle Birdsong

My first instinct when I have the puck and I have the shot is to shoot at that open spot (of the net). I get a lot of my goals that way, but also score on rebounds as well.

Tommy Adams

We stepped up on defense and started denying people the ball. We started getting rebounds and running the floor.

Jeremy Keys

Obviously we wanted to stop White from penetrating and we were able to. We got rebounds late and made free throws and that is what a good ball club does at the end to win games.

Greg George

Brandon Radke was big tonight. He got a lot of defensive and offensive rebounds. And (Garcia) ... brings intensity into the game. Light does a great job handling the ball.

Anthony Fannick

James brought it to my attention in one of the timeouts that we had that I needed two more rebounds to get (20). I just worked hard to get it.

Cedric Mcgowan

I had a mismatch tonight and they didn't box out as much and I just got the rebounds. Last year, I came down here and I was awful, so I decided to prove myself tonight. We'd been waiting for this game because everybody was talking about how Chatham was going to lose.

Theo Sherman

We try to get 30 rebounds a game. That's our goal. We did a very good job rebounding.

John Naveaux

I thought we held our composure pretty well. We just had trouble finishing. It was a lot more than the free throws. They had 14 offensive rebounds and we had 16 turnovers. That's 30 extra possessions for them.

Jim Nazos

They're big guys, especially Freeman. We were trying to do the best we could boxing them out but unfortunately they got a couple of long rebounds . . . and it really hurt us in the long run.

Michael Lee

She is an amazing athlete and gets to the basket well. Offensive rebounds are her biggest strength and she really gets after the ball.

Julie Solis

We're beating ourselves. If you give up 13 offensive rebounds and don't control turnovers you just can't win.

Mike Power

Hodson played very well down the stretch and had 11 rebounds to go with his 12 points. He and Robinson gave us a lot tonight. Robinson did a great job around the glass and they turned nine House assists into points.

Rod Wallace

Wes averages 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds) and tonight he only played 11 minutes and had four points.

Mark Durham

That was really the game. We were four up and hadn't gotten anything the last two possessions. Those rebounds were huge.

Rick Scruggs

She's working really hard, maturing. There's not much more you could ask for from a sophomore, except maybe grab a few more rebounds.

Lillian Bullock

We came out sluggish. All four of their goals in the first period came on shots from the point and rebounds. We weren't tough enough in front of our net.

Jeff Wood

I don?t have any answers as to why they jumped on us in the second half like that. For whatever reason, we gave up a couple of offensive rebounds. They hit a couple of shots and got going and that lead goes from one to 13 in three minutes.

Dean Keener

We can always count on (Holloway) to get rebounds and tonight she got those rebounds and turned them into points.

Grover Battle

Jordan came through with a lot of rebounds (against Westland) and Chris Ricks, for being a young 15-year-old guy, plays like a heck of a man.

Chris Rider

You can't be all things to all people. I'm sure if Herb had his way, he'd like to have more rebounds. But when you spread the court like that, and you have more perimeter players, you do give up something.

Dave Leitao

We gave up 52 rebounds. That's sick.

Caryn Jarocki

Dan had good production (including eight rebounds), but we had to limit his time because of foul trouble. All three of our centers fouled out.

Robert Corn

I'm really looking forward to the tournament. The key is playing as hard as you can and being focused on what we need to do to win. I think it's going to come down to rebounds. We need to do a better job as a team rebounding.

Freeman Perry

You had eight offensive rebounds. Dang.

Thomas Gardner

I think we had way too many turnovers and gave up way too many offensive rebounds. I talked to them (at halftime) about eliminating the turnovers and blocking out.

Willie Goolsby

Curtis was big time. He had some blocks and some rebounds. His presence was felt. He finished around the basket very strong. He was banging around with two 6-7 or 6-8 guys much of the night, too. So he did a good job defensively as well.

Larry Bullington

He rebounds well and boxed out well. It's hard to get around him because he's so wide.

Bo Beck

We just gave them too many second-chance points to start the second half, and they got some offensive rebounds and we didn't. That was the difference in the ball game.

Lance Huber

Dirk will bring the same performance as he did against Turkey (33 points and 10 rebounds). I assume that. But others will have to step up for us to win.

Dirk Bauermann

Johns is averaging about 22 points a game and a team leader in rebounds.

Rich Hughes

Even though they had a lot of traffic in front of the net, I was able to see it. I saw the shots into my stomach so it was easy to control the rebounds.

Vesa Toskala

She rebounds, she steals the ball, sets up the assists. She's our bread and butter and has really played well. She does the things that don't get a lot of credit.

Val Anae

(Trumbo) played a good solid game defensively and got some key rebounds. He's one of the better players that I saw play in this tournament, and there were some awfully good players playing.

Jim Stafford

That was probably the most disappointing game I've ever been a part of in my career here. Words don't really describe it. I'm still very hurt by it. But you've got to move on and put those things in the past. Everyone's intensity has to be picked up a little bit. And I think we need to hit the defensive glass on rebounds.

Adam Dauksas

Our defense played better tonight. Hudson hardly took any shots inside the paint tonight and we limited them to three offensive rebounds, all in the fourth quarter.

Randy Appling

I didn't notice I had 12 rebounds. We were just blocking out. We have to do that or we will get chewed out. We have a lot of beasts on the boards on this team.

Markee Martin

I'm just really aggressive going to get rebounds. I think I want to rebound more than anybody on the team right now.

Sundiata Gaines

They did a pretty good job on Alyssa. They denied quite a few entry passes, but she got her share of rebounds and put-backs.

Robin Wozny

We definitely came into the game with a goal to control the boards, thinking box out. We did a really good job sticking to that until the second half when we let them get too many offensive rebounds.

Brooke Queenan

On Friday against Iowa, I think we were just trying to be too cute. Tonight, I think we were a little bit more prepared to get the puck to the net, and when you do that, you get rebounds and can make things happen that way.

Rob Daum

In that third quarter, they were able to get some rebounds on the offensive end that helped them get back in the game. Ashley (Scott) had a great game, but it was going to take more than one player to beat this team.

Anthony Houston

The two things that killed us was free-throw shooting and offensive rebounds.
