Offensive rebounds killed us. [Northwest Christian] has been in this game before. As the game progressed, they just wore us down, and that experience showed. They were more disciplined than us late in the game.
Carlos Palacio
They beat us to rebounds on a few goals. Even so, we never quit.
Brian Durocher
She can get the rebounds.
Moses Knight
They came in the second half and gave us the lift that we needed. They got rebounds and put backs, which sparked our offensive performance.
Jon Pearson
We weren't taking it to the basket and we weren't getting offensive rebounds to take it back up to the basket to get fouls.
Dan Regnier
I give a lot of credit to [Brewer goalie Aaron] Saunders and the defense. They controlled the rebounds.
Greg Hirsch
Peter's scoring average is actually down from last year, but he has increased his output in assists, steals and rebounds.
Bob Marinak
In overtime, my guys were tired. They got five offensive rebounds off of foul misses late and that was key.
Dwayne Howell
We had balanced scoring but we had six players with six or more rebounds each. We controlled the boards and the outcome of the game.
Grayson Standiford
We worked harder on getting rebounds after halftime. We were so close, all we needed to do was take that extra step, and we did.
Shane Mast
I was scared. I was scared we were going to lose or something because we couldn't get any rebounds.
Fannie Goodwin
Phil had another big game for us. He and Chris had all the big rebounds for us down the stretch.
Ted Woodward
Great players find a way to help the team without scoring and she did that tonight with 14 rebounds and six blocks.
Jim Foster
We got off to a slow start. They crashed the boards offensively just like we knew they were going to do. It took us a quarter-and-a-half to start getting defensive rebounds.
Chris Kempf
I expect to play like that. As far as points, that was just normal. But rebounds -- that was my best rebounding game.
Carl Brown
(Adrien) is a big help with our power forwards and centers coming in off the bench. Without him, it?s going to be a big adjustment. He comes in and gets a lot of rebounds, plays excellent defense and scores when he has to.
Hilton Armstrong
He played an excellent game. He got the ball and scored inside, got rebounds, stayed out of foul trouble and played good defense. We need him to stay out of foul trouble.
Justin Horne
Brittany (Kent) was huge for us tonight, as far as rebounds. She got in there and picked up some loose balls and got some shots inside and kept us in it there for a while.
Josh Tarrell
In the end, they just out-hustled us to some rebounds.
Jody Stemkoski
This was huge for us, beating them in their gym after they've beaten us the last couple of years. They're a really good team, we just got some big rebounds when we needed them and played good defense.
Joe Alleva
(I) Wanted to score probably double digits a game. I've done that a few games. (I) Wanted to have at least five rebounds a game.
Jake Peymann
She has really been coming around with her play. She has had some good rebounds for us. She had a strong offensive first half.
Luke Windy
We're obviously taller, longer on the front line, so we're able to get those [rebounds].
Berrick Barnes
Even though he (Manning) didn't score he was still a force. He was finding someone else, he was getting rebounds and blocking shots. He was still the difference. There's only so much you can do with that kid. He's just a great player.
Kirk Kaczor
Their offensive rebounds were the back-breaker. You have to give Slaughter great credit. (SDSU) is an extremely talented team and you can't give away so many possessions to them without bad things happening.
Dale Layer
He wants to do whatever it takes to help the team win a championship, whether it's two rebounds or whatever. That's admirable. We know it's going to be a process.
Michael Hodges
They're more perimeter oriented than we are, and they're probably a little more athletic of a team than we are. One key for us is that we have to be really conscious of their ability to shoot the ball. Plus, they're so athletic that we have to limit their long rebounds and hold them off the offensive glass.
Randy Hauswirth
She got some big rebounds and some big shots for us.
Hugh Godsey
We all played good defense. We all played aggressive. Everybody was hitting the boards, getting a lot of rebounds. We were jelling tonight. We played good team defense. We helped each other and stepped out on their shooters.
Ryan Mooney
She's the type of player who not only scores and rebounds, but does a lot of things that don't get in the books. She's really stepped up when we needed her to and she helped establish our inside game.
Kelly Mathews
There were two things we needed to do well coming into this game. Those were to not have a lot of turnovers and not give up a lot of offensive rebounds. And we give up 27 turnovers and 23 offensive rebounds. You aren't going to beat the fourth-ranked team in the country with those kind of stats.
Keith Richard
Ann got the game ball tonight. She did great getting rebounds, communicating, blocking out and rotating on the ball.
Matt Strophy
Coach told us to take it one possession at a time, get some defensive rebounds, come down on offense and just run our set. We got some stops and were able to get easy baskets.
Akeem Wright
The transition offense for them was perfect. They were getting a lot of rebounds and pushing [the ball], and that created a tempo that Ford is comfortable with. We just gave her opportunities to score.
Kelly Greenberg
There have been only three games all season where we have been at 100 percent. When we get Stephen back, that's 14 1/2 points and about 11 rebounds a game. That's a big difference.
Grant Weaver
We had good breakouts coming with speed and good entry. Once we're set up we have great puck-movers. It doesn't have to be a big slap shot all the time because we're there for rebounds.
Nicklas Lidstrom
Matt's got a legitimate chance to be conference player of the year. We need him to hit open shots and get offensive rebounds.
Brian Lane
The next game I blew it on blocking out. So I worked on getting rebounds. That was the goal.
Hannah Passafuime
She was great on the boards all night. But she got big rebounds in the second half.
Sheila King
Offensive rebounds just killed us in the second half. We gave up way too many rebounds on the defensive end.
Todd Plattner
It's hard to swallow when you fight so hard to get back in the game and down the stretch you lose it on the little things ? loose balls, key rebounds and free throws. It's always hard to lose games like that.
Stromile Swift
Mike Scott has been giving us great defensive presence all year. The rebounds he got down the stretch were very key.
Jim Christian
The 21 offensive rebounds, that was crazy. We can't rely on David and Tyler to get all the rebounds. Some of the guards have to get in there. But 21 offensive rebounds, I mean, that's almost handing them the game.
Bobby Frasor
He came up big in the fourth quarter. In that period he had four steals, two rebounds and an assist. His play was instrumental when we came from six down to win.
Bobby Sandquist
That's one thing we have to stick to. You can always rebounds if your shots aren't falling ... block out and go aggressive to the boards.
Jon Chaloux
We owned the rebounds in overtime.
Chris Scrimsher
He was terrific. We had no answer for him. He broke us down off the dribble. He beat us to rebounds, loose balls. He was very good today.
Tommy Dempsey
He's been a four-year starter and averaging a little over 10 points and six rebounds a game for his career. He's never been an all-conference player, but he's certainly a candidate this year.
Warren Caruso
Our transition defense wasn't good. Our rotations were wrong and they got some rebounds on the offensive end and that hurt us.
Justin Sparks
Last year, they set a MAC tournament record against us with 55 rebounds. We wanted to pound the boards.
Romeo Travis
We got going early and got up on them. Allison had an excellent night - 33 points, 10 rebounds, six blocked shots, six steals - that's a pretty good night.
Bruce Bailey
We struggled at free throws all year long. In the end, our kids stepped up and got some huge rebounds for us.
Don Showalter
A lot of it came down to that we missed a couple rebounds on free throws that cost us down the stretch. But these kids played hard and it wasn't at pretty times, but we battled back and got a lead.
Mark Terlip
They made a run and we never stopped it. We gave up 17 offensive rebounds and that's all we've worked on the past three practices.
Todd Kimble
When you got a guy like Hawkins getting 15 rebounds, you're going to do OK on the boards.
Rocky Lamar
Rebounds just killed us in the first half. When you give a team two, three chances at scoring, it's going to hurt you.
Mark Laturner
We turned the ball over. We couldn't get the loose balls, and they took the rebounds away from us. I think they were more active.
Mehmet Okur
All we want for her to do is rebound and play good defense. We ran one play for her today. She scored all of her points by hustling and getting rebounds. That's what we need from her. We love her size and we feel as if she can give that to us.
Dee Romine
It's pretty nice when you play defense and get some rebounds. Our defense keyed the offense and we made some nice kick-out passes to get clear shots.
Harry Ladue
I know late in the game, one of the assistants said Matt Simmons must have had 15 rebounds. Every time we needed a big one, he got it. He plays like a horse out there.
Jeff Langrehr
I just tried to play with as much energy as I could, and tried to fly around the court and get rebounds. They went with a smaller lineup, which I guess allowed me to get a few rebounds.
Richard Hendrix
The one thing we didn't do well was get defensive rebounds. They just had too many second and third shots.
Sara Schopper
We made a few adjustments on defense. We took some things away and we didn't let them have the offensive rebounds.
Danny Starkey
She's going to give us headaches for three more years. She's just so big and strong. She's got good hands, rebounds well and scores well.
Kris Johnson
Michael had the best game overall. He had numerous rebounds, steals and assists and he was able to match up with their speed.
Paul Neville
He doesn't have to have the ball passed to him to have a great night - he goes and gets it. He could finish a game with 25 points and 20 rebounds without having the ball passed to him.
Kevin Keatts
We gained the lead briefly in the fourth quarter, at the six-minute mark, and didn't take care of the ball and failed to come up with some key rebounds.
Mark Terlip
They had a bunch of offensive rebounds (nine) for baskets. They cut us in the heart because they were offensive rebounds for baskets. I think all of their offensive rebounds were for baskets.
Porter Moser
We were able to get some key rebounds early on both ends of the court, and that was big. We thought we could utilize our height advantage on the inside, and fortunately we were able to.
Dick Wilcox
That game changed the mood because it showed any team can win the conference. It will come down to loose balls, rebounds and turnovers at the end.
Keena Young
We knew coming in that in order for us to win this game, we would have to get rebounds, and to hold the ball on offense. The less possessions they had, the better off we were.
Alfred Artis
They had us outsized at the forward and center spots. But again, that's something that we run into every night because of our lack of depth. That wasn't what cost us though. We just lost our focus when it came to getting in the paint and going after rebounds.
Adam Houdeshell
Be it block shots, be it rebounds, be it a dunk here or a dunk there. I'd love to play like I did tonight every single game. That's the goal.
Michael Boone
That's impressive. Thank goodness we were playing defense and getting rebounds. That kept us in the game.
Amanda Van Voorhis
Once you get to this level, there are so many good basketball players. You have to find what's going to get you on the court, playing defense, getting rebounds, diving on loose balls, the hustle plays.
Jake Sinclair
The other night I told Larry he doesn't have to score every possession. He should be getting double-digit rebounds and some assists.
Lou Dawkins
They got four rebounds (in overtime). It was just huge for us.
Joe Sigrist
I think our depth wore them down along with the press. We did not finish our shots strong, but we hit the boards. We got a lot of offensive rebounds.
Andrea Gorski
We're getting better. We had 34 offensive rebounds in two games last week, and I told the guys if we continue that we'll be hard to beat.
Brian Katz
She's just one of those kids that has that competitive attitude and that fire. We love it when she starts getting shoved around because she gets really angry. You can see it in her eyes. You can see it on her face. She's going to be out there getting those rebounds for us.
Terry Dejong
What makes her special is she can do it all. She rebounds, can handle the ball, plays with her back to the basket or facing the basket. She can defend somebody in the post or on the perimeter.
Luann Grybowski
Ellie is one of most enthusiastic players. She always hustles and she communicates with her teammates. In this game she hit a big 3, got us another big basket and she continued with her knack for getting some key rebounds.
Rachael Moore
I just try to go after it every game. Really. I just try to make a goal for every game of how many rebounds and how many offensive rebounds I can get.
Spencer Johnson
She is able to do a lot of things. Offensive rebounds, she has a knack for doing that. She's almost like a contortionist the way she can move her body to get the rebound and get it back in.
George Reed
I don't know the number of offensive rebounds they had, but you can't give up as many as we did and expect to beat a team as good as Kolbe.
Paul Dudzinski
I really think when we have a good offensive possession, we're more active on the other end of the floor and we make things happen. We get rebounds and we get out and run. When we run, that's when we're at our best.
Colin Falls
And he'd at least have grabbed some rebounds. I know that.
Ab Rodriguez
What can I say about that kid. She gets a ton of rebounds and hit some huge shots (tonight).
Jeff Froelich
We told them that all five people had to go and get rebounds, and we started doing that.
Mick Fleming
Our goal in this tournament was to get better. We're never pleased with losing but we did learn some lessons and we improved. We just gave up too many offensive rebounds.
Monica Wells
We didn't rebound when we needed to get rebounds. We didn't get a stop when we needed to get a stop. That's on us. That's a team thing.
Carlton Valentine
I thought it was exciting. I thought it was neat how he practiced three days and then was in there getting rebounds.
Brent Celek
Caldwell has some very fine guards, they just don't have the height that we have this year. We have some excellent guards as well, but fortunately for us we was able to get rebounds that they couldn't.
Jeff Moore
I wanted it for her more than I wanted (the MVP) for myself. She has always played well when we needed her. She's so underrated. She rebounds, makes steals, everything.
Kristen Nash
We just have to do two things - stop turning the ball over and stop giving them offensive rebounds. Once we do that, I think we'll be on a roll.
Yemi Nicholson
I thought we worked hard the whole game. Those first two periods, a lot of chances around the net, a lot of rebounds ... but we weren't able to put it in the back of the net. But early in the third, we were able to put some heat on them.
Trent Whitfield
We gave up offensive rebounds, at least 18, which is the stat of the game. Overall, we played well in every other aspect of our game, but the rebounds were the difference.
Becky Flynn
Twice (late in the fourth quarter), we had one-and-ones, and we got the rebounds. That's big. We get that rebound, there goes another 10 seconds off the clock.
Kip Rhoten
Everybody rebounds but when it comes down to it, Katy and I think it's up to us to take over that aspect of the game.
Kirsten Jeter
That's the unfortunate thing. I sent a kid to the hospital today, a 6-2 post player who gives us 21 points a night and a load of rebounds. That made a big difference tonight.
David Mack
We shot very well, but turned the ball over too much and gave up a ton of offensive rebounds. Now we're kind of at the mercy of the (NAIA) selection committee. Hopefully we can sneak in.
Joe Reints
We pride ourselves on our defense, and our defense carried us tonight. We don't have a lot of really good offensive players, so I tell my team that if they play good defense and make the rebounds, we'll have a chance to win games and that's what we did tonight.
Willie Thomas
I thought we didn't come out with a lot of energy early in the game and I thought we were just standing around waiting for each other to get rebounds. I was a little disappointed with our effort early, especially on the boards. But we finally got five guys in there that got after it a little bit.
Bob Murphrey
He's not afraid to make mistakes. It's amazing how he gets offensive rebounds. The moment he steps on the court he's playing hard.
Jason Richardson
I knew they were going to be very tough -- they're very talented and unselfish. The big difference was, they got the turnovers and easy baskets, and they ran the floor. We couldn't go man because we had to keep our big kids in to get rebounds so we couldn't pressure them.
Paul Lundberg
We limited SIUE to just one shot on the defensive end for the most part, and I thought we did a very good job of keeping them off the boards. I told our players we needed to keep SIUE from getting offensive rebounds, and we did that.
Nancy Winstel
When you play the No. 2 team in the country and you give them 25 offensive rebounds, it's going to be a long night.
Steve Pikiell
I thought Mark had a real good game. He made some shots, he was really active on the glass and got a lot of big rebounds and he played good defense all night long.
Mike Waldo
(Davenport) did a great job. She was pulling down rebounds for us, she was hitting shots for us. She's a great player and she did a great job inside for us.
Debbie Blake
Evan just played a great all-around basketball game. He did it on both ends of the floor. He probably had 10 or 12 rebounds. Offensively he was real poised and composed. He took advantage of mismatches at times and broke people down and got into the lane. I thought that was important for us offensively, as well. We attacked the bucket. We didn't settle for 3s all night. That was key.
Doug Stiverson
Obviously, our shooting percentage was horrible. We had a ton of offensive rebounds, we just missed everything. And we got a lot of turnovers, but we didn't capitalize when we got down on the offensive end.
Alana Erickson
My role would definitely be to defend, go after some rebounds and take some pressure off Amaré.
Brian Grant
He bailed the team out when all was lost. Rebounds, hitting the post, I think he did some great things.
Steve Adlard
He made the saves when he had to and the defense moved the puck up the ice well and played well clearing rebounds.
Mark Duffy
We knew the thing they did best was rebound the ball. They don't shoot well, but they get a lot of rebounds. We had a lot of trouble with them in the first half on the glass.
Dean O'connor
She played a great game. She made a ton of saves and collected all the rebounds.
Sarah Wilson
She contributed in all aspects. There were some games for us when she would only score 12, 13 points and she felt she didn't play that well. Well, when you looked at the overall game, in reality she played very well. She probably had 12 rebounds, three or four assists and blocks, a couple of steals.
Kristy Parent
They had as many offensive rebounds as we did defensive rebounds. Matt Wayne was the difference. We couldn't keep him off the boards.
Ray Lauwers
I don't know if fatigue was a factor or not. You just have to give Heritage credit for a couple of huge shots after we didn't rotate on defense late in the game and a couple of huge rebounds. We gutted it out until the end but couldn't get shots to fall late.
Grant Smythers
When he rebounds well is when we play well. He knows that. You look back at the games he rebounded well in and we have had a chance to win.
Scot Bunnell
We were getting good shots, and everybody was making shots. But what we needed were more rebounds and more defense.
Jamel Carpenter
That was big. Especially at the end. We were fouling to stop the clock and got exactly what we wanted with missed free throws. We have to come up with those rebounds.
Jim Harmon
I was able to get in there and squeeze down some rebounds as well. I'm just happy I can help my team any way I can. I was just able to find guys on my team in good spots.
Chris Quinn
They got some key rebounds and some real key put-backs. I felt like we dealt with the size difference pretty well for most of the game.
Jim Kleine
We have to get aggressive. We have to deny passes. The last couple games, teams have been catching it too easy on the perimeter. We've got to knock passes down, put more ball pressure on and get more defensive rebounds.
Roderick Middleton
The first half was tight because we were able to run the floor. In the second we couldn't get rebounds and never really had a chance to run.
John Woody
I was really pleased with Dean Johnson, he's a guy who works really hard for us and gets a lot of rebounds for us, but that's the most active I've seen him.
Jim Crosbie
We did not pull away until the third quarter after a huge run. We played very well and had balanced scoring. The big difference was getting 19 offensive rebounds.
Shane Mast
That's where Jenna made her mark, getting 13 rebounds for us and six assists. She's just really adjusted her game this year. She is probably our most improved player. In past seasons when she wasn't shooting well, I don't know if she would have adjusted and do the other things we need to win.
Kent Johnson
We did not play our neutral zone very well tonight. We need to work on our passing in that area and we need to work on rebounds. Alton does a great job scoring off rebounds and we need to crash the net like they did tonight.
Kevin Klette
They love watching their uncle play. They're just learning the basics of the game. They're learning rebounds and assists. It's great when they get to watch him.
Deirdre Hanley
We didn't match up well from the beginning and the foul trouble only made it worse. We got killed on rebounds. We were playing our small lineup against their big lineup.
Matt Fisher
It's important to remember this was a team victory. I gave up some rebounds and the guys cleared the puck for me. It was a good team effort.
Ryan Daniels
She scores well, rebounds well, passes well and guards well. She's a total all-around player and she makes others better.
Patrick Cinotte
She has post presence. She's big, she gives a big target. She can get rebounds for us, and she can post really deep in the paint. We have to get her the ball. She's been doing a good job.
Marnie Dacko
I felt bad for Zach because we left him so exposed. There were a lot of goals off rebounds and I think that on at least four of the goals, he made the initial save.
Neil Roberts
It's one of his strengths. But at the start, it was the energy he brought, the rebounds and deflections.
Jesse Nakanishi
We had 33 offensive rebounds and we played well on the defensive end. Defense carried us.
Lance Valley
(Cannon) had 15 rebounds. Twelve of those were offensive. I feel she was getting beat up in there and not getting the calls. She didn't give up. There are going to be games where they don't call those fouls inside and that was one of them. She kept going after it. She didn't get discouraged and that says a lot for a freshman.
Connie Allen
It was a scrappy game. I was really pleased with the last five minutes. I thought our execution was a little bit better, we got some key rebounds and we stepped up and hit our free throws when we needed them.
Bill Dreikosen
We spread them out a little bit. We made some shots. We got some offensive rebounds. And got the ball in the middle of their zone a little bit more, got some penetration.
Andy Schulz
We did a good job of not going for fakes. And Turner had some massive, high-elevating, snatch-it-down rebounds.
Mike Gurley
She is one of those rare individuals who gently gets as many rebounds as points. She has an awesome jump shot and when she wants to take it to the hoop, she can. We count on her for six to 12 rebounds per game, so when she gets a double-double, that's a Johanna game.
Tim Kohlbecker
The first half, we played about three or four minutes of basketball. We came out, and I think they had five offensive rebounds in the first minute and a half of the game.
Jay Carlin
She comes every day to practice and works real hard. She's a great kid. She gets a lot of offensive rebounds and she's been learning the post moves. She's come a long way. She just fights for everything she gets. She's really a hustler. She's certainly been the backbone offensively along with Jess Donovan.
Joe Russo
Most of those were defensive rebounds. He was there. He dominated. He was an animal on the boards. He kept the game in control with his boards.
Dave Pettit
We defended better and we attacked the basket. Our guys inside put up a relentless, tremendous effort. There was one possession where we got three or four offensive rebounds before we finally got fouled.
Larry Hogan
We definitely started crashing the boards better in the second half. We knew if we weren't going to get the rebounds now, when are we going to rebound? Rebounds always matter, no matter if it's the beginning or end.
Samantha Woods
They were physically strong and went to the net and got on the rebounds.
Evgeni Malkin
We lost the game in the first half, when we didn't match Moline's intensity. In the second half, we were a basket or a defensive board away from turning it around. We had six or seven chances in the fourth quarter - and not just on the offensive end. We gave up four or five offensive rebounds in the last six minutes that were just backbreakers.
Evan Massey
We were right there. What it came down to was a couple of loose balls here and a couple of rebounds there that would have pushed us over the ledge.
Eric Osmundson
He's playing hard defensively, grabbing rebounds and taking the ball to the basket. It's been a long road, but he's really stepped it up.
Eric Norberg
That's those long rebounds that we kind of have trouble with from time to time. We'll do a better job rebounding.
Erin Lawless
That's pretty cool. Somebody told me awhile back that I was getting close to 1,000 rebounds, but I kind of forgot about it. I remember it now.
Erika Quigley
It's the same goal for us ? screen out for rebounds and use our energy in productive ways. That's the easy part of preparing this time of season. We know what we have to do to be in the game.
Eli Juarez
Brunner had like 23 rebounds in the last game, so our goal was to hold him to zero offensive rebounds. We just had to keep them off the boards.
