We were not putting pressure on their shooters and they were just teeing up and shooting.

Todd Coburn

Temple is a different animal. They don't run a lot of offensive sets to free shooters. It's more one-on-one with bigger guards that can shoot over the top of you. We'll have our hands full. They don't have a post presence outside of Wayne Marshall that scores consistently in the post. We have to do a better job of focusing out on their shooters.

Chris Mack

Balance is what we've been looking for. We didn't shoot well the last two games, so it was good to see all the kids hitting their shots tonight. I know Hinsdale's down now, but still, it was good for our shooters' confidence.

Thane Graves

He's an excellent stick-handler. One of the best skaters and shooters I've ever had.

Al Murdoch

We got out on their shooters and we talked. That?s the number one thing we did. Defense won the game for us today.

Doran Mitchell

Sometimes that happens. They (the Ghosts) have great shooters. Early on I didn't think they were going to miss.

Lynn Ribolini

We knew there was more than one shooter, ... And even though it was a drive-by shooting, it wasn't random. The shooters and the victims were acquainted.

Greg Thompson

Anytime you have a point guard who can get in there and draw a lot of defense and kick it, it makes it easy on the shooters. She?s really matured a lot from last year. I think she realizes now how important she is in our offense and what abilities she really has to make everything work.

Ann Strother

He's one of the best shooters in the league and we found him in transition. He ran right to the line and when he gets his feet set, he can shoot with the best of them. Those shots kind of put (Portland) away.

Dirk Nowitzki

You have to give North Edgecombe credit; they never stopped fighting. They have some incredible shooters.

Dudley Etheridge

We played another good defensive game and got out on their shooters.

Ron Boyea

Both of our teams are very similar. We like to go inside, they like to go inside. We have good shooters, they have good shooters. We play hard on defense and they play hard on defense. I told my team if they beat them on the boards, then we will win. And that's what they did.

Deb Baber

That first half they didn't miss many shots. If they kept shooting like that I knew it was going to be a long game. They've got good shooters.

Adam Houdeshell

What can you say? They are a tough team. They are great shooters and play aggressive defense. Jennie Noreen is a great player who we unfortunately get to see for two more years.

Jackie Parsley

Fortunately we shot the ball well, we shot the ball better as the game went along. We expect that. We have several good outside shooters.

Lisa Mandeville

Our coach told us to get out on the shooters, make sure they put the ball on the floor and play help defense. We just turned our defense up and played up-tempo.

Chris Adams

They've got great shooters and great inside players. They were a better team today.

Brad Podevels

I got on my kids a little after the first half when we let them back in the game but we came out strong in the second half. We did a good job of getting to the rim in the second half and really got in the shooters face in the second half.

Harry Bosley

There wasn't anyone near the shooters. They're too good of a shooting team to give open shots to. We just laid down. That erased everything we'd done in the first half.

Kevin Furtado

I want to be able to be excellent and Georgetown showed us what that's supposed to look like. I was glad we got to be able to see what shooters, when they shoot to score, what that looks like, and passing and catching. We have the capability, we just need to make sure we hold ourselves accountable.

Jen Larsen

He's a great shooter. We were there defensively a lot of the time and he still made shots. That's what great shooters do. He really got it going in the second half.

Brevin Knight

It (stinks). That's about all I can think of. We knew they probably had a couple shooters but he was hitting everything.

Cory Boone

They're a lot like us. They're not real big. They're very guard-oriented. They have a couple good shooters. We're probably a little quicker. It should be a good game.

Terry Mancini

It kind of eases the pressure off the shooters outside. It's nice having a big inside presence like Shaun.

Brandon D'amico

Steve played fired-up tonight. He was taking hits and still finishing plays inside. When he can score inside it opens up things for our shooters.

Sean Foster

I didn't sleep for two days thinking about this game. Reed has too many good shooters.

Brian Voyles

It's really hard to play without her, because not only is she one of our best 3-point shooters, I think she's one of the best in the league. We don't have anybody that can shoot the ball like she can.

Machelle Joseph

We weren't in the shooters' faces. And then we were not physical enough on the boards.

Lynne Agee

We wanted to get some pressure on the 3-point shooters and make sure we had a hand in their face.

Ashley Andrews

Both teams have really good defenses. They have one big girl (Brittany Brown) who stays in the paint a lot. They also have a few shooters, but I'm not nervous.

Megan Braby

Crystal is a great player, ... She is one of the best shooters in the league. Unfortunately she broke her pink finger and she hasn't been shooting the ball as well since, but you have consider her other attributes just as much, and those are her great defense, her rebounding and just being intelligent on the court. She brings a lot to the table.

Vickie Johnson

The shooters showed consistency and stood up well against the strong England defenders.

Megan Simpson

During that stretch we had some communications breakdowns. We just weren't finding their shooters, and they have a lot of people who can score.

Megan Duffy

I knew our shooters were going to break out. We have four or five kids that can put the ball in the hole. We have worked on it a lot. Once a couple shots went in our mental outlook was a ton better.

Willie Thornton

Chelsea is one of the most accurate 3-point shooters I've been around. But she did more than that. She led us in every way this season.

Dave Swanson

They (Trinity's shooters) did a really good job when they needed to. They've been slowly getting better all year, and they peaked at just right the time. The competition was incredibly tough. We knew we had to shoot 800 to have a chance.

John Husk

They're the best team in our district, no doubt. They've got a bunch of shooters and when you've got shooters, you can do things.

Jimmy Young

I told the girls to try to drive in and penetrate the lane and then kick it out to our shooters. A few times we were able to pull them off the three-point line, and that's when we got most of our open looks.

Shauna Humphries

Both of those guys have a lot of confidence. And we as a team have a lot of confidence in them. They were missing early but I tell them all the time a shooter's job is to shoot. Luckily, they warmed up in the fourth quarter.

Dave Cook

This coffee plunges into the stomach...the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle.... Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters.

Honore De Balzac

We did a great job finding their shooters in the second half.

Fang Mitchell

She's one of the best all-around, best skilled and great shooters. This kid can play and she's extremely dedicated. I think Division I (colleges) should start thinking of her.

Darold Imanaka

It was hard to relax much before then. With their three-point shooters and press, nine points can be made up in 25 seconds or less. So, that's why we couldn't get too comfortable until the last seconds.

Randy Yoder

I thought we played with a lot of energy, but we just didn't shoot the ball very well. We were atrocious at the line. We got some good free throw shooters there at the line near the end and that helped.

Mark Coffman

You have to give Stagg all the credit. They run the best offense in the conference. They use back screens and chips screens that free up their outside shooters.

Bob Koskosky

We played a lot better this time against Myrtle Point than last time. We could not get any second chance shots. We are getting better but we don't have any shooters yet.

Maranda Brownson

Defense has been the key for us so far. It's carried us all year when we can close on their shooters.

Walter Jordan

We're straight shooters. We would do a disservice if we weren't honest with them.

Candice Westbrook

We played pretty good -- we had some trouble in the first half leaving their shooters open, and that hurt us.

Kelly Ioane

There's no doubt they deserve their No. 5 ranking. They have a wonderful inside player in George, two great shooters on the outside and so many others who are so skilled one-on-one.

Pat Sullivan

We've got good perimeter shooters. We're one of the best perimeter shooting teams I've coached.

Tom Suelzle

Our game plan is to work from the inside out. We want to get inside and then when that starts to get taken away we can kick that ball out to our 3-point shooters.

Mike Trewick

They weren't shooting well. I think their shooters had an off night, but we'll take it.

Liz Darger

We didn't buckle down on the defensive end, ... We didn't take care of our individual defense. We had to give too much help, so we left shooters open.

Vickie Johnson

We've got to locate their shooters. They're going to get the ball up and down and we've got to find their shooters.

Casey Durham

I felt like defensively we took away what we wanted to. We wanted to get out on their shooters.

Darrin Scott

They took (the three-point game) away from us by getting up in our shooters on the perimeter. We've got to score better inside when people play us that way.

Rick Byrd

Mac and Kelsey, they can stroke it pretty well. They're very confident shooters, as any good shooter should be.

Julie Matheny

They're a pretty good team. They've got some pretty good guards. They're quick, usually pretty good shooters. It's going to be a good game. The big key is going to be establishing our game inside.

Ryan Bowman

We started fouling their jump shooters and allowed some dribble penetration.

Bernie Buniak

West Jeff is another dangerous team, just like Northridge. They've got a couple of real good shooters. They're not big, but they'll probably press us (defensively) most of the game.

Doug Griffin

He feels confident knowing that he beat that team just a few days ago. He just got a look at their shooters. Especially a team that we haven't seen that often. This is just the second time and he's the only guy that's seen them.

Joey Mullen

It's hard to determine what we would face with them. I do know they have quick guards and two good outside shooters that are strong at the perimeter.

Roy Pinkston

They had a nice run to begin the second half so I told the guys they had to tighten up the defense. From that point on, we did a nice job of shutting down their shooters.

Tim Loomis

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

Deke Routheaux

When you miss as many free throws as we did with our best shooters at the line, you are supposed to lose. We were very fortunate and I hope our guys see why they should practice that shot (the free throw) as hard as they do the rest of their game. I'm afraid they don't do that.

Herbert Greene

She's one of the best shooters in the league. If you leave her open from 10 to 13 feet, she buries it. You try to slow her down and she still gets her 18. We haven't really slowed her down yet.

Nick Adams

That was a concern of mine (playing zone) because I thought they were great shooters as well. They shot less than 25 percent (from 3-point range), so it worked for us.

Jeremy Cox

No. 11 (Cobb) and No. 2 (Jones) are pretty good 3-point shooters, but our philosophy tonight was to keep the ball away from them, a lot. And that's one of the things I thought we did well.

Theresa Adams

I keep telling the girls good free-throw shooters are made during the summer. Once you get into the season you keep practicing them but you're really not going to improve all that much.

Doug Griffin

It was a great team effort. We've got some real good shooters out there, and they relaxed and shot the ball.

Allen Green

Yeah, because when I went to the hole, it was all open, and that opened up our shooters. And then they dropped down to try and stop me from going to the hole.

Janisha Gearlds

It was about sticking to their shooters and making Scott Gillespie earn it. The way Ripon plays and the way they're coached, they play pretty well. And they just kept coming.

Jon Murphy

We watched some film on them and we knew that they were great hustlers and shooters. They came out strong in the fourth and we just wore down from there. We were unable to get any kind of rhythm going in our game.

Lisa Dehaan

We just try to encourage him. His No. 1 job is to shoot, and we know sometimes shooters aren't always on, but the best way to come out of a shooting slump is to keep shooting, and that's what we encourage him to do.

Andre Cook

It was pretty much back and forth all night. Give all the credit to Butternut. They have some good shooters and they knocked down some big shots late.

Matt Berger

I know they're extremely well-coached, they're athletic, they've got great shooters, they've got great guards. They find openings, they do a lot of ball screening, they penetrate and attack and try to kick to the open guy, and they do a great job crashing the offensive boards because they get you so spread out.

Craig Teagle

Fauquier, they got shooters, man. You can't let up on them. You always got to play defense. Those 3-pointers they score are quick points.

Daryl Poole

He's done that a couple of times this year, right when we needed him to. He's one the best pure shooters we have on our team and the good thing is he's not afraid to shoot.

Brian Lecheler

When we did get looks we weren't knocking them down, and they were hitting their shots and locating their shooters.

Lora Staveness

They're always dangerous because of their shooters. We struggled at times, but any time you can come out with a win, it's a good thing.

Chico Furtado

Tonight, he kept with it. He did what good shooters are supposed to do. He kept shooting. He had some real good looks that didn't go down, and then he made the big ones when the game was on the line. There was nothing about coaching there. That's about a kid between the lines and getting the job done.

Tom Neises

She is one of those shooters, you love them because they have no memory. Packer could miss eight in a row and be convinced she's going to make No. 9.

Jim Foster

Porterville kept fouling the wrong people. The ones they fouled are excellent free throw shooters.

Grant Miller

We felt that we could play with these guys. They're shooters and they jumped on us quick. Still, we felt we could win this if we came together and played Seaside basketball.

Jermaine Carter

The best shooter produced by this state in a long time, and one of the top shooters in the country, was an all-state football player and loved the weight room. I don't know what the problem is, but football is not it.

Dave Buchanan

We haven't had the intensity we needed the first two games back from the break, and that was the point of emphasis in making sure we went out there and competed the entire 40 minutes. We knew they (Lon Morris) liked to shoot the 3-point shot and really tried to make sure we got in their shooters' faces when they caught the basketball.

Bill Foy

We knew going in we had to get out on their 3-point shooters and I thought we did a good job with that. Our defense was the difference in tonight's game.

Mark Ehlen

Shooters keep shooting. I'm not going to make every shot, but I kept shooting and I knew it was going to fall.

Chamberlain Oguchi

They're one of the top teams in the state. They have three kids who can flat-out score. We're going to need to recognize their shooters.

Bart Manson

This was a very good practice for the shooters.

Sunny Thomas

We look at creating two possessions to the other team's one or trading a 3 for their 2. It's an advantage for kids who are just set shooters. I haven't found too many kids who can make a head fake, dribble in and pull up for a jumper.

Sean Donovan

They're much more powerful shooters. Hofstra was able to score where we didn't.

Bill Tierney

Middlesex is a good team and very athletic. They had a great game plan. Our jump shooters just weren't getting their shots.

Bernie Buniak

We've been a second-half team all year. We stayed out on the shooters, and made some defensive stops.

Matt Finke

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

Hall is a big kid on the block. He sets up the inside-outside game, and Lon Morris has some good shooters.

Scott Schumacher

We wanted them to take long shots, but they have great shooters.

Billy Taylor

Petaluma is a good team. They have good shooters and they play hard.

Dan Sack

Somehow we've gotta stop Harrison and stop the outside shooters, but I don't know how we're going to do it.

Jim Gresh

They can shoot the ball well from anywhere. If you're not covering they can hit the outside shot. It doesn't matter if you are playing 2-3, 3-2 or man. We did a poor job at the end of the first half finding the shooters.

Patrick Thornhill

That's big in a situation and game like this. Fortunately, we got the ball in the right hands of our good free-throw shooters and they knocked them down.

Brian Perkes

We've played them before. They have so many shooters we have to defend. We just have to go out there, execute our game plan and stick to it.

Larry Kruse

We have good 3-point shooters. When we get them in our offense, it's much better than when we take them just because we can't get it inside.

Leslie Verslues

Wow. That's pretty good. We work on it a lot in practice, and we've got a lot, a lot of good shooters, too.

Robert Kreps

You can't slack off of good shooters. We let our guard down a little bit and it cost us.

Terry Jarrett

West Port is a different animal. They have speed. They can press. They have big bodies inside. They have three-point shooters and they have two-point shooters. We are going to have to come out and put forth a great effort, to where we have a chance in the end.

Ron Allan

He made some great saves throughout the game. We had a couple of guys all alone on him. ... He kind of had our shooters guessing a little bit. He played a great third period, a great game ... but a great third period.

Brendan Shanahan

They're such good shooters. We talked about at halftime how we just can't give them open looks. The last three games we have made huge runs at the beginning of the third quarter.

Phil Weaver

Delmar is one of the best shooters I have seen in my 13 years of coaching. He is a quiet competitor who does not show a lot of emotion, but plays with a lot of passion and heart.

Juno Pintar

I said it all season long, we don't have many outside shooters. Therefore, we have to work it around and see if we can find the gaps in the zones and work it on the inside.

Del Ruiter

I thought we played our usual good defense in the game holding some of their outstanding outside shooters down.

Rick Wood

We've been expecting Al to step up like that all year. I think he's one of the best shooters in the area. Once he believes in that, he's going to take off and really help us.

Andre Cook

If we knock down a couple shots, it's a totally different basketball game. At the end of regulation and overtime, two of our better shooters got good looks. They've just got to knock them down. I'm not faulting them on that, but we've just got to make some shots.

Bret Reedy

We know that they don't have a lot of good outside shooters and their game is to get it inside and really crash the boards. We knew we had to box out well and control the boards. We did the little things right that we needed to do to win the game.

Adam Luchterhand

We can put five shooters on the floor at one time, which can create a lot of mismatch problems for other teams, having their big man step outside a little bit more and spreading the floor. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Justin Doellman

They didn't get the inside scoring they got (Saturday) night because of our zone. And their shooters I think were tired from the last two games. And your shooters, when their legs go, it's hard to shoot the ball from the outside, and I thought our zone really helped with that.

Don Horwood

They're a very, very hungry team; they're scrappy. In Johnson and Thornton, they have two very athletic big men who really go after it hard, and they have good shooters around those two guys. And they're a very athletic team.

Demarcus Nelson

He played really well. He made some big saves. They have some very good shooters.

Derek Keenan

I thought Daniel and Austin did a real good job all game on the perimeter. We did a good job closing out on their shooters most of the night. (Hamilton Co.) does so many things that you have to adjust. Sometimes you get lost, and we messed up a couple of times, but we played well on defense overall.

Greg Goodley

They both know if they are open they can shoot. They are good outside shooters. When they are both hitting it's impossible to guard them.

Charles Freet

We usually get stops in the second half, and then the three-pointers just keep coming. We have a lot of shooters, from our big men to everybody down to the one - even off the bench.

Ben Kenyon

We always knew where their shooters were so we could close in on them.

Lisa Dutton

They've got good shooters. We're used to playing teams with a lot of good shooters. As long as we come out and play defense, our offense will come.

Ton Ton Balenga

Kevin did a good job. We also did well inside. We got good games from Cory Jordan and Jared King — not necessarily scoring but defending inside so that we could spread out on the shooters.

Beau Thompson

I think it is somewhat protected because guys are better shooters, and I also think that a player with that kind of ability would go early [to the NBA]. Never is a long time.

Dickie Hemric

Our zone defense was pretty effective tonight - just being able to point their shooters up. And it was also easy to play because we had the big lead.

Brad Bjorkgren

I told them we had to do a better job defensively. We had to get out on the shooters and help each other when the penetration came on the kick-outs.

Doug Haynes

If you allow Lindsay to front you, you'll get in foul trouble. You can't double team her because of their 3-point shooters. You have to play some honest defense.

Mike Turnan

Once we were down we thought we could get back into it by making shots and making good plays. You get down by three or four, it's all right. But if you're down 10 or 12 it's really hard, no matter how good your shooters are, to get back into it.

Kevin Pittsnogle

The coach stressed doubling the big man. We had to shade Connie and No. 10 (Jamal Daniel) because they were the only real shooters they had. If we doubled (Nelson), we'd be pretty well off.

Andre Walker

I was so proud of our defensive effort tonight. I thought that was the key to the game. We had to slow down their motion offense, get to their shooters and control the glass. I was pleased with how we executed our game plan.

Marty Bell

(Coffman's) pretty good. They're definitely not as tall as Brookhaven, but they've got a couple pretty good guys inside and a couple good shooters.

Orlando Mccoy

We've got some really good shooters on this team. I am thinking about letting them call the offense as long as they share the ball, and I'll just concentrate on defense and rebounding.

Monte Towe

We lost our focus a little and they got some shooters loose, and they made shots to their credit. Then when we have some opportunities to score we didn't shoot the ball well. We don't have enough in the tank when Guillermo doesn't score and Anthony doesn't have some kind of night. It's going to be tough for us.

Frank Haith

Great shooters sometimes miss shots. The good thing about him is he's a sophomore. And even after that first half, he kept confidence in himself.

Bryan Tucker

We just made some bad decisions leading to turnovers. We didn't close down on their outside shooters in some key spots and they knocked the shots down.

Brian Stevens

Being able to come here and play them in the sectional finals, it's going to be a big game. They have the shooters on their team, we have shooters on our team. They have their posts, we have ours. I definitely think we match up well with them.

Bailey Hansen

We came out focused, with good energy to start the game. Guys were talking, rotating, stopping dribble penetration and getting out on the shooters.

Quinton Ross

Very adverse shooting conditions. But shooting has always been my strength. Like skiers who prefer a more difficult course, shooters who are comfortable prefer more difficult shooting conditions. So I was able to find a little bit of success.

Walt Shepard

Among shooters, we are waiting with bated breath.

Simon Clarke

We were worried about what to do defensively. We knew they had good players. Up until the opening tip, we were not sure what we were going to do. But with a few exceptions, we found their shooters real well and hit the boards well.

Jamey Collins

That's been a big weakness of ours the last couple of years. We don't have real strong outside shooters.

Paul Althaus

The shooters had mistaken me for someone else. I entered a total rebellious phase. It completely changed me.

Daddy Yankee

In the Big East, every team comes at me. We'll keep doing what we do and just run the offense and things will come. If they want to stop me from getting the ball, we have great shooters and guys who can get stuff going. The ball doesn't always have to go through my hands.

Roy Hibbert

I hit some shots and then the outside game began clicking. They really had to respect our outside shooters, and it really opened it up inside for me.

Jessica Davenport

They're just a very good team. They've got excellent shooters, they're well-coached, they're very smart and they're playing real well.

Mark Lee

It was just leave the middle to me and get to all their shooters.

Lamarcus Aldridge

We had Wake Forest down 17 points in the second half and lost. I still remember (Wake coach) Bones (McKinney) and his red socks. We should have won that game. We had four 80 percent foul shooters, but we didn't have a slow-down game.

Bud Cronin

It was our shooters who had four fouls. We didn't want them to foul just foul.

Dallas Dockter

I guess I like shooting here. It's a shooters arena. I got some good looks and the shots just went down.

Colin Falls

I had to keep shooting it. I'm one of the shooters on this team, and if I'm going to get it done, I have to put up the shots.

Cartier Martin

He is one of our best outside shooters AND one of our best post-up players. He passes well and creates things. Every game, he's playing more and more within the team.

Rich Brennan

Those were our best two shooters.

Steve Hawkins

Defensively, our press hurt them and we scored a lot of those points in transition off of steals. We rotated very well and got hands up on their shooters. We were mainly just concentrating on defense.

Tony Camillucci

Roselle Park did a great job of taking some of our shooters away with some real solid defense. Then with Travis getting hurt, that made it even tougher for us.

Bernie Buniak

We expect to shoot free throws well. Our kids are good shooters and we expect them to be able to make them from the line.

Jim Stafford

He's really turned himself on this year. He stays square to all the shooters and cuts down a lot of the net.

Jeff Horvath

Drew is tough as nails. It was our team defense that won the game for us. We were able to close out their shooters on the perimeter. It was just a great team effort.

Corey Turner

Jeff might have been forcing the issue a little bit [in the first half], but once he let things come to him a little bit, we did a better job setting some screens and getting him open against the zone. He's one of the best shooters around and he came up big for us in the second half.

Scot Wenzel

They came out in the first half and were just stroking it. We finally started switching up, which was actually what we were supposed to be doing from the beginning but we just started listening to coach ... We were just supposed to be switching up on players and getting out on their shooters and make them beat us from the inside.

Jeff Feenstra

That we won with our defense, that's no surprise. North has better shooters than we do. We just hoped we could score enough to stay in the game, then win it with defense.

Jennifer Shoaf

She does so many great things for us. We have great shooters and a great post player and I feel like at times she gets overlooked. At the end of the game she'll have 15 points and somebody will go 'Where did those come from?' And it's every game, she is solid that way. She is the type of girl who would say 'I do it for the team.

Deb Henderson

They win a lot of games with their power play. They score at the right time. They have shooters on the point, and they have scorers who have an instinct for the puck.

Jacques Lemaire

That ices games for us. We've got great shooters, but we knew they were going to foul us at the end. Making free throws really helped us win the game.

Henry Uhegwu

The second half, we were getting the same things we got in the first half. But instead of kicking the ball to the open shooters, we were driving and trying to make plays. And they got us into their game, and we're not as good in a half-court game.

Tracy English

She's a good ball-handler. She handles pressure. She sees the floor real well and gets the ball to the shooters where they want to get it. I have so much confidence when the ball's in her hands.

Donna Nicholson

They're good shooters. They just missed. But our kids played their hearts out.

Mark Bailey

We have to get out there and get to the shooters and at least put a hand in their face to make it a tough shot.

Todd Galloway

They got out and covered us better on the perimeter. They did a better job of shielding our shooters and getting out and getting a hand up. There were a couple of fouls that were missed on 3-pointers right in front of us, but that didn't beat us.

Dickey Nutt

He's an offensive player. He was on with his shooting and he was playing good defense. He's got a shooter's mentality. And the three at the end: God bless him.

Joe Killilea

They're both really good 3-point shooters. It didn't matter which one shot it as long as one of them got a really good look at it. It's got a 50-50 chance of going in if they shoot it. Fortunately for us it was the right 50.

Rob Evans

That's three great shooters that can change the game in couple of minutes. We're going to be dangerous. It's going to be good as long as we are smart, we keep the aggressiveness for 48 minutes and everybody thinks for the better of the team.

Manu Ginobili

We had some last-minute miscues and we ended up losing 47-53. Sometimes in a zone (defense) you can lose sight of shooters - and that's what we did.

Nate Johnson

As small as we are, if we can hold even against everyone we play, we've got a chance to win the basketball game. We have such good ball handlers and shooters.

Larry Bullington

Most of the kids here are recreational shooters. Lars comes from a competitive background.

Steve Siegel

This is a good way to finish 2005, and hopefully we can go into January doing some of the things we did. Niagara has dangerous shooters, and we can't look ahead to Canisius. We have to take one game at a time and hopefully we can come out with a pair of wins.

Brian Giorgis

If you shoot right-handed, the Game Ear works best in the left ear. Many guides and active shooters use two Game Ears to better pinpoint sounds such as a gobbling turkey.

Bob Walker

They shot the ball real well and I was disappointed in our defense. We weren't getting out on their shooters and I thought Hansen got some good looks. We didn't adjust and (Taylor) Whitley did a great job of attacking the basket.

Mike Hofland

It was another one of those games where it just didn't feel like we had a real convincing lead. They were a very scrappy team. They didn't have the greatest shooters or the greatest post men, but they hustled very well.

Doug Nofziger

They were really adept at finding the open man. They're obviously a talented group — you don't win 17 of 19 without some talent. They're good shooters and they have the ability to force you just a half-step or so out of your range when you're looking to get off shots.

Rich Kolimas

We've been blessed with some shooters. Overall, this was our best game (of the season). Our freshmen came up big. They don't care what the situation is. They stay cool and composed.

Keith Hennig

The focus of the game was to play quality defense. We knew this World Select Team had shooters and would execute, so our focus was not to leave anybody open and the guys did a pretty good job of doing that.

Herman Harried

We have excellent shooters and had good rotation, but sometimes that just happens.

Gentry Affholter

That's what they do ? we knew that coming in ? but they're hard to defend because they do a great job of spacing and sharing the ball. We have to rotate faster (to their shooters) and pre-rotate on the pick and roll. We have to have better discipline on defense.

Anthony Goldwire

This was, by far, our best defensive effort of the year. We were playing the passing lanes, we were aware of where their shooters were, and when they shot the ball, we contested everything.

Rich Wolf

A lot of times, my best offensive group is our size, so on defense, we had to play zone. And when you play zone, you lose the shooters. We didn't do a good job of keeping up with where their shooters were.

Steve Moody

It's some of our first shooters' time in the outdoors, we are going to use this tournament for experience.

Kari Granville

We thought if we got ahead it would be good to spread the floor and take away that height advantage Gorman had. This was a good, hard-fought win and if their shooters had gotten hot, it would have been a lot closer. We have a lot of respect for Gorman.

Todd Duncan

Thurston has some great shooters, but our defense just got in their face and shut them down.

Dusty Auxier

Normally, we're good free-throw shooters. We were lucky to hang on and get it.

Bret Teutken

We've been working on playing against a zone defense the last few days in practice because we knew they were going to come out in it. They weren't coming out on us at all, so whoever was open was shooting. We're all good 3-point shooters.

Kayla Gushee

I've been working a lot since the conference tournament on just getting up some extra shots. It's a great court out here. They've got great rims and they're nice to shoot on. They're shooters rims.

Megan Moody

We just had a terrible start. It's hard to say what happened. It was on their court, and they do have some good shooters. But at the same time there is no excuse for giving up 25 points in one quarter, and no excuse for one kid having four 3's in the first quarter.

Dave Wessel

We've had field checkers and trouble shooters out all night long, and we've had linemen out in the field. Obviously, our goal is to get power restored as quickly as possible.

Leigh Morris

The pro shooters at national competitions are the best in the world.

Brian Meyers

That's kind of our game. We have some pretty good shooters.

Paul Alioto

They did a good job of getting their shooters open. That kept them in the ballgame.

Angie Lucier

I had fun after I made a few saves. They were without a lot of their big guns. I didn't face the best shooters, so I'm not too excited about it. I'm sure it will be different with Mario [Lemieux] and [Sidney] Crosby in their lineup. Overall it was a good start for me.

Dominik Hasek

We wanted to cover both their shooters. We thought either Daly or Murray would shoot. We were right, we just didn't happen to get out. Give the girl credit, (Daly) made an outstanding shot.
