When you play a competitive game like this, it's going to be a game of runs. We had one early and they came back. We just got out of sync and rhythm offensively. In the third quarter we had some shots we normally make. They didn't go down. They played very good defense and made it tough on us to score.

Aaron Rosenberg

Big shots are only little shots who kept on shooting.

Dale Carnegie

An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots.

Charles F. Kettering

I shot in on a couple of shots and I thought I had it. I just didn't close and he just kind of flattened me and turned me.

Andrew Smith

He?s the zone buster. He?s not afraid to take those shots.

Nick Van Exel

They had a small team, so I knew we could intimidate them by blocking shots and going to the hole.

Ramon Dyer

The ball just wasn't dropping for us tonight, and Poland wasn't hitting many shots either.

Doug Sautter

Consistency doesn't matter if everyone shoots 100. We all struggled in the conditions and left many shots out there. If you asked everyone on the team, I'm sure they would tell you that they could have shot at least 5 shots better if given another chance.

Sharla Cloutier

David Johnson thrives on this kind of stuff. He loves the pressure. He loves the big shots. He wasn't feeling well before the game. I'm not sure if it was nerves or what.

Gary Capaldi

It was a big breakout night for him. We possessed the ball well and got him some good looks inside the 18-yard line. It was good to see him get his foot on the ball in scoring position. We were pretty efficient. At one stretch, we had five goals on six shots.

Tim Becker

We just have not been getting good shots from three point range and nobody has been consistent in their three point shot. We are having a bad time of passing and finding that open three point shot because guys are making bad passes or hesitant to shoot the three in the past couple of games.

John Marhefka

If the flu shots can be put to good use to help someone who needs them, that's great, but it does not change Comptroller Hynes' position that the state of Illinois and the taxpayers of Illinois are not responsible for the payment of flu shots that we never received.

Carol Knowles

I don't know if I'd call it a slow-down game. Everybody was just missing a lot of shots. But in the end, we held them down, too, so it was goo enough.

Rocky Weaver

At that point I thought we were down, but not out. Our shots weren't falling and we never got into a rhythm.

Lisa Zak

We got off to a really slow start offensively. But I thought our defense made up for that and played really well and didn't give them any easy shots.

Lelani Gordon

We got a lot better looks, penetrated and got shots in the paint.

Wil Smudde

I don't know how many good shots they put up. I know they missed a lot of shots, but I don't know how many were forced or hurried, but I would say quite a few of them were. They were frustrated and pressure defense can do that to a team.

Buell Gonzales Jr

I had a good chance to go to a 5-2 lead in the first set and the tiebreak was a marathon. I played a couple of good points, but he came up with some big shots. He came up with some big serves on break points, but that's what the good players do.

Peter Luczak

Our energy wasn't there and we were out of sync. Their guards penetrated and all of their shots were in the middle. They drove at will and that's what killed us.

Necolia Simmons

I think we're going to stick in man and make them make shots over us instead of over the zone. This game is big, it's crucial - try to get some of our respect back.

David Cornwell

David is a very good athlete who can score, rebound and block shots. We're excited that he chose Northern Kentucky University. He was regarded by several recruiting services as one of the top 100 high school players, so he has a great deal of talent and ability.

Dave Bezold

I just tried to be active on the boards and hit open shots.

Jordan Hasquet

Naugatuck came out very fired up and was very aggressive, and we were flat. We were missing so many inside shots. Shots just weren't falling for us.

Nick Augelli

Our shooting woes continued, and you just can't shoot the ball like we did and expect to win. They played the zone against us pretty much the entire game and we weren't able to hit shots to get us over the hump.

Adam Houdeshell

After last game, we needed to get Jazz more into our offense today. She was 12-for-12 from the floor last game and this one she only took seven shots. But our entire offense couldn't do anything against Rutgers. They shut us down.

Tom Collen

We knew both posts would play a big role, especially the way (Wilson) leads her team. But everybody on the floor for us chipped in a lot, and ended up making a lot of shots.

Stephanie Gamble

We dominated this game and just couldn't get the ball in the net. It's as simple as that. I really didn't make any adjustments because we were right there where we wanted to be. We just couldn't make the shots.

Tessy Manuel

We had more good ball movement, made more plays and knocked down more shots in the second half than in the previous three weeks combined. It was a better game than the final score. We got a lot of things to build on.

Scott Ballard

We still missed too many. They went to the Y today and shot foul shots, about half of them. It was a little bit of an improvement, not as much as we'd like to see.

Bob Blake

Andrew hit some big shots for us that kept us close early. I think that surprised them and they did a better job defensively on him in the second half.

Dan Stephens

We started hitting shots. You credit the guys for not panicking at halftime (and) sticking with it.

Jon Murphy

It's frustrating. We need for somebody step up and start making shots and take control.

Josh King

He was making shots in the first half. We were getting hands up when he was shooting the ball and he was making them. We stepped up and (Jarrett) Jack and I really played the best we could to keep him in front of us, and he was missing shots.

Steve Blake

On the road we just haven't played up to out potential. Today (Saturday) we defended well and forced them (South Carolina State) to take bad shots.

Debra Clark

They didn't do anything we didn't expect them to do. We just didn't make our shots, and when that happens you're going to have a hard time winning in this league.

Joe Hillock

I'm not real big on going with the wind. It takes shots off (the mark). I think they needed to calm down some. That's why I think going against the wind balls were able to stay lower and give us better scoring opportunities.

Chris Leshinski

They were fast and I think we were a little bit tired there in the PK round, which made the shots go off a little bit.

Trevor Waters

Claire played a very tough match. She played four hard games, and Claire was finally able to counter-attack her off her short shots and win the fifth game. It was a good effort on her part.

Gail Ramsay

Because of us not receiving those additional 15,000 doses, we are prioritizing the shots we have for high-risk patients.

Susan Wilson

Sooner or later we've got to beat them. We rushed a few shots and that's when the lead spreads from seven or eight to 14 or 15.

Keith Andrews

I've hit big shots, big plays, but this is the biggest play I've ever made. This was great. Coming off a four-game skid, to get a tough win like that is just tremendous.

Terrence Roberts

We got some turnovers early and we were able to take advantage of that and get some easy shots. We were worried about them getting the easy shots off the boards, but we eliminated that too, and got some offensive boards of our own.

Mark Senftner

I was trying to find a combination of guys dedicated to hustling and playing defense. But you expend twice as much energy to catch up, then you're exhausted. We took a couple ill-advised shots at the end.

Tom Thacker

I've been working on my swing a lot and coming down the stretch I made some good shots. It's definitely encouraging. I made some good putts and I played very well this week.

Nick Watney

We just took it to them and got them in foul trouble. We got some big three's from Jacqueline and some big shots from Sara. We just exploded on offense and were patient.

Nikki Tartaglia

All the shots that we've been making all year, they just didn't fall tonight.

Curtis Hunter

When Jon plays like he can, nobody can stop him. He played big for us and made some crucial shots.

Jon Karnuth

We didn't get a lot of shots. We are improving every day, though.

Jeff Richards

I thought Hughes played some great minutes down the stretch for us. He is not normally playing during crunch time, but I thought he hit some big shots and kept his composure for us.

Jeff Price

We're going to have to spray bleach or something. And I am going to take my kids and get their shots.

Diane White

I just had a hand in my face every time. I probably didn't take the best shots, but at the same time I did take the same shots I normally make. I had bad day. I'm not going to make any excuses. They just weren't falling.

Kamela Gissendanner

He was a true big man down low for us. He made some big shots and played tough. He pretty much did what he wanted to.

Nathan Bilyeu

We'll miss some shots, but that won't change our kids' way of playing. Our kids play with a lot of confidence, and I have a lot of confidence in them to let them shoot as many 3-pointers as they do.

Jim Stafford

It just took the ball out of my hands. It made other people make shots.

Ryan Evanochko

They made shots in the fourth quarter, and we didn't.

Mark Slotsve

They made some tough shots and we got a little frustrated. We weren't getting calls on one end, I think there was a nine-and-a-half minute stretch where they didn't have a defensive foul. You don't see that too often.

Josh Nauman

He can shoot. I know that flat out. Guys like that, you've really got to respect their jump shots.

Anthony Harris

Everybody has to pick their game up. I felt it was on myself to come out and take some shots. It's been paying off, and we've seen it paying off in games.

Folarin Campbell

Andrew was a lot better on his feet and he was taking good shots, but he was not finishing his takedowns and it cost him. Once the guy was on top, he was just wearing Andrew down.

Jim Melvin

He's used to calling his own shots.

Ned Bennett

The shots wouldn't fall. I want to thank my seniors for their great leadership.

Aub Boucher

We had some good looks, but we just didn't make shots. We have a lot of game remaining on the schedule. We just have t o come out and play well.

Dee Romine

I'm getting a lot of wide-open shots, wide-open looks.

Flip Murray

He has great hands and I think his defense helps him in the sense that they force a lot of bad shots and he's there to gobble them all up. Teams aren't shooting a high percentage so there's a lot more rebounds to be had and he's doing a great job of grabbing them.

Gary Close

She played amazing defense and contributed a lot on offense, especially early. She hit some big shots that I think had a lot to do with them taking the zone out and putting in a man-to-man.

Caitlin Hyduke

It's not going to be an overnight sensation. My concern is that people will assume they are now free of insulin shots.

Robert Goldstein

A hot goaltender in hockey can sometimes take you far and we were fortunate to slip two shots behind Gabby today.

Michele Amidon

Our blockers were late on her. If we could have gotten hands on her (shots) we could've stopped her, but we couldn't even get our hands on her, because our blockers weren't anticipating.

Bertha Ortiz

Our composure offensively was not good from that standpoint. When he got it in there, he scored. We missed him and settled for some shots instead of getting him some touches in there. That hurt us a little bit.

Forrest Larson

Coaches have been doing a great job keeping my confidence level up. We've been coming in a lot at night putting extra shots in. That's been the turnaround in my game, in my shooting touch.

Adam Haluska

That big run put us where we needed to be. We played good defense and the press really got to Mountainburg early and it got us some easy shots. That's the way we like to play.

Alan Barton

We pass by the mission every day on our way to our clinic in Keizer. And then we had this great idea of giving flu shots to the homeless.

Robin Morton

We'll tweak our offense to work with the personnel we have. And we have to work to get the right people shots.

Kelly Kennedy

We've taken some shots for us not having enough energy. That's not going to be the case anymore.

Rick Torres

It's not a surprise to us. We're used to seeing (him hit those shots) in practice.

Rick Rudesill

In that first half, they gave us their best shot and we were right there. With the exception of a couple rimmed-out shots on our part, we were a point or two away. We played our guts out.

Todd Rogers

We have to play to our potential, play the game at our pace, go to the boards, follow our shots and make our foul shots.

Janise Bass

Our defense has been solid. They are not giving up many shots and keeping most of them from the outside.

Jim Motyka

We thought we had some momentum going to start the second half (back to a 10-point deficit), but they kept hitting their shots.

Mike Chere

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

It had to come to an end sometime. We played hard and didn't give up, but our shots weren't falling. They got us out of sync a little bit.

Charles Burks

We couldn't contain Dean. A couple of times we played very good defense on him, and he made really hard shots.

Chris Mooney

When Kountze shoots like they did tonight, there isn't a team out there that can beat them. They are a great team already, and when they make even some of the shots they made tonight, it is tough to even stay with them.

Hank Hargraves

I think free-throws were the difference in the game. You can't miss those shots.

Larry Mikesell

We didn't tell them anything they didn't already know. We felt like we needed to be more aggressive. We did catch a little life there towards the end of the second quarter, but we weren't being aggressive at either end. We were settling for 3-point shots and needed to attack the rim a little more.

Dick Corn

Their pressure was too much for us in a couple of those runs. They pressured us into some ill-advised passes and some ill-advised shots.

Matt Painter

He's hit a lot of shots like that since he's been here. I kind of had a feeling he would hit it.

Robert Hite

We were getting open, and finding the open shot. We were getting good shots. We just weren't making them.

Brian Urig

I get that luxury. I'll try to play her straight up and make her take difficult shots. Obviously they are very athletic and quick. They have the total all-around package. We're going to have to have each other's backs on defense.

Jenna Rubino

We missed a bunch of shots early in the game. A lot of that was because of their defense. They have good athletes who move their feet and make things tough on offense.

Matt Berger

Drake does a great job with its defensive system. But we were only 5-for-19 on three-pointers and I don't remember many of those being tough shots. Basically, they hit shots and we didn't.

Steve Merfeld

They made a lot of shots (early on) and that created some anxiety. They came to play.

Jim Miranda

We took a lot of good shots early in the game that didn't go and that frustrated us. Hopefully we got that bad offensive game out of the way.

Jim Vaughan

He started pushing the ball a little deeper. He needed to get some depth on his shots. He showed great senior leadership.

Asher Cohen

I think he can be a really good player. He's long and he gets his hands on the ball a lot. When we were there, he made shots . . . he made some tough ones, too. At our place [a 55-44 Drexel win Jan. 21], he didn't look to score as much. He could also be a kid who's really good on the defensive end.

Bruiser Flint

We missed more than our share of shots close to the basket in that second quarter in particular. So that was the ball game. We missed about seven or eight point-blank shots in the first half.

Dennis Cromer

They hit some big shots and played the way they normally play. At times we were not as disruptive defensively as we needed to be, and they made us pay.

Wally Vickers

The defense didn't close out like we should have. Our offense execution wasn't there and we shot poorly. ? The right people need to take the right shots. We had some poor shot selection (during High Point's 15-0 run).

Carey Green

Good shot, Pete, you got a double. You got two different oak trees in two shots. You're deadly.

Bob Simms

I can't take any plays off. You have to have a heart and soul for the game. I take what the defense gives me. I don't force anything. One of my keys is to get my teammates open and create shots for them.

Brandon Adair

It seemed like there was a lid on the basket. We got open looks, but it didn't drop. It's awfully hard to win a game when you can't make shots.

Dr. Louis Orr

I think we got some good shots, but they just didn't fall. We just weren't able to make any.

Melissa Smart

We just wanted to give ourselves a chance. What we're more concerned with is 'How do we get better.' We don't have a lot of experience. If you're even going to stay close with a team like this, you have to make shots.

Bill Herrion

Once you get the ball rolling you relax and it gets a little bit easier to knock some of those shots down. They looked like they were having fun again tonight.

Barb Felderman

Some of it is inexperience. It's a different game. We're trying to build habit-forming things -- close-out drills, contesting shots. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel.

Brandon Hogan

Ambrosia had some big shots for us and just played very solid overall.

Jeff Judkins

We're looking for everybody who plays in the midfield and the front line to get shots on goal and hopefully score some.

Brenda Hadwin

Taylor wrestled a good match, but needed to be a little bit more aggressive on his shots.

Chad Latch

It sort of made us timid. And the shots weren't falling from the field.

Precious Caldwell

I cost us the game down there, but I knew I couldn't shoot that bad again. I just tried to forget about it and make these shots.

Cheryl Ford

We were a little too big for them. Harrison really hit some shots and Gena is starting to play the middle the way she can. It was fun to watch.

David Laven

We executed our offense well and put ourselves in positions to score but we just missed a lot of open shots that we need to make. That was unfortunate, but we've got to keep on working on it and keep getting in the gym.

Vince Oliver

They're a great team and they hit their shots in the end.

Josh Manning

In practice I usually never take those shots. Coach never lets me.

Mike Gingras

It was just a good solid round. My irons were the key today. I hit a lot of good shots and made all of the putts I should have made.

Liselotte Neumann

We just got out of sync in the first half. My guys just weren't shooting the ball and it wasn't just their defense. We were taking too many quick shots and too many 3's.

George Drawhorn

I gave my shots to him from the first point. He took everything he could possibly get.

Bobby Riggs

It was a typical 4-5 game. It was a constant battle with the lead going back and forth. Both teams made big shots, and I'm happy to come out on top.

Nick Joseph

I was standing with my friends at the coat check line when we heard two shots. We didn't think anything of it at first Then we saw people scrambling?There ended up being a corpse on the floor?The police were there in about five minutes.

Carlos Machado

His points didn't come as easy as you might think. They were physical with him and he had to finish some tough shots. He did a good job in getting us off to a good start.

Quincy Lewis

I think I played well today. I just missed some really important shots.

Dinara Safina

Foul trouble killed us. We didn't get to do what we wanted to do. We wanted to pressure them, but that was taken out by the foul trouble. We settled into a zone defense and they shot the ball over us. You have to give Morton credit. They got the good looks and knocked down the shots.

Brett Mackey

We knew the first five minutes of the third quarter would be important. Fort Worth played well and we didn't. We really struggled offensively. Give them credit, because they took some good shots and really opened up the floor.

Terry Thimlar

I told them if they didn't give up that we would win. They (teammates) were looking at me. I missed some shots, but they were counting on me. I couldn't let us lose.

Griffin Miller

I figured I'd lead out and I was hoping El (Rafael) would get it to me. I knew it was good as soon as it left my hand. As a kid you practice shots like that all the time. I never thought I'd be in that situation, though.

Anthony Nelson

You're using 14 people. That's a lot of people getting looks at the basket and still taking the right shots.

Barbara Helms

I wasn't afraid of the ball. I have taken a couple (shots), you just have to get up and do it again. You have to be fearless out there.

Dr. Michael Smith

I wasn't losing confidence. I just wasn't taking shots. That was my fault.

Jeff Teague

The speed of the game affected us early on. We are used to being quicker than the other team and these guys were as quick as us. That makes you rush...you can miss easy shots that you normally make because at the end they close quickly.

Dean O'connor

Jack is taking fewer shots because of the double-teams. He's doing a good job of finding the open man.

Curtis Eccles

Does Grandpa love to babysit his grandchildren? Are you kidding? By day he is too busy taking hormone shots at the doctor's or chip shots on the golf course. At night he and Grandma are too busy doing the cha-cha.

Hal Boyle

We just didn't execute down the stretch. I thought we got the shots we wanted. I liked our effort.

Paul Pierce

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

I've been on top of leaderboards before a few times, but never by seven shots, ... I've got a few to play with and I intend to just relax and enjoy the finish. I could have been a few more under par if I hadn't missed the short putts, but the key to me doing so well is because I'm rolling the ball so well on the greens and I only missed one fairway today.

Raphael Jacquelin

We took 24 shots in the second half and scored 13 points. It was kind of a snowball effect. I can't fault the kids for that, but we sometimes let that carry over while we were on defense and you can't take a mental break in basketball.

Kevin Allen

It seemed like not only we couldn't get the shots to fall, we started to panic a little bit. We turned the ball over more so than we've done all year.

Sondra Vogel

It was a little bit frustrating. We were counting on our speed to get us going. We thought we'd make some shots and run them to death. But it seemed like they did that to us instead of us doing it to them. We could never really stop their offense in the first half and that put us in a hole in the second half.

Reyshawn Terry

I think the hardest thing is to come in and learn all of our team principles on the defensive end. He's done a really good job and shown he can defend at this level, which means you can play. It doesn't matter if you can make shots if you can't defend; being a shooting guard at this level, you can't play.

Travis Niesen

We never win any games like that -- on a last-second shot. We have other teams miss shots at the end, but never when we make one. Since I've been here we've never hit the last shot.

Tony Martinucci

At that point, we were forced to foul as we were most of the fourth quarter. We had to put them at the line and hope they missed and we would get the opportunity to score. We had our chances, but we couldn't hit our shots.

Mike Gossett

She had that coming because she'd missed some shots and the crowd was on her a little bit. I kept telling her, 'Hey, as long as you put the ball in the hole, you'll quiet those people real quick.' I thought it was justice she got that bucket at the end.

Michael Benner

We just didn't hit shots. We shoot a lot of threes and we average 90 points a game and we had some open looks. We just didn't hit them.

Bob Rager

I saw him miss a lot of easy shots.

Brendan Haywood

I was really happy with the way we played offensively. We knew they changed defenses and they did that. We hit those big shots against the zone and forced them to play a little more man.

Shawn Nelson

They weren't bad shots so it is hard to get upset when that happens.

Tony Rose

We didn't make our shots. We tried to make a run in the third quarter, but we missed too many easy shots that we should be making.

Lance Valley

To knock down shots like that after not scoring for three quarters is not easy to do. That's mental toughness.

Lance Davids

I told the kids, 'If we're not making shots, do things you can control,' which are rebounding, taking care of the ball and playing defense. We hung in there until we got clicking.

Geoff Salmon

They were a home-court advantage when we played there, but that advantage was far outweighed by the lack of training they provided. Points are over too quickly, which didn't allow us to build up physically, while being able to hit some shots gave our players a false sense of security.

Steve Houghton

They've got a big target on there: ATF. Don't shoot at that because they've got a vest on underneath that. Head shot, head shots.

G. Gordon Liddy

I knew it would come down to who made their shots. They made theirs down the stretch and we didn't make ours.

Dominic Crayton

We had some good looks, especially in the first half, but they just would not fall. We took what I thought were some good shots.

Dan Bollinger

Terrance is coming around for us. We count and depend on him and he's becoming more consistent in his play. He and Patrick being able to hit the outside shots should open up the inside a little more.

Billy Thornhill

We didn't get enough quality shots off inside. We were kind of relying on the three-pointer.

Rich Conover

What's especially noteworthy is that Brandon is not forcing shots. By all accounts he should be forcing more. Sometimes his bad shot is our best shot. He is going to make some college coach extremely happy.

Dave Stephens

The more shots you get, the better it is for a goalie. I found out a couple of days ago I was going to start and if it works out, I'm supposed to get two more this year.

Steve Mason

I was seven shots back at the beginning of the day. When you are far back like that, you are just trying to come out and shoot maybe a few under par. You just have to position yourself well, and hope the wind blows and guys don't hit good shots and you have a chance to be close to the leaders on the final day.

John Rollins

It's up to parents to educate the children about being at the doctor's office, explaining that shots are routine and nothing to worry about. Use positive reinforcement. Tell them before hand that after the visit they will get a lollipop or prize.

Vincent Sciortino

We came out with a lot of energy and we got up real quick. ... We were scoring like every time down the court. We just started getting away from what got us there and started looking for our own shots.

Tyler Brand

We came out and had a good run in the second half. (But) they started making big shots.

Bryant Markson

Everyone can relate to working for somebody, not being able to make your own choice. The commercial is a celebration of being in charge, nobody but me can call the shots. You're able to have fun with it.

Tom O'keefe

That's what big-time players do. They put teams on their shoulders, and he hit some big shots tonight.

Dave Lutz

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

Rob Gray

We've been looking for a breakout night. We've been shooting in the mid-40s (percentage). We made our shots tonight, and we played real good defense. We're real happy with the win.

Jack Nelson

The young man then ran into the house and pressed the panic button. Meanwhile, shots were fired and the woman was hit twice in the chest. She died shortly afterwards.

Schalk Bornman

I think he needs me to make shots and things like that. And I know I?m going to knock down shots, but it?s more than that. It?s not just shooting the ball but playing defense, too. It?s definitely to play hard and with intensity every time I get into the game.

Marscilla Packer

We tried doing a number of things to slow them down in the final minute. They were just bombing shots. Thank God we had a big lead.

Dan Zweifel

This year it's our turn to get back into the playoffs again. I hope things are going to work out this week but we've got to make some shots.

Cathy King

Coming out of the half, we were trying to do anything to get some momentum, so we tried picking up the intensity. It was just too little too late by the time we started hitting shots.

Matt Wallis

We were up 39-30, but when you're ahead you've got to keep scoring and we didn't. They hit a couple of big shots and got on a run there at the end and we turned it over a couple times. Give (Hickman) credit, he hit a big shot at the end.

Tommy Swanson

Now he'll be back in a situation where he can fulfill the role that Reggie Miller was playing, where he can come off screens and get shots. And he has a guy like Jermaine O'Neal who can demand a double-team and who can pass the ball out of the double-team. I think he can go back to regaining his form again.

Maurice Evans

They jumped to a zone and we've been practicing a lot of shooting. We banged our shots. We played very good 'D' that quarter, too.

Chuck Drury

I try and come in and contribute and a couple of shots went down.

Brent Barry

If she's playing like she was today, she can be a one man team. When you give any team three or four chances after shots like we were giving them, they are going to hit those shots.

Jennifer Andrews

They executed their offense real well. We were in the game into the fourth quarter, but they hit some big shots at the end of the game.

Ruben Patterson

It's always competitive. We knew it wasn't going to be a roll over. When they pushed some balls deep, we didn't cover them well and they hit some line shots we weren't prepared for.

Julie Smith

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

The guys played good. They really got after it. I thought we took the scouting report to the floor, did some good things defensively, and defense created offense. We got a lot of good shots off our D.

Barret Peery

We want to get the ball inside. That's our first job. When they pack it in, we have to take some outside shots. (The Bears) were packing it in a lot. So it was there.

Jonathan Pascley

I've never hit a guy with that many power shots and not have him go down. He's a tough kid.

Devin Vargas

Ninety-five is a lot of rounds, but also having eight officers is an unusual number. It's an individual decision to use deadly force. It's their decision to determine how many shots they need to eliminate the threat.

Tom Bennett

It's difficult to survive on this wicket with the new ball, but after it gets old it's easy to play your shots.

Kamran Akmal

I think the first half we did a good job contesting their shots and taking away the things away we wanted to.

Darrin Scott

They gave us the outer lanes and the wide shots but not much in the grade A scoring areas. We had guys around the net, that's not the problem. But the rebounds always seemed to bounce away from our sticks instead of to them, like in Philadelphia.

Thomas Pock

We're creating a lot of opportunities, which is a big part of the battle. We're just not finding the net. Twenty-seven shots and only two goals is not my idea of a good time. We need to find the mental composure to finish the job.

Randy Thoreson

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

We missed too many easy shots. Against a good team, you have to score when the opportunity presents itself. We missed three uncontested three-footers in the second half.

Tim Birie

That was one of those anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better shots. I don't know how you stop him when he gets on like that.

Andy Werner

We missed a lot of easy shots but we played tough on defense and got the ball back. And this was probably our best performance at the free throw line this year and we needed it.

Connie West

We played tough. But they had that spurt that kind of hurt us. They were knocking down shots and we weren't.

Rashad Williams

I think the statistic is something like one in 10 shots go in by the best forwards in the world, so I never get frustrated when good shots don't go in. I know I'll get another chance and I'll put that one away.

Jason Garey

I had a lot of open shots. Basically, I was just knocking them down. There's a lot of guys that probably would hit shots wide open like that.

Kyle Shiloh

Everybody out there is a great player, and our team was really unselfish. It was a little frustrating when your shots wouldn't go down, but it was always fun.

Tasha Cannon

We just started running around, and they got their chances. We let their guys get in the slot to some shots.

Michel Ouellet

It was like we clicked all of a sudden. We limited James Kenan to very few shots. That was very pleasing to see.

Kevin Hicks

One of my assistants suggested it, and it became one of our themes at halftime that we have to make some shots against their zone if we were going to keep the lead and win.

Paul Dudzinski

They (Spectrum) were in a 2-3 zone and we couldn't make an open jumper. We just couldn't make shots.

Tom Elwood

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

I had some good shots. They just weren't falling. I kept practicing and stayed with it.

Channing Toney

(Nicole Smart) hit some big shots for us. She's probably our best shooter out there.

David Smart
