Our job when we come in is to create a spark. When we go in we want to make something happen and change the tempo, so that's how we approached it.

Liz Mccarrell

It was tight all the way. The difference in the game was that we were able to close out on their shooters. We knew they like to play up-tempo and shoot a lot from the outside. But we did a great job of guarding them on the perimeter.

Matt Berger

That was a momentum shift for NFA with that run in the second quarter. They went to that half-court trap and that gave us a lot of problems. That (trap) slowed us down and created the tempo they wanted to play at.

Rob Mileski

We had the tempo the way we wanted it. It was a great win against a great opponent.

Jeff Bzdelik

It's an opportunity to show what you can do. It's real bullets. It's just a different tempo, a different mindset.

Jason Jefferson

This is not the same old Lafayette team and if we want to come out of that game with a win, we're going to have to execute a lot better and play an up-tempo style of basketball.

Melissa Mcferrin

The slow tempo doesn't favor our style of play. They didn't allow us to get into our offense.

Mike Tarlin

We'll need to be able to control the tempo of that game (to have a chance).

Kyle Tregoning

In general we played well. We were able to keep the emotion and tempo at the level we wanted. Jefferson is a tough place to play. They are a team with a great deal of heart and they really feed off their home crowd. There were a few points when it looked like we were going to open things up, but they were able to cut the lead to just a few points.

Mick Bittick

We were fortunate to just be down by two at half. The game was being played at their tempo. We decided to make some adjustments and quicken the game up.

John Sherman

Andrew was back to normal tonight. He pushed the tempo for us.

Gene Manson

He's very intense. He wants things done a certain way. We just have to get used to his tempo. It's a lot faster-paced.

Tristan Davis

We came out strong to start the second half, and I think that helped set a tempo for us.

Gina Nolan

In the beginning, we were running hard, but we weren't capitalizing on what we had. Then in the second quarter the tempo stepped up, and that's what we want out of these kids. When Jackson came in, we just stepped it up a notch.

Warren White

I'll try to see how they come out and play the game, the tempo of the game. Usually you're watching for how the league is, but tonight I'll have a really good eye on it because we're playing them the following week.

Kirk Morrison

These GIG-enabling technologies demonstrate they can provide both the aircrew and the commanders with an unparalleled view of the common operating picture as well as improved real-time situational awareness, contributing to an increased operational tempo. This dramatically improves their ability to complete missions in a dynamic, time-critical environment.

Patrick Stokes

When you come into this gym, you never know what's going to happen. The fact that we came out here and presented ourselves strong in the first half, I think we set the tempo for the rest of the game and our kids got confidence when we had a 12-point lead at halftime and it just flourished into the second half.

Rob Shepard

I told our kids all week it was going to be close. Their style tends to keep it that way because they don't really pick up the tempo, so you know you're going to stay in the game.

Scott Marr

Every possession was so critical. They did a nice job of handling the ball and we didn't play with enough patience. Obviously, 13 turnovers is too many for a game of that tempo.

Vince Lombardo

We need to push the tempo, get it inside, play hard on defense, and do what coach asks us to do. We have to play good defense first. Defense wins championships and offense wins games.

Earl Calloway

Offensively we just couldn't get anything going. Jackson's the type of team where they run a pretty controlled offense. The tempo is where we like it. We'd like the score to be lower. We just need to general some offense.

Eric Snyder

They are pushing the tempo more. Whenever you do that, you get more possessions. Under Larry Brown, they were more of an opportunistic fast-break team. Now, they are trying to run more.

Eric Snow

The first win sets the tempo for the next game (today at 1:05 p.m. in Des Moines). They're going to have to come out and play with some urgency now, and then they have to come back to Houston and play us in our building.

Erik Westrum

I just want to go out and play hard, try to contribute and push the tempo. We need to go in there and do what we need to do, play our type of game, and get a win.
