He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.

Sophocles

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

Fires are not going to start spontaneously. But if someone throws a cigarette out, it could catch on fire quickly, and the weather conditions, particularly that high wind, could cause rapid fire spread.

Phil Badgett

That really throws a monkey wrench into the whole works.

Dave Gilmour

He made some good plays, some good throws.

Thomas Jones

I think he's come a really long way. You can just see that he has so much more confidence now and he's what this team needs. He's not a guy who just throws the puck off the glass. He always looks to make a great breakout pass and he's proving to be very good at that.

Sami Salo

I was able to hit some free throws down the stretch and our inside play was good. Andrew was the difference tonight. We really were determined to win tonight.

Jamaal Magloire

We basically beat ourselves with turnovers and missed free throws in the first half.

Cece Carter

Nineteen free throws. We get her to the line that many times, that's a good sign.

Chris Strathman

That went a long way to helping our confidence. Anyone we face now probably won't be better than him. When you face someone like that, you probably won't face someone who throws harder.

George Alexander

He's not the kind of guy that comes in and throws 120 pitches. He's a 90-pitch guy. If he's going to get into the seventh and eight inning, he needs to get guys on a lot of first and second pitches.

Gary Powers

Offensively, we did a good job of getting the ball inside. We made some plays in the second half, and our girls hit their free throws.

Robby Reasonover

We were right there with them, we just didn't do the little things that would have got us the win. We missed 11 free throws and that was the difference.

Bob Curtis

If we ever decided to make free throws, it would've been a different game. When we had chances to either tie or go ahead, we would go 1-for-2 at the line at best. Seventeen-for-30 isn't going to win any games for you.

Billy Tubbs

Just keep your man in front of you and time up the way he dribbles. You can time when he dribbles so you can punch it out, hit it. Stay close to your man so if the other team throws a lazy pass, you can step in and get it. It's all about pressure.

Brad Orr

Kids work on things like dribbling between their legs and behind their backs rather than a 15-foot jumper or free throws. Things that can help you win a game.

David Mcgreal

Mark had to deal with some adversity and after missing the free throws could have hidden. But he showed a lot of character by stepping up and knocking down the three in such a critical situation.

Joe Aiello

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

Mike Webb

Free throws have been killing us. We just shooting over 50 percent from the free throw line.

Alana Erickson

She has done an amazing job. She's got a lot more pitches, and she still throws hard.

Stacie Chambers

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

Larry Mikesell

We got it up to 18 in the second half, but they were able to cut it to four late. Maria Viola hit four or five free throws down the stretch and we were able to hold on.

Duwaine Ganskie

One of these days, we're going to get a bad, bad fire when somebody throws a cigarette out of a car window onto a shoulder covered with grass, and the fire runs up to a house and takes it out with the family inside. I could drive you around and show you one place after another where it could happen.

Julio Betancourt

We made our free throws down the stretch and that was huge. We came out of the gate pretty good to start the first and second halves, and A.J. gave us a nice spark off the bench.

Brian Baptiste

We played the best 29 minutes of basketball we played all season collectively, then we did everything wrong collectively in the last three minutes. We missed free throws, had quite a few turnovers. It was bad. But we were happy to respond so well against Pickerington North. The kids bounced back and showed some poise.

Larry Eberst

Sure I can throw in the gym, but baseball has so many different aspects that really require being outside on a diamond. You can't practice cutoff throws from the outfield, you can't run bases, we've had only one outdoor practice and that was in three feet of snow.

Travis Babbitt

Gulf Coast played tremendous. They got some great individual performances from Ray Bailey and Robert Mitchell. We were just lucky that we made our free throws.

Greg Heiar

Free throws killed us and we missed some chippie lay-ups.

Jerry Fuqua

Every day at practice we shoot 60 to 70 free throws, and I always imagine myself in high-pressure situations like it was tonight.

Felicia Chester

We were able to overcome some first-half foul trouble. They made a lot of free throws and were able to get a little closer, but we were able to hold on.

Brian Ricci

We just tried to stay focused and concentrate on making our free throws. It really boosts your confidence when you see others hit them.

Katie Riddell

I think he made some good throws. For where we're at, he should be fine. We're not worried about anything. As long as we do what we can do defensively, we can keep him in the rocking chair and just let him continue to get better.

Takeo Spikes

Kyle Bell is a stud, Luke Roberts is a stud and everybody already knows what a great player Anderson is. And Justin made some big-time throws.

Dan Hammerschmidt

They can still go to me in the fourth quarter. It's just something I've got to keep working on. That's one of the areas I've got to gain more confidence in. Guys from other teams have told me they see that I'm too tense when I'm shooting free throws, when I'm concentrating so much instead of just letting it flow.

Dwight Howard

I'd never had to shoot free throws in a situation like that before. I just went up there and thought about hitting my free throws. I wasn't thinking about anything else.

Karla Gamble

Amy has above-average speed, but I wouldn't consider her a power pitcher. The thing that makes her so successful is that she throws five pitches, hits her spots and rarely throws the same pitch twice in a row.

Dick Mandella

Once again, we shot a lot free throws in this game. Over half of them were in the fourth quarter. We shot free throws pretty well today, 19 of 30 is not bad. It's not great. Definitely it was not like what we had the night before, but we made them down the stretch. That's what counts.

Ron Hop

We didn't take care of the basketball and we didn't concentrate on knocking down our free throws. I think if we made our free throws in the first half, it would have trickled down to the second half.

Michael Grant

There's no question that at time [the technical foul] put us in control of the game. We were able to step up and make some free throws, and from that point we were definitely in control of the game.

Jeff Kaminsky

We're looking for him to have a good year. He's one of our captains, he takes charge in the huddle. He throws the ball very accurately and he's probably one of our two or three best runners.

Bob Schneider

You can never stress free throws enough. I didn't hit mine at the end there and that could have been crucial.

Meghan Merklein

We made our free throws; we were 21-of-23 from the line, so that was encouraging.

Bob Hofman

We just didn't knock down our free throws. It's been a problem, but not as big as it was today.

Roy Jimenez

He has a good breaking ball and he throws pretty hard. And he has good command. He's ahead of every hitter.

Heath Lane

I told our girls that defense wins championships. If we could lock them down in the half-court set and make some free throws, I knew we'd be fine.

Jeff Stowers

Chris has some nasty stuff and is hard to hit his fastball at 90 mph. He throws some breaking pitches at times. We're expecting a lot of things from both Chris and Andrew.

Val Mclean

If we hit five more free-throws out of 31, we would've been in good shape.

Carol Owens

We didn't make our free throws and that's the game. The things we talked about all week (were), 'Don't turn the ball over and make your free throws.' We didn't do it, we don't go on.

Tim Bankston

Coach had told me to be more aggressive. Once I get one or two to go down sometimes they just feel like free throws.

Torrell Martin

It was tough today because I had to power through my throws. I was only able to glide through on one.

Robert Schenck

We lost some games early in the season when we didn't knock down free throws when we needed to. It's something we work on in practice every day and try to make it competitive. Tonight, it paid off.

Joe Konieczny

It comes down to free throws and execution.

Matt Lojeski

It's not a talent issue. He's got a damn rocket for an arm. He throws the hardest ball I've ever caught.

Rob Konrad

We knew what we were getting into with Mount Olive. They are aggressive offensively. Good teams that win in the NCAA Tournament, they hit their free throws.

Dave Springer

We were 7-for-19 from the line. We did not do a good job of making free throws and although we had more field goals, we didn't box out well.

Jerry Groves

That's unusual. We don't just miss and miss free throws.

Justin Armstrong

We missed free throws, we couldn't rebound, we didn't play good defense in the post and we did not look good at times at the point guard position. It didn't look like we were running anything offensively.

Bob Koskosky

We played very well down the stretch. Wicks and (Bryan) Mathews both knocked down key free throws. Each of them was 2-for-2.

Steve Monks

He brings stuff out, so he can have room to organize things. Then he throws the junk out, and moves the other stuff back in.

Dan May

Free throws, that?s the story right there. We make half our free throws, we win the game.

Tim Karrick

He's unbelievable -- he's got a cannon for an arm. He's almost impossible to intercept because he throws it so hard. You know it's going to come 100 miles an hour.

Dan Connor

The way we were shooting free throws, if we had to shot again we'd still be playing.

Ron Faust

It's so hard standing with someone as a cleaning crew takes all of their belongings and throws it on the curb. All that remains can fit in one small box.

Kay Bennett

A hidden energy crisis threatens our world. Society throws people into chronic physical, emotional, and spiritual depletion. Multi-tasking lets us manage a deluge of very real duties, but it also jeopardizes the now.

Judith Orloff

He's got a nice little stiff-arm that he throws at you and he'll really make you work. But if we just play our defense, we'll be able to contain him, if not stop him.

Jermaine Phillips

They were going to make him work for everything in the second half. We missed a ton of free throws and a lot of lay-ups. We have to make shots when they take two guys to guard one.

Jon Constant

J.P. got a pretty good look but it just didn't drop. The games in this district are so close that it comes down to making plays and making free throws.

Frank Castillo

We really wanted to focus on defense right out of the locker room and the girls stepped it up in the third. We stayed on pace and the free throws were big for us, too.

Gary Wilson

They did a very nice job of pounding the ball inside. We were in foul trouble in there, and Taylor was a man tonight. He did a nice job of, even when he didn't score, going to the free-throw line and making his free throws.

Nick Lowe

Shumaker will be our horse. He throws in the upper 60s and low 70s in big games.

Jeff Mallonee

We're asking him to make a big jump from junior high to high school. He's very quick and is poised. It will be interesting to see how he does. He runs fast and throws strikes when he pitches. He's a student of the game.

Steve Mcfall

The blocks were huge. I've always thought that blocking is such a big part of the game. They (the other team) starts thinking about it and it throws them off their game.

Veronica Rood

No question. The defense stayed constant, but obviously when you miss free throws you give them a chance.

Mick Durham

Each kid throws pretty hard and has good command of a few pitches. I think them and the guys behind them will do a good job out there, but we will need to develop some hitting.

Vern Mello

We were able to knock down our free throws. Fortunately we knocked some down in the fourth quarter to get some separation.

Brian Laffin

I think she came out very determined. She's just a sophomore, and she hit her free throws down the stretch.

Deb Bennett

It's a completely different show than what we did in the '70s. All you have to do is watch and you'll find out. Back then, it was pie throws and all the silly kind of comedy.

Marie Osmond

He's a stud. I love watching him pitch. He reminds me of a guy named Oscar Rivas, who ironically knocked us out of the playoffs when he was at Clear Lake my junior year. He's got those broad shoulders and throws hard. He's got a nasty breaking ball. I think he's going to be the best pitcher we'll face all year.

Donnie Elliot

Ryan just looks more athletic and throws a sharper ball. That year of playing really helped him.

Joey Montoya

The second half was different for both teams. They scored 21 points, but we only managed 10 going three for 18 from the field. The game was tight throughout the second half until they hit some key free throws and shots to seal it. We were disappointed to let this game get away, but we will come back strong from this.

Phil Carlson

It was great to come in here and get Game 1. I was a little bit moved because I'm so close to those guys in that locker room, the organization and the people that work in the front office. I still keep in touch with them, but tonight I was trying to make a play. The refs called a foul and I was able to make some big free throws.

Anthony Johnson

We shot free throws well at the end of the game. Kendra stepped up and that was huge for us. When nothing else was going in, we might as well shoot free throws.

Dena Sievers

We played as hard as we could. We just missed too many easy shots and free throws.

Theresa Adams

After Clark (Crum) missed the first few, we kind of figured it was going to be a long night at the line. We lost by six and missed 12 free throws. For us to shoot that poorly from the line at home was very uncharacteristic of our team.

Kelly Winter

We've been practicing free throws. I knew that we had to knock them down, we had to play defense and don't foul.

Samantha Woods

She throws the ball really well from behind the plate. She is young and still has a lot to work on, but she definitely can do a good job of picking off runners.

Ted Mcintyre

I was praying it wouldn't go in. We missed free throws down the wire that we should have had and defensively we made some mistakes and they exploited them. I'm just glad to be where we're at. The girls have worked hard.

Laura Romo

It just came down to who made the most free throws.

Sara Schopper

There's a lot of technique involved and the way (throws coach Dennis Kline) sets up our training, our distances go up and up as the season progresses.

Kevin Becker

It'd be nice to get a couple warmup throws, but I went out there cold-turkey. And that's what a backup needs to do - be ready at any time. On this team, with Brett Favre in charge, that doesn't happen much, but if I am the No. 2 guy, I'll definitely be ready.

Aaron Rodgers

He throws with me every day. He catches me and does a good job. I owe him. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably be sitting on the couch.

Kevin Brower

We needed to hit more free throws, and pressure the ball a lot more than we did.

Alton Greene

It was just a lot of concentration. We didn't shoot very well from the field, but we were able to make our free throws.

Austin Haws

It's just part of basketball. The only thing I wanted to do afterward is make the free throws.

Trey Blue

That was a good game for us. Hennessy and Convery really stepped up for us. We had it under two with under a minute to play, and we fouled, but they hit their free throws. We played pretty hard and made some nice adjustments, we just couldn't finish.

Michael Hunt

It was good for him to go up there because Florida has two submariners and he throws it as well. So it was good for him to get up there.

Jeff Laing

The last two possessions we did not do what we wanted to do. We were running a certain pattern, and one time we got confused. It just takes one person to get confused, and it throws everybody off. That's just the way it goes. We'll learn something from it. It's hard to do that in that atmosphere.

John Beilein

I just want the players to decide the game. It's a tough one because this game was ours. Despite all the turnovers and the missed free throws, we still should have won this game.

Doc Rivers

We did a great job down the stretch shooting free throws. What can you say about Trey Wright. He is a junior who weighs only about 110 pounds, but we put him in to shoot free throws and he made two great free throws. Austin Fox and Dannon hit two big ones as well.

Cameron Watson

The difference was they didn't get to the line too much. The last time (at Bellingham), they got 30-some free throws.

Jeff Hironaka

Those free throws really sealed it. She came off the bench and played very well for us.

David Heard

He's a challenge to catch. It takes a lot to catch him, because he brings a lot to the table. He throws hard, he's intense and he expects a lot out of his catcher.

Kelly Stinnett

He pitched really well. His arm was a little sore Friday and that's why we took him out. He doesn't throw hard, but he throws strikes and keeps the ball low.

Craig Lambert

The women's team dominance in the throws really set the tone for the squad. For the most part the distance and mid-distance athletes trained through our meet, so I was pleasantly surprised by some of the results.

Aaron Russell

I just believe my best asset is as a defensive player. On the free throws, I really wanted to make them because their fans were all yelling at me and everything, so I really wanted to make them that much more.

Abby Smith

Adam made a bunch of free throws in overtime (6-of-7) and he worked hard to post up because he had a smaller guy on him. He did a great job.

Don Meyer

We've been harping on ourselves about that. We knew we'd have to hit free throws to stay in it. We were up by two by free throws, up by three, up by four and then by five.

Amanda Radovich

He didn't have a bad game. He understands the game very well and is very competitive. That's what makes him good. And he can hit free throws. It didn't take him long at all (to adjust). We put him in the first game of the season and he was competing with everybody, and was as good as all the seniors.

Tyler Brown

It shouldn't have come down to the free throws. I feel like a couple plays before that they got second-chance shots, they shot a couple 3s that we didn't check out right and they got some rebounds, so it came down to the free throws.

Shaun Wynn

We're getting better. We learned a lesson with our last game (against Duke). We missed some shots, missed some free throws. We didn't finish it. I think (Saturday) was a big step forward.

Ilian Evtimov

She's been working so hard on her free throws because she was missing them lately. But tonight she had her shooting touch working. She's the one I wanted to see at the line.

Sequoyah Cliff

Chris Tyler is absolutely vital to any success this team wants to have this season. He's top notch in all three throws. He will single-handedly save the field for Rocky Hill.

Brian Graca

This game came down to free throws and they made them when they needed to.

Melody Owsley

I am, by nature, a fairly shy person, and one of the things I had to learn was, when you're on a popular show and people feel they know you, what used to pass for shyness can be perceived as rude. I do feel more vulnerable, but people are always nice. Nobody ever comes up and throws food on me and says the show is crap.

David Hyde Pierce

It kind of seemed like we had a lull in the third quarter like we usually have. Southeast got pretty hot in the third quarter, and we just didn't make free throws. We had free throws that would have kept us in the lead, and we didn't make them.

Dave Farris

That's a sign of toughness through there. We didn't make a field goal, but we hit our free throws.

Bernie Pearson

He (Fleck) had 12 in the first half. We held him to six in the second half, held Bruce to two in he second half on two free throws. Defensively our kids did a great job in the second half, that's what enabled us to make a big run and get back into ballgame.

Kurt Godlevske

We didn't shoot free throws well tonight but the girls did a nice job on the defensive end. I'm just happy with the win. It's a long trip over here and this was an important conference win against a good team.

Paul Alepra

All those little things are going to help you win ball games. The girls did a great job of going to the boards and they hit their free throws.

Brad Poppe

We just had to start playing defense. That's the thing that helped us the most. That, and free throws.

Danielle Brown

I was real happy with Gill; he came in and gave us some good innings. He throws strikes which is good and we have been wanting to get ho, some work because we feel he can be a guy for us. He will definitely get some innings when we start getting more games in.

Dan Ariola

We played pretty good against BIC. We got behind and they're hard to come back on. They made free throws late in the game and limited their mistakes.

Mark Manchester

He throws fastballs guys think they can hit, but it just gets by them. He gets stronger as he goes, and even when he struggles, he seems to get out of it.

Tim Bogar

I told her (Kindred) in the locker room 'outstanding minutes', just real steady. She rebounded. She made her free throws. (She played) a great overall game.

Debra Clark

He is very impressive for a freshman. Quite honestly, he throws beyond being a freshman.

Pete Muehlenkamp

I thought we had a chance. You hold a team to 36 percent shooting, you rebound with them, you get more free throws ... the difference in the game might be the stretch where we turned the ball over.

Bud Childers

We did a good job at keeping competitive. We hit a couple shots and they missed a couple free throws. Give credit to our kids for never quitting.

Scot Wenzel

Sometimes we have pressure in the last five minutes and today that happened again. I think everybody is thinking about that. Everybody has to play relaxed and make free throws and hit the open shots. We are professionals.

Andres Nocioni

We have to shoot better free throws than that. That's not good enough.

Tyrone Murphy

She loved to shoot the free throws. A lot of times opponents would foul trying to keep the ball out of her hands. As my principal (Todd Hall) said at the banquet she was just a free-throw shooting machine.

Terry Holsapple

The biggest thing is that we could never get into an offensive rhythm. We gave up too many easy baskets and let them shoot too many free throws.

Danny Young

We just allowed them back in the game. . We missed a lot of free throws.

Tony Dicecco

He has no reason to hang his head. He hit two big free throws for us earlier, and he wanted the ball. It was an open look, and he's been hitting those.

James Calkins

We've won some big games at the line this year, and we've lost some at the line. We know how important free throws are.

Dell Leonard

We shot terrible from the field, but we made our free throws (20-for-24). It doesn't have to be pretty; we'll take it.

Lance Huber

It's a team that throws a lot of different things at you. The key for us was to deal with it the right way and finish strong at the other end offensively. I thought we handled it very well in the first half and that set the tone.

Wayne Wagner

Payton has that unorthodox delivery that he throws with and we don't worry about match ups when he's out there. When you have a pitcher like that throwing strikes then we'll take our chances on being able to get out of it.

Scott Bradley

It was a game of mistakes, and we just made more than they did. We went a little cold, and they were shooting free throws and we weren't.

Tom Cappel

When we go to the basket and get in a situation where they have to foul us, we shoot pressure free throws very well.

Dale Neibauer

Once we had the lead, we wanted to take the air out of the ball. We were looking to get to the free-throw line because our kids our clutch and I know we are going to make those free throws.

Matt Bowling

Brittany (Strohmeyer) hit some big free throws for us in overtime, and she made a big play on the defensive end as well. We played with a sense of urgency in the second half that we lacked in the first, and Heather (Harper) was really solid for us in the second half.

Mark Hurt

I haven't been getting on base as much as I'd like to be. This shows that speed can play a part. You don't expect three bad pickoff throws. You see something new in baseball every day.

Juan Pierre

We were able to turn up the defensive pressure and we hit some key free throws down the stretch. This was one of those games we really needed.

Mike Wilkinson

He's solid at third base and a decent hitter. He's got a live arm, so he throws the ball well.

Mike Verrill

Their quarterback throws the ball extremely well and they do a good job protecting him. They're going to be a challenge, but I think it's a challenge our D is up to meeting.

Shane Quilling

We'll have a count in the back of our head about how many throws per day, but I don't see it as any build up. I mean, we've got to go. We have to get ready.

Tom Coughlin

We didn't play too well mentally. We had some mental breakdowns, we missed some lay-ups and we missed free throws early.

Jake Palluzzi

Growing up in a soccer family I learned some good moves, but I spend a lot of time in practice working on my shots-from free throws to off-balance shots. The only way a shooter can perfect their shots is through constant practice.

Steve Nash

Four more (free throws) would have meant overtime, five would have won it -- and we'd still be less than 70 percent.

Mike Ruszkowski

These two teams match up well. I expected this type of game all the way through. We were just a couple of possessions away. We just couldn't get that one basket. They hit their free throws at the end, which did it.

Chad Allan

They pounded the boards on us in the second half and we missed some free throws there at the end. We couldn't quite get over the top.

Ty Laux

Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.

Titus Livius

He does everything easy on the baseball field. If you're not watching, you might miss something. This guy has the most natural, fluid stroke in the system. I would say he's a natural hitter with easy power. The ball just jumps off his bat. And he throws like he swings. His throws just carry. He has a solid Major League arm. He does things so easily, you don't know he's there.

Bill Bryk

We think Danny throws the ball on the same level as Trent (Edwards) did. Danny came out and set the tone early.

Butch Cattolico

I remember the day when you shot 100 free throws a day, 365 days a year. I don't think our guys are doing that and I don't think a lot of guys do that. A lot of people talk about how bad shooting has become in general. To be a good high-school basketball player, you should be able to hit a 15-foot shot.

Tony Bisutti

Matt has to detail the little things. He has to keep on improving, and learning the offense and the new wrinkles. He has to get better at throwing accurate throws and making good decisions. He's made a lot of big strides over the last year. And we expect him to improve and have a good senior year.

Danny Langsdorf

He usually throws strikes, so when he threw only one strike in his four pitches something was off. That was uncharacteristic, but he settled in and got ahead of the hitters.

Mike Getkin

This was our third straight time coming in here, leading 90 percent of the game, but they always hit some shots and come back. But we knocked down some free throws and took care of the ball.

Michael Pyle

We've got to do a better job of making the free throws and still need to cut down on our turnovers.

Marty Rowe

You could see the pressure in those free throws when he went to the line. You could see how much of a weight he was carrying.

Terry Holland

We sort of got behind and had to play catch-up, but we hit a lot of free throws and I think that's what saved us.

Lenny Roybal

Our big concern with Florida is you have a heavy population. It just throws another element of risk into the fire equation.

Mike Apicello

I think that free throws are the most overlooked thing in basketball. There are some coaches who don't even practice them. We try to get in 100 every day.

Jacky Gaddis

The kind of college career he had and success he had, we just wanted to take a look at him, see his arm, watch him move around. He made all the throws. It was a good little workout. There are a lot of guys we're going to bring through.

Matt Millen

It was really an even game. We got on a run. Then, they started pressing, and the crowd got into it. The difference was the free throws. We just didn't have the composure we needed.

Sharon Versyp

We didn't lose this game because Mike missed those free throws. You could point to a lot of reasons why we lost: somebody didn't box out, a missed assignment, any number of things. I told Mike to keep his head up. He's played well for us all season.

Brian Beaury

The fact that it is set in a phantasmagorical island somewhere in ancient Sri Lanka throws up immense possibilities to explore this cultural hybrid, whether it's through costumes, sets or simply because of the Hindu environment that forms the spine of the story.

Francis Wacziarg

We fought very hard until the end. The missed free throws in the fourth quarter hurt us. But I am very proud of our girls.

Amy Wolfe

We're going to have to be a smarter basketball team the last three or four minutes. If it comes down to it, we have confidence in our free throws. Against Newark I don't think we played good defense. Against Lancaster we didn't handle the ball well or make good decisions.

Brent Bower

I look at a guy like Joe, who is just a sophomore, but he made a couple of big free throws down the stretch to help us preserve the lead. That shows me that even the younger guys are understanding what it takes to win.

Bruce Larner

That's really important, I think, if you can get a team down quick and hit your free throws and not make turnovers. We would get [the lead] to 12 or nine and teams would start hitting threes on us [earlier this season].

Shaun Ratay

It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.

Curt Fredrickson

Miller is really a nice quarterback. He really throws a nice ball. And he has some receivers who really went out and made some nice plays.

Kent Mueller

We play three guards and penetration is key. Dan and Jesse are threats on the outside. They were confident with their shooting and that carried us and at the end we made our free throws.

Mel Fathke

Good teams make their free throws and that's what (Kinston) did tonight.

Mike Connelly

They made plays when they had to. We didn't make throws when we had to, didn't make stops when we had to and didn't make catches when we had to.

Mike Hohensee

Kris did a great job at first scooping some low throws out of the dirt for us.

Jeff Haney

The three-point play (by Miller) was big. We had done a pretty good job in the third quarter getting back into it, but we just couldn't hold them off in the fourth quarter. Then they made their free throws and it was over.

Don Kloth

Being able to hold off Nixon's runs was the difference. They (Nixon) can shoot the ball. They'd hit a couple of big threes and then miss some and we'd make some. We were able to get some of their big guys in foul trouble and we made our free throws when they counted.

Frank Gonzalez

Sorry I didn't give a better showing. I didn't do anything well tonight. I didn't shoot well, I didn't shoot my free throws well. I didn't play great defense. It was just one of those nights. We just have to put this one behind us and focus on our next game.

Luke Babbitt

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

Todd Hansen

It seems like every time they have their backs up against the wall, he comes out and throws strikes. He has a good knack for getting the ball out to kids he needs to get it to.

Brian Dunn

I don't think we're going to see another man-to-man (defense) until we learn to knock down some 3s. That's all we've seen the last four, five ball games. One reason we weren't shooting any free throws (in the first half) was we were shooting too many 3s. We told them to go to the hole.

Bennie Edwards

Our guys worked hard, but we had too many missed shots, missed free throws. Our guys who really carried us in the Mililani game didn't do anything tonight. That's been our season.

Chico Furtado

We have to be really consistent and do the fundamental things well, like play good defense, rebound and shoot free throws. We have to be able to make our free throws.

Charles Pattillo

The bench gave us big, quality minutes. The bench was phenomenal, really. When we were slipping towards the end, John hit a couple big free-throws.

Orlando Larracuente

We missed enough (free throws) that they were always on the edge (of coming back). We can't do that against Huntington.

Steve Jenkins

The rain throws everybody out of their routine. Baseball is meant to be played in dry and warm weather.

Lindsay Meggs

He's kind of sneaky. He throws across his body a little bit. The first time you face him, you've got to feel him out a little bit.

Rich Aurilia

We had guys who don't shoot a lot of free throws step up in the end, so I was happy with that.

Brian Rea

We made all those free throws, but we missed the two most important ones at the end. Then we didn't box out for the rebound on their free-throw. We just could not get anything solid going in the second half.

Carolyn Wright

When you miss your first eight free throws consecutively, it works on you mentally.

Scott Collie

He (Ryan Hawn) throws well and we were lucky to hit the ball early and score a couple of runs. We put them on their heels to where they had to try and score to get even and I thought that was a big key.

David Treece

The last three weeks, every game has been like this. We've had a small lead, had to run our delay game, and make free throws.

Mark Tiby

We did make our free throws. We went at them and made them foul us. We got the ball inside, we didn't shoot as well as we usually do, but we got some second shots.

Gary Turcott

We didn't make all the free throws, but we made enough for the win.

Kyle Brooks

Sophisticated hackers don't attack in a straight line, ... They weave between sites. If one of these sites strips off the source information and throws it away, there can be a break in the chain for investigators.

Scott Charney

We didn't hit our free throws and down the stretch we made some key turnovers. But our kids did play hard.

Wayne Shelton

Mike Neville's become more of a pocket passer. He's making the right reads and the right throws. He's come a long way.

Floyd Burnsed

I'm not happy about this at all, ... I was completely blindsided. This really throws some plans we had into disarray.
