That was a priority. He came out and got that early 3 on us, caught us flat-footed, and he didn't have another 3 the rest of the way. He had a great first half. He really put on a show.

Lance Randall

We're a small school. We have one and a half coaches, and some places have five or six coaches.

Coach Michael Dugaw

If they could get even half of those late fees back, it would be a good start.

Stacey Widlitz

There was no rhythm to the first half. It was frustrating in the first half, but their defense did it to us.

Carolyn Smith

I'm very satisfied with this win because we slowed down on turnovers and got a lot of errors and steals in the first half.

Donell Wells

If that goes in, it's a completely different game ? the intensity of the boys picks up. I felt in the first half if we would have put one of the chances we had, it would have been a totally different game. Unfortunately, we didn't.

Jorge Ortiz

I thought we dug a hole early. In the first half, our guards were in what I'd call a panic mode.

John Moon

Joe Kay isn't half as quick of feet or brain as the old one.

Patrick Reilly

The second half, we knew what we had to do. We let all the butterflies out and just played.

Jarrid Famous

To be unhappy is only half the misfortune to be pitied is misery complete.

Arthur Schnitzler

We weren't surprised that they were a well-coached team and skilled. Certainly in the first half, especially the first 20 minutes, we were awestruck.

Neal Wolfrath

We had a number of half-chances and we put ourselves in a position to do things, but the forwards were very disappointing.

John Connolly

I thought we did a much better job the first half of getting the touches inside than we did the second half.

Paul Swanson

What we're really concerned about is we're finding that nearly half the teachers leave in their first five years of teaching.

Bruce Schroeder

In the first half, we didn't come out very strong. We stepped it up in the second half.

Boone Freund

The end of our snow accumulation is only a month and a half away. We could be looking at less than we need.

Mike Gillespy

We deserved to lose and it was a good result for us, considering the way we played in the second half.

Fabio Capello

It's not eating half a hamburger, half a bag of french fries and half a sugared beverage.

Dr. Luigi Fontana

Two and a half hours is just not enough time for the teachers and children.

Beth Brown

The AOL business has been in terrible shape the last year and a half.

Youssef Squali

She was on fire in that first half.

Shannan Bergen

It will last just for an hour-and-a-half.

Giorgos Gakis

We as a country have been dramatically changing our notions about clemency and the death penalty in the past half decade.

Richard Dieter

Now we can enjoy this break and come back mentally refreshed. We have a very favorable schedule in the second half, so we're excited.

Shane Battier

She really killed us, too, in the first half.

Greg George

The hills are much more grueling (than in the Boilermaker). The good thing is that all the hills are in the first half. If you can survive the first half, it's all downhill all the way home.

Paul Humphrey

It was good to give everyone a little experience in the second half. All of our younger kids got a chance to play.

Paul Valasek

We made some shots in the second half and that helped us. But we also got more aggressive on defense and that made a difference for us.

Frank Ostanik

Our U.S. and Canadian distribution teams performed well and built on the momentum they generated in the second half of fiscal 2005.

Robert Huang

We played great defense in the first half.

Rodney Wesley

One of our goals was to have a quarter where we only gave up nine points or less. Instead, we only gave up nine in the half.

Jason Asbell

It is so widespread. Pretty much half the state was hit in some way or other.

Lori Getter

Neither team had great chances to score. When they had their half chance, they got it done, and when we got our half chance we got it done.

Jay Powers

Earnings (for financial stocks) are going to outpace the S&P 500 in the second half of this year.

Tom Galvin

I had guys use up a year and a half of eligibility in one game.

Terry Hoeppner

We had done well in the turnover department. We had 10 or less in the last three games, but the first half made the difference. We had to continually try to come back.

Rob Judson

If we go forward with a case, I think it may take up to another week and a half to two.

John Parrinello

We had to play all 16 minutes of the second half because Coach Hardy and his guys are really good. It was a battle.

Dean Shaw

Online dating in the U.S. continues to grow. This is a half billion dollar industry and it is an industry that is still growing.

Nate Elliott

We've got half of it done. But we've got Derby (on the road Thursday) and that will be a tough game.

Jim Post

They just hit a bunch of shots in the first half.

Dustin Werdt

The bottom line is, they've done a great job here developing players. Heck, half their guys are in Buffalo.

Roy Sommer

We have to keep stealing some on the road and we'll be OK in the second half.

Bill Gibbons

Without (Christie) in the first half, we'd probably have been down 10. That's senior leadership.

Paul Lancaster

We came out and played well at the start of the second half. But then, it all fell apart.

Brad Krouse

Adam shot the ball real well and bailed us out. We became a little more aggressive in the second half, taking the ball to the bucket.

Kurt Clifford

We weren't where we needed to be defensively in the second half. They are the most efficient team I've seen.

Doug Bruno

The half-Nelson we had on him was tight. He wasn't getting out of that.

Rob Willman

We probably could have won that game. It was 2-2 at the half. Who plays lacrosse and has a 2-2 first half?

Pam Edwards

If we can slow it down and make it a half-court game and not get frustrated with their press, I think we have a very good chance of winning.

Rob Patek

We just came out flat in the first half. But we played better in the second half. It was a learning experience for the girls.

Julie Mcgraw

James did a fantastic job in the second half.

Jason Couch

I don't know, lower half.

Sam Hollenbach

I wasn't pleased with our defense in the first half and I challenged them at halftime to come out and play Skowhegan basketball.

Heath Cowan

We hit with the first punch in the first half.

Bob Marlin

Our comeback in the second half was sparked by the contributions of the players coming off of the bench.

Allison Mcneill

We came of age today. We were able to put points on the board and our defense played very well, especially in the second half.

Larry Terry

We will have a very tough debate in the second half of 2002.

Hans Eichel

They blitzed their safeties a lot in the first half. I got great blocking and good holes from the offensive line.

Brett Johnson

Yesterday we had a snow day and I gave the kids a day off. The way my kids are, it takes them a half to recuperate.

Willie Worsley

If we have to wait another year to a year and a half, I don't know if we could do it.

Tom Klein

We had at least six top chances in the first half alone. If we had made some of them, this match would never had been so tense or dramatic.

Ralf Rangnick

We had a horrible first period and a half, but this team doesn't give up.

Neal Donohue

We didn't do a good job boxing out the first half.

Patrick Cinotte

They are playing better basketball in the second half of the season, and the seniors make it easier for me to do my job.

Craig Roden

We did not play our usual game in the first half and gave away too many opening chances.

Ali Naimi

We played a great first half. We played together and played great defense, but defensively we just couldn't get back into a flow in the second half.

Carmen Dolfo

Our ability to draw fouls changed the flow of the game. They weren't able to be as aggressive on defense in the second half.

Sheila Green Gerding

I auditioned and was accepted to the Juilliard School of Music Preparatory Division at the age of six and a half.

Marvin Hamlisch

We were really hyped up and excited in the first half and sometimes that turns into chaos on the court. We had a lot more composure in the second half. We came out and we brought it.

Lauren Hoisington

There can be no half-measures, he must risk everything and do the race of his life.

Piero Gros

Politeness is one half good nature and the other half good lying.

Mary Wilson Little

He had some choice words at the half.

Michael Southall

You medal is that far away. Half a bullet tip away.

James Upham

We were getting frustrated in the first half. We had to come out focused in the second half and play with more intensity.

Dominique Johnson

We played with them for about a half a quarter.

Scott Cromwell

He denied the ball from me. He did a great job of covering me in the second half.

Ben Uzoh

Half of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.

Solomon Short

When I first came here in 1992 about half the stores in downtown were empty. Now there is really not a lot of space.

Tom Hurley

The two and a half month exhibition will enable Chinese audiences an opportunity to enjoy the collection of a world class museum without going abroad.

Guo Xiaoling

We dominated them in the first half. The second half was a little iffy.

Matt Strophy

We have always been supportive of his decision. We knew he would never do anything half-heartedly.

Pam Schild

We have to be able to play the full game. We have to get over being a one-half team. I was really disappointed with our effort at halftime.

Don Flanagan

I told them at half-time to stay calm and then the points would come.

Simon King

We played a great first half, they played a great second half.

Craig Campbell

We didn't deserve to be beaten like that. We played well in the first half, but they were dangerous on the break. We give them credit for taking advantage of their chances.

Kalusha Bwalya

We actually had more points then they did in the second half, but we were terrible in the first.

Tony Catanzaro

We weren't getting some calls, and I think that bothered us in the first half. But we didn't let that type of stuff affect us in the second half.

Devereaux Peters

The problem is we play our best basketball when we get our backs against the wall. We didn't have our focus and energy coming out the second half.

Marcel Jones

We all know each other and half are related.

Kay Peltier

We had ten shots in the first half of the game. We just couldn't seem to finish off our goals.

Cindy Solic

In the second half we got some baskets in transition, and that's what we've been wanting to see.

Ashley Berggren

Ebony really did a great job of guarding Ortiz in the second half. Our entire team stepped it up on defense in the second half.

Maurice Garner

That was our best effort in the second half.

Andy Marx

He had a lifetime and a half. He was everywhere. That's why we decided he would go to Arlington.

Shirley Gritz

We just came out with so much intensity in the first half. We just came in and took care of business.

Gerald Walsh

Did you watch the first half?

Dan Hawkins

Going into the second half, we all just decided we're not going to lose this game.

Jimmy Palmer

(Amanda) is a warrior and a half.

Teri Rosinski

We had some good runs in the second half, we just couldn't finish.

Katie Gravel

There's been a half dozen Ebola outbreaks in the world -- ever recorded -- so everything you do is groundbreaking.

Scott Dowell

The first half we shot the ball very well, but we limited our shots with turnovers.

Aaron Feddersen

We hung in there during the first half. But we just ran out of gas in the second half.

Katie Brunelle

Half the people say it doesn't make any difference.

Terry Thompson

It was a sudden thing right before half, but at halftime coach asked me if I was ready to go back in. I said we could give it a go.

Richie Williams

Got out in two and a half hours, didn't even break a rib, and everything was fine.

Howard Stark

We don't make a big deal out of wins, so we won't make a big deal out of a loss either. Give Ohio Northern credit. They did an excellent job with ball control, especially in the first half.

Larry Kehres

(Consistent defense) is the only way you can win at a high level. We can't be inconsistent at that. They hit a lot of shots in the first half. You have to give them credit for that.

Mark Fox

People always look at me just, 'Oh, he's going to get broken in half,' and blah, blah, blah.

Matt Moore

We were just focusing on attacking in the second half. (Alex) did a good job attacking.

Rachael Moore

[Her] fingers are brandished as a crazed and half-starved Chinese would use chopsticks.. They prod and pinch the air, leaving it bruised and beaten.

Colin Mcdowell

Jackie Zender came off the bench in the second half and really sparked us.

Colin Cushman

Stark catches some key passes for us every game, and on that fourth down play, we had confidence in him. The drive to open the first half was also key.

Dwight Bowling

In the first half, we had a lot of opportunities. We had three or four times where we should have got one in.

Ryan Danielson

Julia played really well. She really lifted us in the first half. She's very athletic.

Andy Jados

It's too soon for that. But that's something we have in our agenda for the first half of next year.

Brian Murray

Well begun is half done.

Aristotle

(Grocery stores are) the other half of our growth strategy.

Matt Sheehan

We won't pressure anyone to attempt a half or full marathon. That's up to each individual.

Scott Rodes

But the second half was a matter of too little, too late. In the first half, they gave us a lot of short fields and we couldn't cash in.

Keeth Matheny

You don't have a chance like that. Their athleticism got to us a little bit, but in the second half we came on stronger.

Henry Uhegwu

The shots weren't going for us, so we made it a habit of getting to the basket and we got into the penalty early in the second half.

Thomas Gardner

It's been two and a-half years now, actually. The vow is over, but I wanted to keep cruising.

Rivers Cuomo

After we lost to Grapevine in the first half of district play we got together and ironed out some things.

Matt Colvin

We always preach that we play a man-and-a-half. On Saturday, (Thomsen) is going to be everyone's man.

Mike D'aloisio

Our defense in the second half was great. We needed an energy spark, and we wanted to come out and give a great effort.

Dustin Villepigue

We did a little better in the second half than we did in the first. We had to set new goals at halftime. At least we didn't give up 60 points in the second half.

Cristy Mckinney

I think that Kurt (Warner) had a solid first half.

Dennis Green

We didn't start off well; we just didn't have much energy initially. The second half we did a better job.

Carolyn Hunter

Half of the reason was for the situation with the immigrants and half was because we were suspended.

Valerie Lopez

How on earth can you let a guy who can't dribble score 27 points in one half? It's embarrassing.

Raef Lafrentz

I didn't really say anything special to these guys at half to get them going. We just came out with a lot more focus.

Craig Junker

Sometimes the positioning is very precarious, and you have to sit for half an hour while they freeze it.

Connie Adkins

It was great until the last half second.

Bob Bedford

This was definitely our best full game of the year. We've been playing well in the second half or the first half but this was our first complete game.

Land Tawney

Although it's encouraging that they've cut the rate in half, you really need to look at it on a yearly basis and look at the trends.

Lindsay Hayes

Thank goodness there were three men there. If it was a two-man crew, we'd had to cart them off to Riverside Hospital ... It's a full-court game; it's not a half-court game anymore.

Nelson Ellis

They're a good defensive team. We had nothing in the half court.

Louis Lefevre

It was a tough game, they came out exactly how we expected. We were a little bit ill-disciplined in the first half, but we started the second half really well.

George Gregan

We had a lack of offense. We had a lack of effort. We had a lack of heart in the first half.

Craig Scriven

When you're in love it's the most glorious two and a half days of your life.

Richard Lewis

In the land of the skunks he who has half a nose is king.

Chris Farley

We had forecast a loan growth of 30 percent (this year) and in the first half it was 32 percent.

Anil Khandelwal

We did a better job on Torres in the second half.

Mark Bray

We gave up a lot in the first half. Our defense settled in during the second half, and we really held our own.

Russ Taylor

In the second half we weren't blocking as well up front.

Dave Sanderson

I wish, in fact, that I could be half the man he was.

Ryan Hendricks

The last 10 minutes of the first half were crucial. We didn't take control of the game. We gave up too many easy baskets.

Gary Blair

That really changed at the half. They made a distinct effort to hit the boards.

Dick Wettengel

Our defensive presence was there ? they had 23 turnovers. Our (turnovers) came in stretches that led to points for them, especially in the first half.

Greg Garrison

I thought our defensive intensity was solid the first half, so I knew we would come back.

Neal Raphael

We knew we had 90 minutes to find a goal but the first half was too hectic and we were too nervous.

Klaus Augenthaler

Okay, you're the smartest kid in class, now can I have my veal, please, with about half the fuss?

William Bradley

In the second half we were better and I am happy also with my own performance. We can now build from here.

Iker Casillas

We just couldn't get anything doing offensively in the first half. When we extended our defense to try to make something happen, we gave up some easy buckets.

David Schneider

He is going to be a good one. He has a lot to learn but he showed what he can do in the second half. That was big.

Julius Mcchristian

In the second-half we created the best chances and took the game to Newcastle.

George Burley

We didn't take advantages of the chances in the second half to put it away. We got a little bit tired and a little bit sloppy.

Jim Stagnitta

Those who still think listening isn't an art should see if they can do it half as well.

Michael Ende

This will not be an easy task. We are fully embarked on it, we are not embarked on it to go half-way, we are embarked on it to win.

Caspar W. Weinberger

In the second half our defense was the difference.

Kevin Durant

Half of this award should go to my wigs [1996 BAFTA Awards talking about her wigs].

Jennifer Ehle

If we make half of that we'll be in the ballgame. If we make more than half we'll win, because we draw a lot of ejections.

Bryan Lynton

I think half the hyperness in her is from the terrier.

Dan Jacobs

Understanding human needs is half the job of meeting them.

Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

We talked about (at the half) playing the ball to the back of the 18 (-yard line) or playing the ball in, before we got into the 18.

Toni Varacchi

Cut [the speech] in half.

Bob Sheppard

We did well in the first half, but it's about the end product, ... We're playing together as a team.

Stephanie March

We dominated the first half, but unfortunately we failed to score despite creating several scoring chances.

Marcelo Bielsa

The first half is the best half we've played this year.

Dave Bosman

It was execution. In the first half we just were not executing.

Anne Long

We played only one bad half of basketball in 33 games. As our program has gotten better, our kids have bought into it and accepted the challenge.

Mike Hamburger

It's important that our delegation knows how important this issue is to all Americans, not just half of Alaskans.

Debbie Miller

In about half of our games, we've had bad first periods, but not tonight. We came out flying, and that's what we need to do from here on out.

Gary Defina

We did a nice job of getting the ball inside. We executed well in the half-court. But their pressure out top really disrupted us. We were really tentative with the basketball.

Andy Marx

They shot the ball well in spurts. They had us down 18-7 to start out the game, but we closed the gap and ended the half down by three.

Rocky Peterson

We played great in the first half. In the second half we were not that good.

Jim Moriarty

Without that, my organization would be half of what it is now.

Ben Sandkam

We did a better job of knocking down our shots in the second half.

Mike Black

That's been a problem for us. We have trouble finishing. We were bad in the first half, better in the second half, but we're going to have to make some decisions on who is in and who is out (of the lineup).

Steve Lucas

We controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, but almost gave it away in the second half.

Dave Currid

We gave up a lot of three balls in the first half. They were hurting us with screens up top. We weren't getting over those screens.

Caleb Kovach

It'll be slow in the first half for energy stocks.

Boone Pickens

Try to keep them no more than a half inch. Quarter inch is the best.

Teresa Follmer

They had a very hard time with our defense in the second half.

Marv Morris

We were one and done on every shot it seemed (in the first half), and they had a second chance on every shot.

Chad Carlson

Trash half the vehicles out there.

Robert Hirsch

This has never happened before, the most he'd ever be late is a half an hour or so. He's a very healthy little boy.

Angela Virginia

In one-half mile, we can have good sidewalks, trees, and lighting.

Jon Depreter

That was horrifying to me, to be denied service. I left with half a haircut and soaking wet hair.

Jasmin Zawada

Half of art is knowing when to stop.

Arthur William Radford

We expect to run the floor and play good defense, and we weren't doing that in the first half. We believe our defense will create our offense.

Mariah Williams

It crossed my mind. We had more chances in the first half. We just didn't finish.

Chris Liesendahl

Both us and Cabrillo play better in the half-court. We've had some close games in recent years because of the similarity.

Chris Shoemaker

He can't decide whether to leave his visor half open or half closed.

Murray Walker

When it comes to the treatment of patients with chronic schizophrenia, the glass is only half-full.

Jeffrey Lieberman

We made a good run at them. They were just better in the second half.

Charles Futrell

It's not going to cut their taxes in half, but maybe they could get a $50 credit.

Michael Orchin

We had played our best offensive half without Stephen.

Alex Estrada

When you go to Washington, you get no satisfaction. You come back and you put in an amount of money -- half of which is supposed to come from the feds -- what are we doing here?

Don Perata
