I felt we could have played better. At times we were sloppy and careless with the ball. We had a few good spurts during the game, but our inconsistency at both ends got us in the end. It wasn't the way we wanted to go out.

They booted the ball around a lot in that first inning but we did a lot of hitting in that first game as well. We did it in spurts.
Jerry Kramer
(The win) was much needed. We played well in spurts, got kind of relaxed, but pulled out the victory.
Terry Beauford
We continue to play well in spurts but also to get hurt by giving up big scoring runs against us as well. We need to concentrate on our execution, on finishing opportunities and focusing for an entire match.
Dave Simon
Part of it is psychological and it's mentally [tough] to get over the hump. The last couple of years, at least for part of the match we played them even, we played really well for spurts. There's a way to [beat them], I'm just trying to figure it out.
Dave Stover
We played with them in spurts. That's something we talked about after the game. We have to be more consistent. In the next two days we have to focus on not being so up and down.
Marcus Knott
We've got a lot of soul searching to do. We have no consistent effort and are only playing in spurts. Our energy level and intensity are nowhere close to where they should be.
Charles Howard
We played a great team. We just played very well. We had stops. You play good defense and you get those spurts. We didn't want to match them basket for basket.
Gene Roebuck
We played well in spurts and were tough defensively. We started moving our feet in the third period and that's when we got our goal. We were a little slower than we normally are. We've got some guys who are tired or a little sick (but) in the third period they picked it up.
Scott Maxham
I think they've shown confidence in me, and they see the talent level is there, the ability is there, and he's starting to show spurts of it in every game. Sooner or later there's going to be a breakout game that really gets this thing rolling.
J.p. Losman
Barry was really good, and he was good yesterday. He's been really focused. We knew he's had the talent all year. He showed some spurts midway through the season, and late in the season, he's giving us good minutes. He has the talent, and now he's figuring out what to do with it.
Jay Herkelman
This game happens in spurts. One team is going to make a run and the other comes back. I actually talked with them and got them adjusted to that. You know we'll come out wide open, and you know their team's going to make a run. But we've just got to settle down and maintain the lead.
Mike Gainey
We had to have a baseline to operate from, and that was the Filer game, but our biggest growth spurts should come against Hillcrest and Minico. Hillcrest is traditionally a real physical team that takes pride in simplicity and emphasizes execution.
Mike Glenn
We knew their pressure was going to be awesome. We just had some spurts where we just didn't handle it.
Allan Pope
You cannot win games in this league with spurts of effort, ... And we've got to get our act together coming out of the gate.
Michael Peca
They were a good team. All of them can shoot. We can, too. We just had spurts where people didn't shoot well.
Rachel Sandoval
They have this blade that slashes through the rooster, pokes out eyes, punctures lungs and slashes into vital arteries. Blood spurts and the animals die in the ring based on blood loss. Whichever one gets hacked to death is the loser.
Janet Halliburton
We have got to start executing better. We played in spurts, but never with all five guys at the same time.
Gary Forrest
We play well in spurts, but we just can't get a victory. We ran some plays in the second game and it worked. But we have a hard time keeping it going. If you are going to play well in this conference, you have to run some attacking plays.
Sandy Jones
Basketball is a game of spurts. That run in the third quarter was big because we took a good lead, but they came back to their credit.
Jim Doolittle
This game was played in spurts. If we could've kept it tied with five minutes to play, we could've gotten a win tonight.
Andrew Brunette
We wanted to hustle, to play aggressive and to play as a team. I saw that in spurts.
Casaundra Wilson
We play in spurts. At times we play hard and then we get comfortable and they make big plays.
Cedric Mcgowan
The spurts that we show are great, but we keep taking a few steps back. But when we're playing good we should be unbeatable. We have the best goaltender in the league and when everyone's going, it's going to show up in the win column.
Ryan Gibbons
It's okay to take a break from grieving. It's normal for teens to grieve in spurts. Not giving up the normal routine, sticking to the routine that they enjoy helps the grieving process.
Kelly Hilton
We had to grind it out and play better in the first half. We had spurts, but when you fall behind like that it just absorbs too much energy.
Andre Collins
We spotted Coal City that 8-0 lead, but the kids were able to come back. Coal City also jumped out to a quick 7-0 run to begin the second half. We played well except for those two spurts.
Tim Ricketts
We didn't really get after it like I was expecting. Neither one of them wanted to do anything in the beginning. It just came down to little spurts of action for Pugh to get a couple points on the board.
Todd Hinegardner
We like to push to the ball. We like to play the game in transition. We did it in spurts tonight.
Tim Miller
We played will in spurts. We have to a better job playing man-to-man defense. We didn't take advantage of getting to foul line when we were the bonus situations.
Charles Cole
Contrary to what people think, we really don't want to run up and down with them. We'd like a slower pace. We'll run in spurts.
Montel Staples
We played well in spurts, and it wasn't until the second half we even put any points on the board. We have got to learn not to give up five in the first half.
Chuck Davis
She's (Spears) phenomenal. I can't say enough about her, and you could see it in her eyes (Friday). She was trying so hard to take charge of the game, and she did - I thought a couple of spurts there she really got us back in it.
Carol Sims
This was just a super atmosphere for a basketball game. Bradley-Bourbonnais had a great crowd and they saw that we were short-handed. Bradley took it to us and was ready to play. Fortunately, we played well in spurts.
Cal Saunders
We talked about the first four minutes (of the second half). We got those first four points and they knew we could score in spurts.
Jeff Sprouse
[Farmington] had two spurts when they got the pace of the game a lot nicer than we wanted.
Jonathan Wells
They're a great team. We played them well in spurts, but they have all kinds of weapons.
Tim Peters
We played well in spurts. I thought our second quarter (20-4) was pretty strong, and we maintained that lead through the end.
Larry Hoff
They switched up their defense quite a bit, and we knew that coming in. We were up nine in the third when we last played them. (This time) we were keeping them away from any big (scoring) spurts.
Bill Ipsen
It was really a game of spurts tonight. We played well at times and had some rough spots.
Darren Mathews
In the past we've been running the floor just in spurts, today we consistently got up and down the floor. We try to get the big guys down the floor and Sullivan, Pratt and Sierpinski did a great job of that today. We're a much more dangerous team when we're getting up and down in transition then when we're playing slow.
John Kuckel
The (lack of size) is something we're going to have to deal with for the season. Did we play well? In spurts, we played a little bit of defense and were able to put together a few runs. But then we started taking bad shots, and with this team we are only going to get one shot a possession, so it has to be a good one.
Joe Cacciatore
I never expected the game to go like this. I thought that we played well in spurts.
Sterling Hicks
Basketball is a game of spurts, you have to stay within reach. They played hard. They didn't play bad. We've stepped on the court before and I felt like we didn't play hard, but we've played hard. They deserved to be here.
Terri Cash
Tonight they forced us to play a perimeter game all night long and we had some spurts where we missed a lot of shots. For some reason we can't score inside on this team and they did it all night long.
Rick Cormany
We just got beat by a better team today. We couldn't overcome a lot of two-run spurts.
Mark Foulkes
We played well in spurts. As a team, we really need to work on maintaining our focus and intensity.
Denise Boos
Sometimes they just relax and they let people outplay them. But then all of a sudden they pick it up and start playing. If we could play an entire game like we do in spurts, we would be tough.
Thurman Pate
She?s been sick and she can only play in short spurts because she has trouble breathing.
Rachelle Lemieux
It's a couple of things. Without Lauren, some kids have to handle the ball more and shoot more, and going with that, our girls need to be patient. We rushed things. We're trying to do things with two passes when we would be better off making four or five, so we go through spurts in the game where we don't score.
Ray Liberatore
We're very balanced. Within games, we get spurts from different players.
Harry Larrabee
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 had some spurts and they had some spurts. It just seemed like ours were 4 to 6 points longer.
Stan Sexton
She has that in her, and we see it in spurts. Girls actually get mad at her in practice; she knocks people around.
Katie Whalen
We're having trouble getting the bat on the ball. And then we'll go through spurts where we'll make errors in the middle of the game, and that's just killing us.
Javelin Ormond
You can't just play in spurts when you're playing the best teams in the country. We have to find a way to put together an entire game.
Suzanne Isidor
It was a game of spurts. It kind of went back and forth. Coming back from 3-1 in the second half showed a lot of character. I don't think if we had overreacted we could have come back from that.
Andy Gates
We really played in spurts. But we have a tendency, it's almost like they lose interest when we get a big lead.
Maura Mchugh
In spurts, he's been dominant. He really played well early tonight, he got us started on the glass. He also played really well late, on both ends of the floor. He's very valuable to our team because he can do so many different things for us.
Jeff Kaminsky
We just did not play well. We got out-played. Our defense played well in spurts but we just made too many mistakes. If we play like that next week, we'll get beat again.
Ron Greene
They're all going to see quality playing time. But we might be playing games by committee sometimes, games in which I substitute a lot. We just need more girls to play 60 minutes of consistent hockey. Two five-minute spurts isn't going to get us anywhere.
Mike Shern
They were flying tonight. We played well in spurts, but we were overmatched. They were the best team that we've played.
Jay Ferraro
I feel like an 8-year old kid who just got a bike on Christmas morning. It was a huge sigh of relief to get this win tonight. We told our kids that we had some frustrating losses this season and we could make amends in this tournament. We did a great job of holding off Pisgah's spurts because they can score in a hurry, and we didn't give up when they fought back at us at the end.
Tim Trantham
The only saving grace to the market has been sporadic spurts of short covering. You still have lots of short interest out there and you're going to see periodic short-covering rallies.
Bruno Stanziale
It was a game of spurts and, fortunately, we had more. A couple of times, we thought we were one or two possessions from taking command, but Antioch came back.
Scott Bogumil
I think we did a good job of playing with intensity despite the small crowd. We executed when we needed to down the stretch. We also played well in spurts defensively. That's how we built that lead in the second half.
Tom Massolio
We cut it to 18-15, then it was a game of spurts. We'd cut it to four, and they'd take off again.
Paul Dretsch
In spurts we played well. But overall we have to play a lot better if we're going to win Friday (against Burroughs). We've got to be mentally prepared for that game.
Derrick Delton
We played well in spurts. We also played a lot more aggressive at both ends. (However) we couldn't get past the lapses.
Jackie Parsley
We outplayed them 75 percent of the time, but Inter-Lakes would have spurts of energy and score. We continue to play good team ball and that is what should carry us through the season.
Corey Pinard
I though we played really, really hard, but we got ourselves down too much. You have to play well for a whole game, not just in spurts, against a team like Ashland.
Tom Ingraham
It has to be a balance for us. Kobe is a special player, but there is no way that he can shoulder the load himself. We played well together in spurts, but Kobe really was the man.
Chris Mihm
Basketball is always a game of spurts. And as a coach, it's my job to coach the team to stop the spurts. And that's what I told the team at halftime. We knew it would eventually be a much closer game, maybe single digits.
Gary Holquist
There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.
Candice Wiggins
The wide-open style we employ leads to big spurts but it can also give up big leads.
Don Worstell
The game just came to me, I just relaxed a little bit and let it come to me. I've been hearing from all of the coaches that I go in spurts and stops, so tonight I got it in my head to just dominate the game.
Hilton Armstrong
We played well in spurts, but our intensity wasn't what it should be. Next week, we can't have that or we're going to have an early exit.
Micah Marsh
The other girls stepped up. They provided help for spurts when she (Carr) needed them.
Courter Smith
Minnesota is a good team, but we didn't bring our game. No one was ready to play. It was embarrassing. Sure, we played good in spurts, but that's not enough. We should've been excited to play the No. 1 team in the country. It could've been a lot worse if it hadn't been for Isaac.
Raymond Mason
We play really well in spurts. We play a fast-paced game. We really put it together in the first half tonight.
John Gastineau
It seems like all the tournament ball we played we'd go three, four or five games without any home runs and then all of a sudden we'd hit them in spurts.
Terry Mcconn
It certainly was a game of spurts. We kept cutting it down and MSU kept pushing it back up. We challenged the kids and I was happy with the effort.
Randy Jordan
We didn't play smart. We had spurts and moments that we did, but our heads didn't seem to be there, all across board.
Brittany Grice
We had spurts where we played some pretty good basketball. But we had spurts where we were terrible.
Evan Lindahl
We have our spurts in the games where we have our lapses and the intensity drops. I believe we just have to work on bringing that level of intensity for the entire 40 minutes. We can't let up especially against teams like St. John's and going into DePaul and then at Connecticut.
Essence Carson
That is kind of the way we have been all season. Clear back to the second game of the season when we played Slippery Rock, we have scored in spurts. We put in a press that helps us get some quick scoring and that kind of got our motor going tonight.
