It was a great game. They play well and except for a couple of turnovers could have won it.
Chris Fenton
We met up with a good Rock Bridge team whose pressure defense forced us to make a lot of turnovers. We had a strong fourth quarter, but were unable to make up the deficit in points.
Lynnette Creed
We trapped their guards. We ran a double-team at them. They made some bad passes and had some turnovers. We were able to capitalize and get some easy baskets.
Paul Wiedeman
We got a good basket right at the start of the second half, but then had two straight turnovers when we could have cut it under five (points). But, we just couldn't make a good pass after that. They got out in the passing lanes, we couldn't finish plays and lost momentum after that.
Matt Richardson
We didn't get off to too good of a start in the first quarter falling behind as bad as we were playing offensively. We were able to hang onto it because Y-C was making some early turnovers and giving us every opportunity to stay in the game.
Dave Newton
We had some opportunities right after that, but I think we missed two shots and had two turnovers, and then they went to the free-throw line something like eight times.
Randy Edwards
The only downside was that we started the second half with the same crap we've been doing. We had turnovers on our first four possessions, and all a sudden, our lead goes from 18 to 11.
Tim Parmeter
Obviously, in the second half, we handled their pressure a lot better. We had 15 turnovers in the first half and five in the second. Our kids battled. They kept bringing it and bringing it and bringing it.
Von Graffin
Our plan was to play up on them, force turnovers and get into their heads. We stuck to the game plan. We wanted to come out and destroy this team.
Mario Ramirez
We did a good job of forcing turnovers and that was a big factor in the game. That helped us open a lead in the second quarter.
Mike Fratello
They have a good defense. They force a lot of turnovers by overplaying and getting in the passing lanes. We had our chances, but we just didn't take advantage.
Kevin Gimre
We really weren't in control of the ball in the first half. We were not playing at our pace. We had 12 turnovers. In the second half we had one. We played our style of ball and got it done.
Corbin Donaldson
I guess all you can say is they outplayed us in every aspect of the game. We did a terrible job passing the basketball, and they turned a lot of our turnovers into points in the first half.
Beau Thompson
You're passing the ball around, getting assists, scoring points, getting turnovers, it's a lot of fun. Especially when you see the points start racking up (on the scoreboard).
Allyson Fasnacht
The Saints are doing a terrific job of impersonating the Packers of the first four games. By my count, the Saints have 10 penalties, three turnovers and have missed two field goal tries. As a result, the Packers have scored 35 points in a half for the first time since 1992 and can't possibly blow their lead in the second half. Or can they?
Cliff Christl
When you play the style we play, you're going to have some turnovers. But we had some uncharacteristic mistakes tonight. We need to get control of that. But I liked the way we clawed back into it. It's something we can learn from. If we don't learn from it, then we're not as good a basketball team as I think we are.
Derek Robey
He was complaining to the coaches (after the first scrimmage) about us moving around too much so we stayed in base defense and they still didn't score. We created the turnovers and fumbles again. We played base defense and we knocked the ball out. Typical defense. He found out today we can blitz or play base defense and still whoop them.
Terry Price
Their size hurt us to a point and their quickness. And we had (19) turnovers.
Curt Stellfox
Turnovers just killed us again. You can't continue to turn the ball over against a good team. Padua is a very good team, and they played very well.
Thornton Spellman
We had too many turnovers in the first quarter that pretty much started our downfall from the beginning. We panicked too much in the first quarter and we weren't really running our offensive sets that well.
Rob Shepard
We'd like to play a game with no turnovers and keep the other team from big plays. If we can get into the fourth quarter, anything can happen.
Andy Smyth
As they say, defense wins championships. We put most of our focus on defense. We want to pressure you for 32 minutes. We want to force turnovers and we want to capitalize on them.
Janice Charles
Bottom line, we lost the game on turnovers (20) and free throws (16-for-34). A very winnable game which we let get away.
Rob Durling
Our approach to the game was good, but we needed to keep our turnovers down, and we had some breakdowns in that area. I thought that we got in and out of our defenses pretty well, but turnovers and missed free throws really hurt.
Bobby Carter
The amount of turnovers was unbelievable, especially at the beginning. It seemed like we never got a shot off for such a long period of time.
Andy Athanas
That first game we had 26 turnovers and their defensive pressure caused a lot of problems.
Keri Nichols
I think our pressure out front helped create a lot of turnovers and got them out of sync.
Dave Sylvester
I thought we did a good job of forcing turnovers and taking advantage of them.
Dr. Mike Wells
We had about seven straight possessions where we got stops in the third quarter. We really stepped up our defense tonight. We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half and not letting them have second chance points. I think half their points were in transition off turnovers.
Randy Mcallister
They scored on their opportunities and we had a couple of breakdowns that resulted in their (first two) goals. You can't question our effort, but I think we can be a little bit more responsible on those turnovers at this time in the season. A few turnovers like that and they get two goals. I definitely want to make those saves, but it's just a matter of tightening up some loose ends I guess.
Seamus Kotyk
I don't know. We got in a panic mode. We can't have those kind of turnovers. They (the players) have to understand that when they're in a pressure situation they can't throw the ball around like this.
Dave Beebe
Our defense was very good today. We did a great job of denying the perimeter and we were able to force a lot of turnovers.
Mike Bauer
We must make good decisions with the ball and limit unforced turnovers. Rebounding will be key on both ends of the floor.
Marty Barnes
That's what's plagued us. We constantly go on a run to pull within striking range and for some unknown reason we go through a series of making turnovers and allow the team to take off.
Charles J. Givens
She sees the floor so well. This year, she has been up against some outstanding point guards and not only does the job on offense, but she's a strong defensive player (forced five turnovers). This was a signature game for her.
Dick Steele
Those turnovers are really huge for us and we're really proud of ourselves as a secondary and linebackers to try to intercept the ball, get momentum and get things going.
Chris Harrell
That was not a surprise to me. You have two talented, athletic teams that try to play with toughness and take pride in how they get after people. I thought the game might come down to turnovers and who gets more easy baskets. … It was hard to find baskets out there.
Mick Cronin
We did a better job of controlling the ball and converting on Bisbee's turnovers. We like to shoot the ball 60 to 70 times in a game, we were short of that, but shot well enough to win.
Coach Kimberly East
They put pressure on us and created the turnovers.
Kevin Ryan
Reynoldsburg's very athletic and they're good at spreading you out and scoring in transition, so we can't get into an up-and-down game with them. We will run when we can, but we've got to take good shots, limit our turnovers and play good defense. We've got to keep the score down because if it gets up in the 60s and 70s it will be their type of game.
Kevin Logsdon
I knew we could force some turnovers against them. Their guards could shoot, but they weren't real quick. I thought we could pressure them into some turnovers.
Tyronn Mitchell
Turnovers were a problem in the last game (against Hollidaysburg). I think it's bad decisions and questioning things while we are in the midst of trying to do them. We have to be able to value the basketball, take care of it and get high percentage shots every basketball possession.
Scott Slayton
We played together like the whole season. But missed shots and turnovers beat us. We'll be back at it next year.
Brittany Johnson
We jumped on them early ... we caused turnovers got some baskets and protected the ball well.
Jeff Tarkowski
This gave us an opportunity to get all our players some valuable floor time. We shot very well, and didn't commit many turnovers.
Chuck Benda
All three phases did a good job tonight. We were able to score off turnovers.
Anthony Calvillo
We can't commit eight turnovers this year and expect to win. We have to take care of the ball.
Sean Brennan
We've had ability in the past to not let one problem totally halt our ability to put our noses down and drive forward, ... But turnovers take the ball out of your hands so you really can't control your destiny from that point on.
William Henderson
The press got us back in the game. We got some turnovers and some easy baskets. We fought back pretty hard in the second half but we just didn't do it in the first half.
Mark Patton
We really did a good job on limiting our turnovers, which we thought would be a key, but they're big and strong and they really beat us on the boards. They just wore us down the last 10, 12 minutes. They got a lot of easy baskets.
Gary Garner
We made mistakes, too. We had two big turnovers, and one down there in the red zone. Everyone made mistakes. The difference was about making big plays.
Antwaan Randle El
Turnovers, turnovers. And when you miss a lay-up, or you miss a free throw, that's a turnover.
Herman Walton
This was our best overall effort of the season. The team played so smart tonight. We had only 13 turnovers - a season-low. We also went 13-for-15 (86.7 percent) from the line -- a season-best.
Matt Lantier
We had four turnovers last week, ... That's not going to put you in a position to win. We've had a lot of penalties off and on this year. We need to cut down on all of those things. You can't win doing that and our kids know that. We just have to keep on working.
Mark Walker
We just didn't capitalize on turnovers and committed too many ourselves. Our game on Friday against West Branch is going to be a dogfight and we need to play cleaner ball so we can pull one out.
Justin Brown
Denali does a great job of applying ball-pressure. She's obviously quick and she works hard, but she's also very smart. We like to use her against the opposing team's point guard. She creates turnovers and really disrupts their offensive flow.
Larry Hoff
Maggie and Erin have been a tremendous 1-2 punch and Taylor has stepped up to make some big shots. We're scoring a lot of points with our shooting and we've also been doing a good job forcing turnovers that have fueled our fast break.
Dave Brogioli
Let's give Montreal credit. They played us real well. If we didn't get the turnovers from our defense, we'd have taken it on the chin. Our guys made one more play than they did.
Dave Dickenson
Arlington is a fast team who likes to attack. They definitely used their home field to their advantage, with a lot of double-teams in the midfield looking to force turnovers.
Suzanne Ontso
Everything was going our way in the first half. We had too many turnovers, missed free throws and bad shots in the second half, and they capitalized.
Keith Robinson
We try to pride ourselves on defense. I'd like to think that had something to do with their turnovers.
Pete Lewinski
We shot the ball well and that usually makes good things happen. (Bracken County) was undermanned and that really made it tough for them. We were able take advantage and get some turnovers and some easy baskets. When they went to the zone, we were able to knock some shots down.
Chris O'hearn
They got the turnovers and capitalized on them. That's something we've always done. They made the big plays and we didn't. That's the bottom line.
Lee Campbell
The first half was gruesome. Neither team could buy a basket. Both teams were sluggish, and it was a slow-motion game -- very choppy and with little flow. It was an off night for both of us, but we made a nice run at the end, forcing some turnovers with our press and this was a nice win to get, especially because it gives us something to play for the rest of the way.
Mark Aronson
We didn't get rattled by (the dunk) at all. Defense won it for us. The turnovers created a lot of energy, and we play off of energy.
Mark Simon
I think the blame is on everybody. But if you can't improve defensively, if you can't improve in limiting turnovers, then you need a change in personnel.
Danny Ainge
We wanted to ... play good, solid defense and see what came from it. Thirty turnovers -- we'll take that any day.
Helen Lahrman
I think if it is Garcia, having practiced against him every day would help a lot, but I wouldn't go into the game expecting seven turnovers just because you know the guy. It works both ways. We know him, but he knows us from practicing against us. We both do film study. It will come down to who is more prepared and who executes better.
Daylon Mccutcheon
We felt good about it. And we had some opportunities in overtime, but we had some untimely turnovers, too. But give Mac credit. They play a lot of pressure defense and they're good about forcing turnovers.
Phil Anderson
When you figure it out, most of their points in the first half came from us, with the turnovers and the (free throws). They were unconscious with their (free throws), ... I think we capitalized on their mistakes more in the second half, and we played with more composure.
Tim Conley
I think we came out pretty intense with our full-court defense. We were able to cause some turnovers and get some transitions baskets.
Mark Ammann
We picked them up full-court and pressed because we didn't want them to start stalling on us. In the past, teams have tried to hold the ball against us. We didn't want that to happen tonight, so we forced a few turnovers and started to run a little bit.
Bob Letsch
It was just tough all around. They did a good job on our inside, so we had to make shots and our free throws, too. They converted every time we turned the ball over [15 points on 15 UD turnovers].
Rulon Washington
They are an athletic team. We will have to box out well, and keep them off the offensive boards. We will need to play solid man to man defense, and keep turnovers down on offense.
Gregg Downer
We've been scraping a couple of wins out. But, in the long run, we're not going to be able to win without limiting our turnovers, and we know that.
Amy Denson
The two turnovers in the third quarter were huge. They gave us momentum in the second half, and helped us pull away.
Byron Allen
The first order of business for us is to take care of the basketball. They're quick and they overplay the passing lanes. We have to have fewer than 10 turnovers in this game to be competitive, and we have to hone in on those two players and not let them beat us.
Matt Winkler
I feel like we did a good job of forcing turnovers and getting easy baskets.
Brett Graham
We tried to pressure them three-quarter court. We tried to pick up the pace and force a lot of turnovers, we were really where we wanted to be tonight.
Dean Rahas
We've got to execute offensively tomorrow and cut down on turnovers. They are a great team defensive team.
Steve Bender
We can blame turnovers and defense and you can blame Ray Allen also. He hit shots like I can't even explain.
Sebastian Telfair
I think the guys are getting the sense of what it's going to take to win games, and limiting our turnovers and getting some better chances, ... I think we're learning a little bit from that.
Dean Mcammond
We came out strong in Albany, building a 21-7 lead at one time and forcing some turnovers and rushed shots with our press. They came back with their own pressure and closed the gap. The difference in the game was our steady and consistent defensive pressure and strong rebounding.
Phil Carlson
I thought our pressure was good. We were able to capitalize on some turnovers and both Missy and Kayla played real well.
Mickey Blatnik
Our kids really fought to get back in the game and gave themselves a chance to win. We had to play so hard to overcome a lot. We had to play perfectly in a lot of areas. We had to make fewer turnovers, we had to get more rebounds and we had to get to the free throw line more than we did. It was tough to overcome but we gave it a shot.
Kent Adams
They make a lot of plays. This team feeds on turnovers. Last year they were able to do that. We have to limit turnovers, run the football and be smart.
Brian Griese
We had a few turnovers early on and our goal was to minimize those. Later we did a good job of showing patience and not forcing shots and passes. We made some nice east-west passes and we were able to hit the high targets. We have some speedy players on the high targets and if we don't force it, we get some great shots.
Stacey Freda
I thought we did a nice job of forcing turnovers and that was a key to winning the game. They got within five and we had to force a few turnovers in order to put them away.
Debbie Ryan
It was like watching a track meet in that third quarter. That, poor passing and too many turnovers is what gave Coolidge the game.
Randy Ashley
Chester played more like we do, with ball pressure out front. We just didn't do a very good job of taking care of the ball. There were lots of turnovers.
Bret Thompson
We were able to pressure their guards into some turnovers that led to easy baskets. We used our defense to propel our offense and it gave us energy.
Stu Vetter
Our pressure frustrated them and created some easy opportunities for ourselves. South Medford had 11 turnovers in the first half, and we turned most of those into transition buckets.
Tim Karrick
We came out and played with a lot of energy. We had a pretty good game plan, but we just let it get away from us. We had too many turnovers early and dug ourselves a hole. We do not have enough scorers to be able to dig ourselves out of a hole.
Steve Holloway
We committed way too many turnovers (in the fourth). We allowed them to get easy steals and those led to some easy baskets.
Mark Douglass
We had turnovers on five of six possessions against Old Mill. We've had trouble getting over that loss and we're trying to re-establish ourselves.
Darryl Adams
The story of the game was our ability to create turnovers and get to the free throw line.
Randy Sherman
UIS made some big shots. We had some turnovers that really hurt us were self-inflicted. Those were big plays. It's a championship game, and you make the big plays. I felt proud our kids came back again. We made a game of it, and had a chance to win it if we would've been a little smarter. But we had a young team and those things happen sometimes. Give UIS credit, they did a nice job.
Harry Statham
We started to execute more and our team did not have as many turnovers. We just played better as a team in the fourth quarter. I was a little nervous at first, a little nervous. They played us real tough, but we came through.
Ben Brooks
We had our chances, but we didn't take advantage of them. The kids played hard, but we missed too many free throws and had too many turnovers.
Barry Mcfadden
We pressed and were able to create some turnovers and from there, they had to start fouling.
Gary Beutler
They make a lot of plays and feed on turnovers. Last year, they were able to do that, and this year, in the first game, obviously they were able to do that. So we have to limit the turnovers, run the football and be smart.
Brian Griese
I think we forced a few turnovers, but we forced a few tough shots. Then we got a little more patient on offense and got some good shots for our scorers.
Chris Dubose
I think the thing I am most pleased with is how good it is to see an inexperienced team accept the challenge that they did this week. The defense, the tackling in the running game, the turnovers, the sacks that weren't there last week were here. We told them if they just work at the little things, they would come.
Jeff Fisher
Through our first seven games, we had almost twice as many turnovers as assists (117 to 59) and, believe it or not, we were 4-3.
Tom Catanzarite
Those turnovers, they just about kill ya'. But our kids sucked it up when we committed ours and did an awesome job. It's been that way ever since we started running our defense three years ago. The turnover ratio has made a huge difference for us.
Dan Cocannouer
It was a big night for us with the turnovers. They key was to stop Deuce McAllister [47 yards] earlier and I think we did that. Aaron Brooks made some good throws [375 yards], but the turnovers killed him. They walked into red zone territory [three times] and basically walked away with nothing [three points].
Antonio Pierce
We had opportunities, but we were 2-for-10 from the field in the first quarter and we missed our first 12 three-point attempts. We shot 45 percent in the second and third, but that's when we had 15 of our 22 turnovers.
Tommy Aldridge
We got too tight. Turnovers are something we've had a problem with and have to work on.
Randy Ritter
The three games we've played this season, turnovers have been our nemesis. We're losing possessions and giving that team an extra possession.
Craig Whelihan
Our offense is based on our defense. We use a full court press most of the time and try to steal passes and force turnovers then push the floor.
Darris Olson
We just made too many turnovers and you can't do that against a good team like Starkville, ... We had a chance to win there at the end, but Starkville just sucked it up and we didn't. I'd be surprised if our guys don't bounce back next week.
Dennis Allen
We backed off in the third quarter. We had some turnovers and they got on a roll. Cabell Midland can score. We want back to the pressure and got on a roll ourselves.
Lonnie Lucas
[Morrilton, ranked No. 6 in Class AAAA by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, was also dogged by seven turnovers that led to 20 PA points. The Bruins, ranked No. 2 in Class AAA by the ADG, led 21-0 at halftime.] We just have to execute better, ... We can't turn the ball over (seven) times. That night, our minds were not ready to play.
Chris Hill
We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half. I think half their points were on transition off from our misses and turnovers. We got about five or six stops out of seven of their possessions. I think the first four or five minutes of the third quarter we played great defense.
Randy Mcallister
This was a big win for us. We stepped up and played with a lot of energy tonight. We made some turnovers at the end, but we came together and played well.
Jasper Williams
We had control in the first half, but in the fourth quarter their pressure defense got to us and caused turnovers that led to quick points.
Bob Morris
The girls responded well and forced turnovers in the second half.
Gene Rasmussen
Saying that I am unhappy with the turnovers does not even come close to it. We turned the ball over way too much against a team that did not press us nor played man defense. But the one thing that kept us in the game was our rebounding.
Dave Stricklin
We didn't pass the ball like we normally do and we couldn't use our size advantage inside or our transition game. Niles forced some turnovers and scored off them and we just didn't do that.
John Cullen
We've never been a real good shooting team. Credit to Dedham defensively to force us to shoot even quicker than we normally would, but I thought we missed a lot of easy shots and we had turnovers at inopportune times.
Bo Ruggiero
It was a total lack of focus, concentration and intensity. You add all that up and it equals 27 turnovers and a loss.
Jay Sparks
We had three turnovers real quick to open the quarter and took a couple of quick shots. They got a four-point lead and went to that four corners and that was it.
Ken Crawford
We still have to hit home on defense. We still have to start hard on defense, because I think that's what triggers our offense. Once we get on offense, we have to take care of the ball. Our turnovers are really what's killing us right now. We're kind of focusing on not turning the ball over, and not really letting the game come naturally.
Carlai Moore
We've always had that problem. Throughout the year, that's what we've been fighting. We've tried to cut down on turnovers and, obviously, we didn't do that once again.
Kelsey Lavender
We just didn't make enough plays. We didn't force enough turnovers.
Tyrone Nix
This is probably the second-most devastating loss of my career. We should have won this one and we let it get away. We had 21 turnovers and most of those came in the second half.
Carolyn Wright
We had some good moments in the game, but that's not playing the game for the full 40 minutes like we needed to. You give up 16 turnovers to their (season-low) five, and that's just too much of a difference in a grind-it-out, possession-type game like this.
Kirk Speraw
It wasn't some huge game plan. You try to get turnovers. We just wanted to make tackles and not let Culpepper scramble.
John Thornton
All of the turnovers were big plays.
John Cooper
We just had trouble shooting the ball. We had 15 turnovers in the first half and trailed by just 10. We only had four turnovers in the second half, but we just shot poorly.
John Sloop
We had passive turnovers where we were turning it over on the pass. If we play with more confidence and more aggressively on our passes and our drives, I think we would have fewer turnovers.
Jamaal Moore
They're a very good team and they have a great inside game, force a lot of turnovers and are the only team with three senior starters this weekend.
Stefanie Pemper
We had a lot of turnovers (11 in the first half) and cold shooting (5-for-27 in the first half), and those are two things you can't let happen to you to start a game.
Chris Copeland
We're working on cutting down on our turnovers. We're getting better but we had a lull there in the second.
Dennis Melcher
She had zero turnovers, and she slowed the ball down and ran the offense when we needed it.
Mary Psenda
We definitely didn't play our 'A' game (against UND). But we only had five turnovers and just 10 fouls. It's rare to be able to do that on the road.
Dave Boots
It's their home court, we make 28 turnovers, and we lost by four. I don't know if their [No. 10] ranking is all it's cracked up to be.
Marcel Jones
We didn't even shoot the ball well from the line. Other than shooting poorly we didn't play to bad. We only had 11 turnovers and that's not bad.
Jim Vaughan
With 17 turnovers, there are 17 possessions you don't have to even take a shot, let alone get a good one.
Brian Ricci
Desmond Phillips did an excellent job creating turnovers during the whole tournament.
Gary Goode
It was a real tight game. We are still plagued by turnovers, and found ourselves in a rush during the game. We found ourselves going down the court before we ever had the ball in our hands.
Linda Pruitt
Turnovers always hurt you, and when you combine that with the way we were shooting, it makes it tough.
Dub Huckabee
We just didn't play well enough to win tonight. We had our chances, but we also had some careless turnovers. That's pretty much what it came down to.
Shawn Knaub
I thought it was good. We had the game completely in control. But we had some turnovers and they came up with the big plays. It's a frustrating way to end the season.
Alana Erickson
We came out and got some easy baskets off our transition. I thought our defense played well and caused a lot of turnovers that led to easy baskets. I thought we shot the ball well, too.
Rodney Selph
Defensively, they really played a solid game all night, and I'm proud of them. I'm real impressed with our defense; did what they said they were going to do: 'Try our best.' Played aggressive football — running to the football, making tackles ... they forced a lot of turnovers in the second half.
Billy Sparacio
Carelessness. You don't deserve to win games when you make turnovers in those situations.
Chris Graves
We just had a lot of turnovers. [Dinuba] puts on a lot of pressure and wears you down.
Kelly Rother
We never really recovered. We came out in the third quarter and just tanked it. We had too many turnovers and too many fouls and just never got in a rhythm.
Tim Karrick
We turned the ball over eight times in the first quarter, and four times again in the second, and 12 turnovers is not getting it done. We had over 50 percent shooting in the first half, we just couldn't get enough shots off.
Jon Hampton
We've got to take care of the football. We can't turn the ball over that many times and beat very many people. But we've got to create turnovers too to beat people.
Charlie Weatherbie
In the third quarter, we came out and had a couple turnovers and a couple bad passes. Pretty soon, we were down 10. We were battling back and forth after that.
Steve Jaskulske
Coach Hill said the game was closer than the final win margin because the Bears were down by only five, but made several turnovers in the final seconds of play. He could not remember the final score, but said the Rams won by twelve.
Raymond Robertson
We had quite a game in New Haven. We played an up-tempo game. We caused Cross numerous turnovers (36 for the game) to offset the height advantage.
Ted Kaczynski
If we can eliminate those turnovers, then we will definitely be right there with them.
Casey Mcdowell
This was a great basketball game. Our defensive plan worked pretty well, and someone stepped up offensively when we needed it. We made it more interesting than we needed to with turnovers, but we're happy with the win.
Mike Royer
I thought we came out in the first half extremely focused and very intense. They just never did have any easy passes and we were able to convert some turnovers to get a little bit of a lead.
Bret Teutken
I thought we made way too many turnovers in the first half. We just weren't able to get enough shots to give ourselves a chance to take control of the game.
Scott Paxson
They hurt us with the press and we turned it over too much. Some of it was their press and some of it was us. We just didn't execute (on the press break). And we missed too many free throws. If we cut our turnovers in half and hit our free throws, we're there. But that's a hell of a team.
Joe Killilea
Turnovers are something that kind of come with being comfortable with what you're doing and comfortable in the fact that you know what their offense is doing, and then you can make a play. Somebody's got to go out there and get one, and then it can build and you have a big day.
Brandon Noble
The biggest improvement would have to be how they made good choices on where and when to attack on offense. We were also able to convert several turnovers into points.
Todd Wetterling
With all the turnovers, they still fought through. If we hadn't turned the ball over so much, we probably would have had six or seven more points on the scoreboard. They key was defense. We won it with our 'D' at the end.
Hugh Roberts
That's our goal this year, to force teams into third and long, ... Stop the run, stop the run, then attack. Because we've got the type of defense on third downs that can force turnovers.
John Pease
I thought we came out with a little spark in the second half. We started to play man (defense), and that created some turnovers.
Gray Harrison
Thousand Oaks is a very aggressive offensive rebounding team. That was a major concern. So I'm pretty happy with the rebound totals. But the turnovers kind of negate the rebounding edge.
Scott Ogden
The first-half turnovers killed us. We were not disciplined with the ball.
Lana Tomlin
We made a good run at them in the third and fourth quarters, but we couldn't get a final stop. The big story was our 36 turnovers. We had 15 of them in the second quarter.
Darren Marshall
We battled all night. We just missed some free throws and had some turnovers at the end and we were never able to get it closer.
Todd Walden
Against a team like Ashland, which is so much more athletic than we are, you can't give them (38) turnovers.
Chuck Woelfel
Turnovers had a lot to do with it and not executing like we needed to. For some reason were catching cramps tonight and I don't know what that was all about. We hydrate probably more than everybody in the state. Some of our key players were not in there during the last part of the game when we needed them.
Robert Leslie
I'm pleased we won. That shows character. ... I'm more concerned with the fact that we found ways to self destruct. It's the same as was last week (against Florida International), three turnovers and 90 yards in penalties.
Bill Snyder
We came out playing hard, we just committed too many turnovers. He (Thomas) makes a big difference. He runs the team. He hit some big clutch shots at the end.
Toussaint Tyler
We had a few turnovers there at crunch time and we have to learn from that. That can be the difference between a playoff team and a middle of the road team. Basketball is a game of little things and we didn't do the little things very well tonight.
Shea Fleenor
We want to finish the last third of the season in a positive way. This is a game (against Arthur Hill) where you don't want to make a mistake. You don't want turnovers, and you don't want to give up a big play.
Kurt Faust
I think Thomas was just happy that we won a home game. We've had just two home games (out of nine contests overall) and we have to be able to win at home. What I like about Thomas is that he's really cut way down on his turnovers this season. He handles the ball a lot more, yet he's become much more disciplined.
Wayne Hanscom
In recent games, our most improvement has been in limiting our turnovers. We're still turning the ball over too much, but we're improving in that area. Defensively, we're fine. It's our turnovers that are giving our opponents double their chances.
Ron Wister
We missed two many shots and had too many turnovers. They did a good job, defensively, on us, and when they expanded their defense, our guards didn't take advantage.
Lou Palkovics
Weldon's a big difference. Their turnovers were down big from the last game. The second quarter was the only time we played our style of basketball.
Brian Golub
We got some early turnovers. We took advantage a little of them not starting their regular lineup. We controlled the tempo except for that one flurry.
Rich Kolimas
(Myrick) knows it's not her fault. We didn't make free throws. We had more than 20 turnovers. Everyone made mistakes.
Rosetta Hollis
We made a little adjustment on our press, and that gave them some fits. We got a lot of turnovers and a lot of buckets. It's a thing of momentum.
George Robinson
We converted just enough but as the play caller tonight, I was somewhat unhappy. There were balls under thrown or thrown in the wrong place. That's three touchdowns, maybe four, taken away by turnovers.
Richard Moncrief
We started to gain confidence from turnovers that the defense was coming up with, and it gave our offense a better outlet for attacking. When the defense is strong and playing like that you can take a lot more risks.
Liza Kelly
They pressed us t he whole game and we knew what we needed to do against it; we just didn't do it. Turnovers hurt us. They took advantage and played a very up-tempo style. This game was a good measuring stick to show how far we need to go to make ourselves equally as good.
Chad Allan
We really stepped up tonight when we had to many turnovers. It's not often you will turn the ball over that many times and still win. We had a lot of great plays by a lot of individual players. We made to many mistakes but we did to a lot of good things to build on.
John Hayes
Our turnovers were a real problem in the first half. We just shot so poorly. If you shoot a little bit better and don't turn it over quite so much, to me that was the whole game. We just didn't shoot the ball tonight.
Don Davidson
I can't believe they stopped them five times inside the 30 after the turnovers in the first half. They won the game for us.
Kyle Miller
I don't mind some turnovers when we're trapped or pressed, but a lot of them were unforced. We were careless with the ball.
Steve Monks
We had seven assists to 18 turnovers. That's a horrible ratio.
