She struggled early; I think she had two or three turnovers right off the bat. I yanked her tail out and said, 'Hey, you're going to have to play better if we're going to be successful.' And it usually rotates through her and Helen on how well we're going to play.

Jeff Knoy

We couldn't knock shots down at the end. We had a couple of turnovers and they had a couple of easy baskets. We had a couple of good looks on our end and they didn't go down and that was the ball game.

Troy Hudson

We played with better intensity on defense in the second quarter. Plus, we converted on their turnovers. Overall, I'd say we played good defense.

Calvin Saunders

We wanted a turnover on that one. This football team has come together a lot in that regard. We started out where we were plagued with turnovers at the beginning of the year, and we didn't have any last week. We didn't have one tonight.

Dan Hinds

We were able to create some turnovers and we stopped turning it over.

Matt Campbell

The way to score with our system is to force turnovers and to not give up big plays. That is one of the reasons that the game went the way it did.

Mike Sivertson

We played tremendous defense in the third quarter. We rebounded well and cut our turnovers down in the second half.

Mark Krusz

I know I've said it before, but we are really blessed to have three guards like those guys. Our turnovers have just been outstanding the last three or four games and it comes from those guys having the ball in their hands late.

Dan Pfaff

What can you do? I felt that we really beat ourselves. We had a lot of turnovers. You're not going to win many games with that (17 of 52 shooting).

Ramon Daguinsin

We're young and we're learning how to get the ball up the floor. We had a great first quarter, but we lost steam and lost focus a little bit and the turnovers killed us. They got all the boards and they just took it away from us.

Travis Paquet

They were the aggressor all night long. You can't beat Carolina by committing 29 turnovers. They're probably the most athletic team in the country. We just didn't handle them very well.

Mike Petersen

We played hard, but it's the same thing every time. We've got to cut down on our turnovers. I would've liked to have stayed in the zone all game, but their shooters did a great job in the first half.

Clay Cockett

They capitalize on all our mistakes which is why they won the last time. I think communication within the defense will help us be more aware and if we minimize our turnovers we should be fine.

Sarah Kovach

Taking care of the ball is very important, and from what we've seen they've caused quite a few turnovers and trouble for other teams. It's going to be key for us to take care of the ball against the full-court press that they're likely to put on.

Shona Thorburn

It was turnovers both ways, so I guess it all equaled out in the end. They played well, we played well. It turned out our way, I guess. We made shots in the end.

Natalie Taylor

We knew how good Wendell was. And we knew they would make a run. The question was how good would we handle their run. We handled their pressure but the turnovers hurt us. They came out and rebounded the second half and got our guys in foul trouble. Davis hit some NBA threes in the second half that he missed in the first half.

Shawn Moffitt

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

We're getting better looks at the basket, but we still played out of character. We missed free throw shots, we made turnovers and they outplayed us. That's how you lose games.

Kirk Kaczor

I thought we held our composure pretty well. We just had trouble finishing. It was a lot more than the free throws. They had 14 offensive rebounds and we had 16 turnovers. That's 30 extra possessions for them.

Jim Nazos

The turnovers gave us momentum and gave our offense more chances to score. We've been pretty good at forcing them this season.

Josh Wilson

We need to eliminate the mistakes that we're making that we can control. Unnecessary turnovers. We had two of them right there at the end of the first half that didn't have anything to do with (UNC).

Leonard Hamilton

We need to take care of the ball. From what we've seen, their press can cause a lot of turnovers. We need to take care of the ball and keep moving it around.

Shona Thorburn

(The turnovers) are obviously deflating. For the second straight week, we gained over 350 yards of offense, and the defense gained a lot of confidence. But our main goal (for Friday's home game against El Diamante) is to have no turnovers.

Jon Hitchen

When you have eight turnovers and you have the ball at mid-field with a minute and forty to go and you have a chance to win the game, that's interesting in itself. It shows the type of effort we got from all the guys and we never gave up, we kept competing.

Dean Gordon Brown

Against them it is fatal if you give away turnovers. We have looked at their games and they score 80 percent of their tries from turnovers. It is simply a matter of making sure you don't give them any turnovers and that you look after the ball for the entire game.

Naka Drotske

We just made some bad decisions leading to turnovers. We didn't close down on their outside shooters in some key spots and they knocked the shots down.

Brian Stevens

Bryant's rebounding was key to the win, considering the size Laurinburg has. I was surprised we were able to press them. But they had a ton of turnovers.

Lewis Thorpe

All four of them are good players. We will miss them. Tonight, we just missed too many free throws and had too many turnovers. The kids never quit, and played as hard as they could all the way.

Lance Bennett

We've played a tough schedule, including six teams in the top 20. South Laurel is a good team. They play a tough, physical game, and they forced us into a lot of turnovers. But I like my team. Southwestern and Lincoln County are rated above us. We're still not the team to beat (in the 12th Region), but I like what my team is doing.

Ronnie Bottoms

We had only eight turnovers and had 13 assists. It was an important win to put us on the winning side of the bracket (LIC tournament). There is no question Megan leads us statistically. She doesn't try and press anything. Last year she led us in scoring and rebounding. We kind of knew she was going to have a successful year.

Barry Eckerty

Our defensive played well but couldn't connect on the offensive side. Turnovers and poor shooting hurt us. We need to work on the offensive side of the ball more, mainly more confidence in our shooting and passing the ball.

Nathan Peitz

We really struggled in all facets tonight. We didn't shoot well and we had a lot of turnovers. Solon Springs came in ready to play and they took it to us. But our kids really buckled down when they needed to and that allowed us to get the win.

Jack Nelson

The No. 1 thing for us is points allowed. Then it's turnovers and turnover ratio. You can have all the turnovers in the world, but if the offense is turning it over, too, you're not going to be in a good situation.

Chuck Bresnahan

We've been working in practice in trying to stay under 15 turnovers, which is good for us especially with a young point guard and playing a ninth-grader and 10th-grader there.

Seber Windham

Our defense played great. They got a lot of turnovers and the offense needed to respond and score touchdowns.

Brett Basanez

I wish we hadn't given up the screen, and we didn't play well in the red area. Other than that, we made some plays on the ball and made some turnovers. We've got to continue to progress.

Will Muschamp

All of the hustle things in that last game, I liked. The other things, the turnovers and pressing, well, I didn't like that. If we can eliminate those things, we could be leading this thing instead of being where we're at right now.

Bob Weiss

We're beating ourselves. If you give up 13 offensive rebounds and don't control turnovers you just can't win.

Mike Power

We felt we could pick 'em up at 94 feet. We were able to create 23 turnovers. And we didn't give up any easy baskets.

Doc Sadler

We gave away so many opportunities with the turnovers. They didn't score on them, but they took us out of scoring. I thought we played so passive in all three of the overtimes once we got the lead. We were trying to hold on to the lead instead of being aggressive.

Doc Rivers

Bath's an excellent team. They'll win their share of football games this season, that's for sure. We had some chances to put it away, but we made too many turnovers and had too many penalties.

Randy Woods

Going into the game, we were hoping to limit ourselves to no more than 15 turnovers. Any more than that, we knew we'd be in trouble.

Matt Koff

Turnovers were the killers tonight. One minute, it's a one-point game, the next minute it's seven points.

Matt Copeland

It was huge win for us. It wasn't like we got a lot of breaks or turnovers. We simply stopped what Chicago was trying to do on offense, while our offense clicked on every possession.

Jay Gruden

Turnovers played a role in all of our losses this year. They're going to happen, but we have to keep working to eliminate as many of them as possible.

Joe Crocco

I think we've learned about how we can win games here, and how we lose games. And going into the final eight games I think if we can control the turnovers and we can control penalties and always go out and play physical, we're going to be sitting pretty good at the end of the year.

Jon Jansen

Giving up 28 points in the first quarter is atrocious. We had seven turnovers in the first quarter, which all led to buckets. We just weren't ready for the pace. They're short, and they're up and down the floor.

Doug Galloway

I also teach the punt as an offensive weapon. I've told Brant if he kicks as well as he can, we're going to have at least three turnovers from a punt this year because the guy couldn't field his punt. Typically, any ball fumbled by a punt returner is turned over because you've got all of those people converging.

David Roe

We lost to them by four the first time we played (this year). The key to this one was that early in the first we pressed and got some turnovers and some easy buckets. We were winning 11-4 in the first quarter, and every quarter after that was pretty well even.

Kevin Plasterer

Russia's weakness is that they have a lot of individual skill, but they're not playing as a team. And when you play against a good team like we've been doing the whole tournament, that's been the difference. You create turnovers and capitalize on them, we don't really care who scores. All we really care is about the win.

Jarkko Ruutu

I think them beating Oklahoma that bad caught most of us off guard. The (turnovers) in the first half shifted the momentum for good. It will be important for us to limit the turnovers and, if it does happen, we will have to put out the fire.

Frank Okam

We've got a very aggressive, trapping style of defense. And we get a lot of turnovers out of it. We've been able to get momentum with turnovers and score in transition.

Debbie Casto

We played a very good game for about 29 minutes. In the last three minutes, we had four costly turnovers. We had a nine-point lead with 3 minutes left. I know they had a three-point play and hit a 3-point shot. We missed a couple of shots and that turned it around for them. We played a good game though.

John Imlah

I wish we could have played all four quarters like that. We've been relying on our defense to get us going by creating turnovers. We didn't do a good job of that to start with, but in the last part of the third quarter and the fourth we really clamped down and were able to take control of the game.

Tony Pittman

In the third quarter, we just did not make the adjustment. We came out and had four turnovers and we never bounced back from that. But the kids work hard and keep hustling.

Wendee Warg

We played much better defense against them in the first half and we kept them from making runs and forcing turnovers to give them easy baskets.

Lynn Plett

Our strength is our transition game, so we knew if we could get it going early, we could establish some momentum. We forced some turnovers and got some easy baskets right away.

Andrea Wojtowicz

We can't afford to have turnovers against Raleigh. They're a good team. We have to get off to a faster start than we have been.

David Parker

We have been struggling. We let a team get into the game. and when a team goes up on you by 18 points it is hard to come back. We just got in some trouble with turnovers early on and that hurt us.

Jeff Shaw

So this is kinda new to us down here. The teams we've played are good and improved, but we also haven't been playing well. Turnovers keep plaguing us, as well as penalties at critical times.

Tommy Lee

We wanted not to turn the ball over and be patient. Unfortunately, we made some turnovers but we made our free throws.

Michael Parry

Too many mistakes. Too many turnovers. We let them keep too many drives going, too many penalties. I'm going to have to take a look at the film, but other than our defense, we have a lot of stuff to work on.

Bob Landsee

We had a lot of turnovers, a lot of penalties. That was our deal. They played pretty good. They prepared well and we played a lot of people. I think we had 600 yards of total offense. We shot ourselves in the foot -- but a win's a win.

Charles Anthony

We gave up the ball way too many times. Too many of our turnovers were unforced. We were able to pressure them (Panthers) into several turnovers, but we simply didn't protect the ball.

Andi Ferris

It was probably a couple of turnovers contributing to Carlton getting back into the game, but our ability to steady like we have done over the last couple of years got us over the line.

Paul Roos

I did think there was a lid on (the basket) for a while. We had unforced turnovers, too. We looked tight.

Ted Cunningham

We turned the ball over on six of our first seven possessions. The difference was we slowed it down and was more patient, and that resulted in fewer turnovers and better shots.

Thurman Pate

We got a few turnovers off of our press early. It's important for us to get some points off our defense.

Chris Mestl

Our turnovers led to their offense. We didn't do a very good job of taking care of the basketball. It just seemed liked our kids were a step slow mentally.

Andy Woodley

We had 17 turnovers in the first half, and like seven of them came in those three minutes. They did a good job of utilizing their press on non-ball handlers and converting.

Marcus White

They (Cal) started full court pressing us. And we didn't handle the pressure and make the right decisions at the right times. In overtime we had four critical turnovers that definitely cost us the game.

Amber Mcfeely

Defensive breakdowns, turnovers, no intensity, not playing physical, not shooting the puck, not driving to the net, not skating, not working hard.

Gerry Fleming

Part of it was turnovers and our communication in not talking to each other.

Natalie Jones

Definitely being on your home court is an advantage for us, but we'll still need to get our turnovers down if we want to win. And hopefully, this week, we won't need to work harder to overcome them.

Kristen Kovesdy

We are going to have to handle their pressure. They are very athletic. We simply can't commit any turnovers.

Brandy Corbett

You've got to give yourself a chance in the fourth quarter. I don't know what we were down in the fourth quarter and we turned it over three times in a row and that was a killer. You can't do that. It was just unforced turnovers.

Rick Adelman

I think the biggest reason they're 0-2 right now is their turnovers. I think they had five against Prep, and I think they threw three interceptions against First Baptist. I think they've played decently other than the plays when they've turned the ball over.

Tommy Lewis

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

Aaron Feddersen

We just didn't take care of the basketball. Part of that was Wauseon's defense, and part of that was that we were just trying to create too much with nothing. We had some turnovers we shouldn't have had.

Dave Krauss

We got to a point in the game where we were just throwing the ball away. Of course, when we made turnovers, they capitalized and made points off them.

Grover Battle

They tried to slow us down and keep possession of the ball so we just started to press them. We started to create turnovers and we took advantage of them.

Steve Shepanski

Turnovers were definitely the story of the game. Today it was a little different than what has happened early in the season, but I felt if we could have gone when we had the ball at the one, it would have changed the momentum of the game and instead it went in reverse.

Steve Mooshagian

The turnovers just killed us.

Nancy Winstel

We had some big stops. They had some turnovers. We hit a 3 and they would come down and turn it over.

Tommy Dukes

Our defense was fine, but our offense wasn't scoring. Ten turnovers doesn't help.

Kevin Lisch

You never want to lose, but this shows us what we need to work on. We didn't do what we needed to do early. They scored on a lot of our turnovers, and we were going up weak.

Lee Pipkin

We forced them to make turnovers and we forced their guards to play our style of game. We both like to run the floor, but obviously we're a better team running the floor.

Sean Mayberry

We're a great transition team. We like to get out and run. That's a big key for us. When we get turnovers, we can get out and run and fill the lanes, and get some shots.

Chris Enyeart

I think we had way too many turnovers and gave up way too many offensive rebounds. I talked to them (at halftime) about eliminating the turnovers and blocking out.

Willie Goolsby

They were getting us out of our offense. We were allowing that to happen because we weren't reading our schemes. So consequently, that created bad shots, turnovers and got them in transition.

Ben Gomez

We felt like we would run the ball well. The offensive line did a good job. We need to work on the passing game. Too many turnovers in the air.

Jeffrey Harness

The game swung on turnovers. We had more positives out of our turnovers than they did and that was the difference in the game.

Byron Walker

Wednesday was just one of those days where I guess nobody was ready to play. We had all those turnovers and played terrible. We turned it around today and came out focused and dictated the game to them. I know I tried to attack more and I always get into the game more when my teammates are into it.

David Lighty

We made a lot of bad plays down the stretch, but our guys kept playing hard through the turnovers, through everything. We still showed resilience, that we can win tough games.

Terrence Roberts

We played very good defense. And, we were able to create some turnovers.

Matt Berry

It was encouraging that we did a nice job on the glass but at the same time when you get to crunch time, those (mistakes) are the things that win you the game or lose you the game. We just had stupid turnovers the last three or four minutes.

Scott Sutton

We had a lead and we wanted to try and milk the clock, but a couple of turnovers late cost us with that plan. The kids played their hearts out and we shot ourselves, and we have a lot of work to do to face Chester again. Hopefully, we can have a strong showing in the states.

Gregg Downer

I didn't quite expect our boys to have such a hard time with turnovers. We just couldn't get in a good rhythm offensively and I don't have a good answer of why not.

Scott Arnell

We had a stretch where we had some turnovers. But (the players) kept their heads up and maintained intensity throughout the game.

Jay Murray

You want to eliminate the big plays, make them drive the field. On offense, we've got to be very aware of what we're going against. Turnovers will be very important in this game.

Rick Vernon

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

Our biggest challenge will be their quickness. We're going to try to play in the half-court. Number one, we have to make baskets. Number two, we'll need to limit turnovers and, number three, we have to defend and keep them in front of us.

Tony Harper

We've been able to control the football - our running game has been a strong point for us and we've stayed away from turnovers. But really we haven't done a thing yet.

Randy Roland

We played good man defense and the players got out into the passing lanes which caused some turnovers we converted into easy baskets.

Bill Ramsay

We still have some problems with decision making. We still make some bad passes. But we're working on it. We started out making 30 turnovers a game. Now we make less than 20, so we're working on it.

April Prutsman

It seems like yesterday that he was starting his first game as a freshman. If memory serves me correct, the first time he played he had 10 points, 10 assists and no turnovers, so I kind of knew after that night we had something special.

Paul Booth

After the turnovers, I think we dropped our heads a little.

Rob Evans

Obviously, that's a primary concern. We had far too many (turnovers). But we played a lot of guys today, which may have impacted that.

Mike Rasmussen

One of our points of emphasis at halftime was to stop the unforced turnovers Susquehanna committed 12. We also had to find a way to get defensive stops.

Jim Reed

Turnovers killed us. We put ourselves in a hole and we couldn't ever get out of it. We tried everything. They jumped on us early and kept the pressure on.

Chuck Tinninis

It's amazing what those situations can do. It changed the whole ... the game. If it's anything that's been killing us, it's turnovers. We've been turning it over too many times.

Damon Allen

I think we made some careless turnovers. We were getting good shots, but they were not going down.

Chris Hernandez

You can't have the kind of mistakes and turnovers we had if you are going to beat this good a team.

Kevin Huntley

We didn't start off well and I think that really helped their confidence. That's about my best stat sheet all season. I'm glad I cut down on my turnovers.

Porschia Holmes

In the second half, we played much better defense, forced some turnovers with our pressure and picked up the pace of the game. In the first half, we played the game at Plainfield's pace.

Mark Capasso

I was really happy with our effort. We forced some turnovers, but we didn't shoot the ball well enough to really put pressure on Burlington. But I was pleased with our effort.

Jeff Tank

Bemidji runs a tough full-court defense. They're athletic and they forced us to make some turnovers.

Andy Weirsma

In the first half we made too many mistakes. We had those 12 turnovers and honestly, the coaches felt we were lucky to be tied.

Joel Dunn

We went through segments of the game, that I thought we struggled a little bit with carelessness. I think some of our turnovers were because we forced players late in the shot clock to try and go make a play.

Deb Patterson

We got some points off turnovers finally and got the momentum back on our side. We just started making plays and I'd attribute that all to our mindset.

Bill Pilgeram

I knew we could force them into a lot of turnovers. When we do give up a basket, we like to come back down the other way and try to get a quick, easy score. That breaks the heart of the other team when you do that. Nobody's been able to run with us all year.

Jason Bumblis

Pine Plains outplayed us. They forced a lot of turnovers and we couldn't handle the pressure.

Brian Bishop

We haven't been able to create turnovers all season, and defensively we did that. We were able to take advantage of things offensively.

Casey Cavanaugh

We had other opportunities, too. We didn't cash in. Earlier in the first half, we didn't take care of the ball. We had some turnovers. It's not just one play that made the difference. A lot of things that played into this.

Jimmy Motz

We're really focused on rebounding and forcing turnovers. We know our defense is there; we need to work on our offense a little more.

Nate Nygren

In the second half, it was execution. They knocked down jump shots and we had some costly turnovers at times. I thought they picked it up defensively.

Mike Broderick

Julian's going to have some turnovers because of the way he plays, and we're going to have to live with some of them, but a couple of them, in my opinion, are just non-basketball-type plays.

Bill Self

Stats, we were toe-to-toe. It's the turnovers and the mental part. We gotta soul search a little and find the little things we did wrong.

Kevin Bouis

My main key is my defense. I'm not always offensive. I look to get turnovers and oftentimes, they end up in points.

Connie James

We are doing all the things you need to do to be successful, causing turnovers, taking care of the ball, rebounding, executing our offence. But the only thing missing is wins. It's very frustrating.

Gerald Wallace

Every time we've ever played, it comes down to turnovers, who can minimize them and who can exploit turnovers, ... We just have to go into the game ready to play and not make mistakes.

The Centre

We were a little bit quicker. We forced them into a lot of turnovers.

Wendy Price

They were clearly the better team. They ran the floor well and turnovers hurt us.

Rich Demuzio

We dug ourselves a little bit of a hole and we tried to fight back. We had too many turnovers. You can't do that against good basketball teams.

Jim Baron

Nick Flannery had a nice fourth quarter. We had a tough time containing him. We had too many turnovers down the stretch and they made their free throws.

Travis Sysko

You can't give up 15 offensive rebounds and I feel like Missouri State played hard, on a mission. And for us to have 16 turnovers against a team that doesn't press, that's not good. But the bottom line is we have to knock down shots. We had open looks and didn't hit them. It's surprising that we've struggled with that because of the shooters we have.

Robin Pingeton

When you play against a team like McKeesport, you can't play scared or they'll eat you alive. We battled them. Sure we're disappointed that we lost after having the game tied with 5 seconds left in the third quarter. But we committed too many turnovers.

Bill Swan

We tried to double team sometimes, and maybe that had something to do with it. If they throw you the ball and then you turn in a different direction and there's a man in your face, that's tough. Kids react differently and that got us turnovers.

Doug Aplin

We got a spark from [Grady], and we were able to hit six or eight straight points. We picked the pace up and were able to press and get some turnovers, and that got us back in the game.

Dwayne Howell

There's not a better back court, I believe, as far as their quickness, experience, defense and scoring. We've got the two best guards in northern Wisconsin. Both of them are very quick and their speed on offense wears the other team down on defense. When the other team gets worn down, that can cause more turnovers.

Dave Meade

All three goals came on turnovers. They took advantage of us. We've got to find a way to not turn the puck over.

Dallas Drake

The unforced turnovers are a concern. We got ahead of ourselves a little bit and maybe tried to play a little too fast a few times. Give Fort Dodge credit because they changed up defenses on us a lot and brought a lot of length and athleticism to the floor.

Vance Downs

I think the team played hard but we made way too many turnovers in the second half. We did a very poor job of execution down the stretch.

Josh Knecht

The turnovers killed us tonight. We have to be more consistent working the offense. We're still young, but we're looking here to keep getting better for districts.

Jennifer Kurelja

I was more happy with the effort. I was happy with our focus. We eliminated some of the careless turnovers we were making.

Marcus Knott

Lakeside hurt us a little with the option. But we preach getting turnovers. We won the turnover battle by three (5-2) and lost. We need to win those games.

Jimmy Henson

Maybe our team was a little star struck. But the turnovers had more to do with the size differential and the quickness differential.

Nancy Wilson

I don't think we've ever played a game that ugly. I don't remember ever missing that many point blank shots, making that many turnovers and still having the lead.

Allen Huddleston

We had too many stupid turnovers.

Vedran Vukusic

It was not a great game for us, we had too many turnovers. We did just enough to get the win.

Vince Zabinski

Basketball is a game of runs, and we had a run they didn't match. Our pressure led to some quick turnovers and some threes. That run ended up hurting them late in the game.

Dru Joyce

Mainly our game is putting pressure on the other team's offense, make them turn the ball over and capitalize on their turnovers.

Curt Courtwright

We've been playing pressure defense all year. We've been getting in the high 20's for turnovers all year.

Bill Bozue

It's crucial for us to give ourselves scoring chances on fast breaks. It all starts with our defense because we give ourselves a lot of scoring chances off of steals and turnovers.

Jason Ferrell

We didn't tackle very well. When you have good backs like that, you have to get a hat on them. We had a little momentum in the third quarter, but the turnovers hurt. They made big play after big play. We bent too much on defense.

Chip Mcmillian

This is a tremendous lift for us going into our regional schedule. The biggest difference tonight was to cut down on the turnovers and our defense stopped them enough times to help us win.

Dan Davis

We knew that once we got the lead, we'd keep the lead. The turnovers we were able to get changed everything.

Blake Johnson

I called a timeout when they cut it to 13 and the team responded and they responded again when they (Titans) cut it to 10. They put the press on, got a couple of turnovers, but we responded to it.

Larry Reynolds

We were prepared for it and they were just tougher than we were. When we handled the pressure, they actually took the ball out of our hands and started the break. You can't defend turnovers.

Bobby Collins

[The turnovers] played a major role. Basically, we couldn't get it in our offensive end. Whenever we had it on offense we were able to do a lot, but when you turn it over that many times you can't get the offense going.

Nick Schooler

We knew their defense was going to cause us to play faster than we're used to. A lot of times that leads to poor execution and turnovers. We had a good week of practice preparing for this weekend and one of the things this weekend was being able to execute offensively at a higher pace, and we were able to do that.

Jody Rhodes

Besides some unnecessary turnovers, I was proud of our teams' overall play. I can see potential.

Susan Walvius

Our defensive effort was good from the opening tip and that's something we've focused on in practice all week. We had a few breakdowns at Massachusetts, which was unlike us. It was a good week to focus on the defensive end. We created a lot of havoc, a lot of turnovers.

Joe Mckeown

That was a big turning point. With turnovers, that kind of tips the balances a little bit.

Rief Gilg

I thought we played real well, we created a lot of turnovers. We spend almost 90 percent of our time in practice working on defense and trying to force turnovers.

Wayne Shelton

We gave up one long pass play and had two turnovers. Other than those plays, I felt we dominated the game.

Jerry Cooper

The biggest key was we didn't shoot the ball very well. We usually force 25-30 turnovers per game, but we usually shoot better. We're not the greatest shooting team, but we shoot better than this.

Mark Short

Twenty-four turnovers, especially at this time of year, is kind of scary. I really can't explain it.

Christine Labombard

This team has the potential for a big season. The offense must reduce the number of turnovers, and the defense must stop the run. Also, we must remain injury-free.

Rick Rios

Late in the third and fourth quarters we just had too many turnovers and let them get into the game. We had 20 turnovers against a good team, and that was our downfall.

Darren Mathews

Turnovers don't always happen when the ball hits the ground, sometimes it's just a matter of getting the other team's offence off the field.

John Grace

Our young guys aren't hurting us right now. Our veterans have got to step up in a game like this. I guarantee you that when I go back and watch the film, most of the turnovers came out of the veterans. That's where they have to step up.

Steve Mcclain

It was ugly -- 12 turnovers in the first quarter. I don't know if we got into the holiday fudge early or what, but it brought back visions of last year. I give (Reynolds) credit -- they played well. We also helped them, though.

Dan Boyd

Their stall might have re-energized their defense as well. They forced turnovers on us that really caused us trouble.

Matt Schmelzer

Our defense is what did it for us tonight. We talked about two things: creating turnovers and rebounding well.

Nick Greenwell

The key was when we went to our full-court press. It led to some turnovers, but more importantly it kind of changes the tempo of the game when things weren't going so hot.

Larry Bullington

We just couldn't get anything going. Not a productive night. My goal has been not just yards or numbers, but to make good decisions and not have any turnovers. I didn't make good decisions and I had a turnover.

Aaron Rodgers

Our Achilles heel was turnovers. We had 26 turnovers in the game. You can't beat a good team that way. Northwest will make you pay for it.

Todd Kimble

They're creating a lot of turnovers (about 20 per game) out of their defense.

Robert Corn

Our everyday problems that we have been unable to solve are our turnovers. We just aren't paying attention to detail.

Bill Laimbeer

We forced probably 20-25 turnovers, so we were playing good defense. We didn't give them many shots.

Shane Foster

Even down 10, we had opportunities. Turnovers and poor execution on offense got us tonight.

Jason Floetke

When we jumped out to the early lead, we were able to play loose. Our shots started dropping and our press was creating turnovers. During any game, our responsibility is to play the best we can, no matter what the situation.

Lane Lewallen

I expected to make a few mistakes. Our adrenaline was up and we were playing against a top team. We had a few of those turnovers we were expecting, but the girls responded back.

Jim Bageanis

A lot of people don't realize how much of an impact (Kennedy) has because she doesn't score a bunch of points. She causes a lot of turnovers and plays great defense all over the floor. Almost every steal we get is created by her defense and hustle. She doesn't get enough credit.

Katy Miller

The first couple of games we couldn't hang on to the ball. Last week, we were able to take advantage of the turnovers and win a game.

Jeff Roper

It was just the D-line. They were getting pressure, they were causing fumbles, and just putting pressure on him. He's not one of those quarterbacks that will pull the ball down and run, and we forced him to do that, so that's why he had so many turnovers. He just threw it up to try to create something.

Robert Henson

We've been playing better team basketball, ... It's just the little things. We have to cut down on some of our turnovers, play better defense.

Chamique Holdsclaw

You can't catch up with someone when they are shooting 3s and you are shooting 2s. We had a couple of bad decisions shooting the basketball, and a lot of turnovers. Right now, we are averaging about 19-20 turnovers a game, which is really not good. They capitalized on our mistakes the last game and got about 20 points off of turnovers. We just need to cut down on our mistakes this time.

Linda Pruitt

We had way too many turnovers in that second quarter and we shot poorly from the free-throw line and it kind of snowballed on us.

Derek Robey

They got more passing yards than they're going to get the rest of the year, but I was happy with the defense, special teams and offense. We cut down on penalties (three for 31 yards). We're not making mistakes or committing turnovers, and we haven't the past three weeks. I think we're really developing.

Mike Dowling

They gave us a scare. We are still maturing. We had four turnovers in a row in the fourth quarter. I told the girls we aren't going to win the conference, but we have to keep control of the ball and we can't do that especially in the playoffs because tonight seemed like a playoff-atmosphere game.

Terry Boe

When you lose someone like Mark (Lyons), who is a starter, of course it is going to have an effect. But that isn't why we lost. Albany played great, played tremendous defense, and forced us into turnovers.

Mark Sausville

We wanted to get some turnovers, ... He threw a nice ball deep, and we put a lot of (pressure) on him, and I just made the catch. I've been working so hard, and now it's paying off, so it feels real good.

Mike Rumph

We got a little careless with the ball. We turned and threw it right to them a couple times. You can't defend turnovers. They're a really skilled team; we're an effort team.

Corky Card

It's not just getting the turnovers, it's doing something with them.

Tom Ferrier

It was a pretty good effort. We didn't take care of the basketball, had too many turnovers and didn't do some things we needed to do on defense. We just need to play smarter, more fundamental ball.

Roosevelt Barnes

They're getting steals, creating turnovers. They get teams sped up, playing out of their rhythm, and right into their hands.

Mike Adras

We turned the ball over way too many times. I think we had 17 turnovers in the first half. There is no way you give yourself a chance to win that way.

Jamal Crawford

We came out with a lot of energy in the third quarter and got a lot of buckets off our defense. J.B. and James had big quarters, but we got some great defensive play from guys like Charles Davidson and Paul Collamer. We forced a lot of turnovers in that quarter.
