I knew the pressure was going to come, and I knew there would be a bunch of turnovers. We kind of expected (the press), but you really can't practice for it.
Jeff Pafunda
There were two things we needed to do well coming into this game. Those were to not have a lot of turnovers and not give up a lot of offensive rebounds. And we give up 27 turnovers and 23 offensive rebounds. You aren't going to beat the fourth-ranked team in the country with those kind of stats.
Keith Richard
That's one of the things I put on the board before the game: cut turnovers down. We've been turning it over way too much all year. Sometimes we try to make the perfect pass instead of the easy pass.
Jerry Farber
We've got to be able to take care of the basketball, manage the turnovers, control the boards, and we've got to be able to make good decisions in the half-court game. [URI is] a team that played against us here and we did not play well.
Marnie Dacko
The second half we got out to a pretty quick start. We forced some turnovers and really clasped on their big guy and that got us some easy buckets and led to some transition points.
Matt Barnes
The pressure defense hurt us. We made too many turnovers. We had a good run at the end, but we ran out of gas. I give them a lot of credit.
Wayne Hanscom
We started out moving the ball pretty effectively. But we just got killed there with turnovers.
Jack Wilkinson
We came out at halftime trying to pressure them as they only had eight guys. That would make them tired and cause some turnovers.
Shane James
They're a good team that forces turnovers. That's what they do. We expect that, and we try to limit that. But, tonight, we didn't do it.
Freddie Mitchell
Just making shots slows (Michigan State) down a little bit. And then we had some silly turnovers that we don't normally have. That just better fuels their offensive aggression.
Greg Brunner
[We need to] take care of the ball. There was nothing that they did that really forced us into turnovers. We just have to do a better job of executing and knowing where we get our shots from and who's taking those shots.
Curtis Loyd
The game came down to turnovers and their ability to run the ball on us. We did some really good things on offense. We're just still too young offensively to be where we want to be. We just couldn't rise up to the challenges that OU gave to us today. They played a great game.
Doug Martin
Both teams played zone pretty much for the whole game. They pressed us full court on and off, and we pressed them zone throughout. It was a very intense game, but the key was our rebounding, and we only had 11 turnovers against pressure.
Ron Sicard
We had too many turnovers especially in the second half. You can't expect to beat that team with 19 turnovers.
Todd Martin
You know we'd been pressing the whole game and we hadn't gotten that many turnovers. They'd been breaking it, but finally we got a few steals and finally we took advantage of it and got a few easy baskets and got back in the game.
Justin Ridenour
I was worried that we would come out with some nerves, which we did, and we're lucky we got over it. It took us three quarters to settle down and run the offense. We forced some shots that we shouldn't have, and we made some bad entry passes. I'm OK with the turnovers in transition because I want us pushing the ball.
Rob Reisbeck
The turnovers were uncharacteristic of our ball club. Typically, we do a better job of protecting the ball. Their size and athleticism really hurt us in that aspect. I think that if we had held our turnovers to 10 or 12, it might have turned out differently.
Spencer Hoffman
That's why we're the No. 1-ranked team in the state. It's the ability to overcome. We struggled but were able to get some huge turnovers at the end.
Cody Daigle
For most of the game we did a good job of taking the ball to the basket. When we stopped going to the hoop is when they got back into the game. On defense we were aggressive, which led to some easy turnovers and baskets.
Ron Sicard
What really affected us was our turnovers. Octavia showed why she's one of the best players in the region and the state.
Kevin Reed
We try to create turnovers because defense always is our offense.
Dave Ideran
Once again, we had trouble putting them away. We had some turnovers that hurt � and I wasn't happy with our defense.
Dave Hintzmann
We played solid defense and we mixed it up, going from man to zone and back. We ran the floor well and executed our offense. We had Lincoln a little confused and out of their rhythm and they committed some turnovers. We were able to do some good things with the ball.
Matt Carter
Somehow, someway, we've got to eliminate turnovers. We can't beat anyone the way we're beating ourselves.
Bobby Humphries
We left too many free throws on the board (down the stretch). Turnovers in the second quarter came because we weren't playing well.
Mark Pixley
We can't get down against good teams like that because you're not going to come back and win. We're still putting up good numbers as far as passing the ball but we need to cut down the turnovers and work on the defense.
Chris Bean
We scored only 10 points and had 20 turnovers in the first two quarters. That isn't going to get it done.
Todd Mcgee
The name of the game was turnovers and bad passes.
John Schultz
We had a few turnovers and they capitalized. I was proud of the guys we had on the floor. We put up a good battle.
Jeremy Davies
We only shot 38 percent from the floor. We missed '12 free throws; we hit six out of 18. And we had 26 turnovers.
Kelly Hunkins
Defensively, I felt like we played pretty well all night long. We need to keep making extra passes and limit turnovers. That's what you have to do to beat teams at the next level.
Bill Ipsen
I'm so proud of this team, I don't know how to express it. We worked hard and didn't let up. We had too many turnovers in the first half, but we took better care of the basketball in the second half.
Jonah Popa
We wanted to get out there and run, kinda push the tempo. We were just a little too anxious in forcing plays, we had a lot of turnovers.
Shaun Wynn
Alex came on at the end of the year. Changing the way he played was a big reason why we started winning games, by accepting his role at the wing rather than at point guard. He started shooting the ball better and cutting down his turnovers.
Archie Sherbinow
We had a couple of turnovers, a couple of penalties and a couple of missed assignments, and that's when the game got really tight. But at the end of the game, our kids deserved some credit for rising to the occasion. I'm proud that we didn't let go of the rope. I would like to have less mistakes and I would like to execute better, but again, we're walking away with a win.
Terry Wilczek
We created some turnovers and that's why we had a 20-point lead. Today we were ready to go so they never really had a chance.
John Calipari
We got a lot of turnovers tonight, and we rebounded the ball real well. Those little things win championships, and we finally did it tonight. It was the right time to do it.
Matt Gordon
We played hard all the way to the end. We fought and fought and fought but turnovers and missed shots hurt us.
Josh Parker
(The Bulldogs) got so many points off our turnovers it was ridiculous. If we cut down on our turnovers and be patient with our offense, things will be way better than it was at Fresno.
Janevia Taylor
When they came back and tied it, we just had one stretch where we couldn't take care of the ball. We had only 10 turnovers in the game, but we probably had half of those in those few minutes.
Phil Anderson
The little things in the first half, I think that's what lost the game for us. We had silly turnovers, fouls on 3-point shooters, not blocking out (Brian) Randle and stuff. Stuff like that, we need to toughen up.
Courtney Sims
That's what we stress - four turnovers a game. We saw some things on film and we knew that Coach Wilkins was going to do something with that play at some point in the game.
John Hunter
When we play Churchill, we focus on attacking because of their pressure defense. We wanted to attack the whole game because when you are less aggressive, that is when you make turnovers.
Cameron Marshall
Both teams had a lot of turnovers, so there were more opportunities to score and thus a high-scoring game.
Yeng Guiao
We made it very difficult on ourselves with five turnovers. I told the kids we made enough mistakes to lose two football games. But I thought the offensive line played extremely well. Our backs ran hard but had some trouble handling the football. However the effort was there.
Bob Thayer
We got into a press mode and created some turnovers. We started hitting some shots and had a nice comeback.
Jon Constant
Lake Stevens came out tonight and played mistake-free basketball. We committed too many turnovers and missed a lot of shots that we have been making in the past.
Jeannie Thompson
Our kids battled admirably. But we had too many unforced turnovers, and we would miss two free throws and they would score, and then miss another and they'd score. It's hard to trade zero for three like that, and we gave them too much of that.
Charlie Hood
We just had way too many penalties and way too many turnovers.
Jim Haslett
They weren't intimidated even when we had the first half turnovers. I wanted to push the ball because we knew their big girls were slow.
Vanessa Taylor
They came back against some kids that don't get a lot of minutes. We had a bunch of turnovers on some inbound plays and didn't take very good care of the ball the last five minutes. I thought we took good care of the ball in general, just not at the end of the game.
Randy Rogers
As long as we have the effort to come back and fight and play hard, we'll be all right. It's disappointing that we did fall short, but the turnovers hurt us.
Lawrence Samuels
We talked about rebounding and turnovers at halftime.
Tad Secrest
He is a very athletic kid with a lot of heart. Robert gets a lot of points in transition. He's a quick kid who creates turnovers and slashes well to the basket.
Shawn Mccallister
Turnovers have seemed to be our demise all season. Turnovers cost us scoring opportunities. We just have to get better.
Debra Clark
The idea behind full-court pressure is not necessarily the idea that you?re going to get turnovers every trip down the floor. But it has a wearing-down effect over time.
Rob Lovell
Defense creates offense. We create turnovers and steals and that gives us easy chances.
Lauren Spillers
We played three straight nights, so we probably didn't have any gas left in our tank. That could be part of it, but we didn't have the legs tonight. Charlestown controlled the boards, and we certainly didn't help ourselves with the turnovers, either. We probably had ten in each half. There was a just a lack of energy and a lack of desire on our part.
Tom Grassa
We created the turnovers, which put our guys in a tough position. It was a game of turnovers and field position. We gave them easy opportunities.
Darwin Breaux
We had three turnovers in the first half, and at this point, we can't overcome that. If we eliminate that, we'll be in real good shape.
John W. Whitehead
We kind of got after it defensively. We keyed on their turnovers and attacked the hoop.
Chad Allan
(Baker) made some great plays in the open floor. We keyed on her and got some turnovers in the second half. We fouled her three times on 3-point shots and she hit 8-of-9 free-throws. She's just an excellent player.
Jeff Bickmore
We did some things on offense, execution-wise, that we hadn't been doing earlier. Our defense played off that and had a lot of turnovers. It was a good win for us.
Glen Padgett
The key is our pressure defense, and how their guards handle it. We cause a lot of turnovers.
Dick Bliss
We got our turnovers too but we didn't capitalize like they did.
Chris Harris
We did a good job of staying with them in the first half. In the second half, we had too many turnovers that led to too many baskets that they didn't earn. As long as we compete like that, we'll be all right.
Norm Roberts
We were definitely in the game. We came out and had a couple turnovers, had a couple fouls and they were able to get out on top, and we couldn't get the lead back.
Jamont Gordon
They're a lot quicker and stronger, so we wanted to be somewhat patient and make them be on defense longer. The fourth quarter, we obviously didn't do that at all with three or four turnovers.
Lyle Mcintosh
I thought our kids never lost their poise, even though we had some turnovers. I really wasn't too worried. We didn't have an answer for a while, though.
Jeff Pustina
That's been our Achilles' heel all year and it did us in tonight. One of the first things written on the blackboard was limiting turnovers. We obviously didn't do that.
Gary Meyer
This tournament is all about mistakes. If you see every game, a team makes a mistake and the other team scores. All the turnovers because the ice surface is so wide – you have so much space to make a play.
Alexei Kovalev
This game was very similar to the first two in the fact that turnovers were the difference in the game. This time, we created them instead of giving them. It don't matter what league you play in-flag football or the NFL-if you have turnovers you can't win. The kids were more focused and played to win tonight.
Jeff Roper
Turnovers have bothered us all season. We have limited our mistakes in January and it's paid off a little. We've taken better care of the ball. It's just been a matter of slowing ourselves down.
Mark Pendleton
I think our kids' athleticism really, really came to the top and we created some turnovers.
Barry Pruitt
That game changed the mood because it showed any team can win the conference. It will come down to loose balls, rebounds and turnovers at the end.
Keena Young
I thought that changed the entire momentum of the game. It caused turnovers and we scored off transition. It put us in a comfort zone that I felt much better about.
Debbie Casto
We really challenged them in terms of our communication and our focus. We reduced our turnovers in this game, but I think we still need to be a little bit more efficient in what we're doing.
Brenda Frese
We had five turnovers in the first quarter, and at least two of them were his, so he sat. But when he came back in he did a fantastic job for us. When he got rolling, our entire offense got going.
Chris Valdez
We have to keep getting after it. That's all you can do. Keep coming back every week and trying to get a win. We haven't had an easy game yet, we have made it tough for teams to beat us, but turnovers and penalties always tend to kill you.
Mike Hooks
In years past, we have had a lot of turnovers and defensive scores. Last year, that part of our game was missing. We got our hands on a lot of balls. We caused way more fumbles that we didn't recover. The turnovers we got, we didn't turn them into touchdowns.
Derrick Brooks
We were 6-for-15 (40 percent) from the line. That's only counting the front end of one-and-ones. When you miss the front end, that's really missing two free throws. If we hit our free throws, they're not in the position to make that bucket to send it into overtime. In overtime it came down to not doing the little things. We missed free throws and had careless turnovers.
Brian Blume
We talked about it at the half, that we had too many turnovers, that we need to be smarter with the ball. Not to be cautious, but be smarter with our passes and come hard to the ball. There's going to be a lot of slapping and reaching, some of it may be called or not be called, but we had to be more aggressive with the ball.
Cathy Inglese
We should have taken advantage of (their turnovers) more. We missed a few gimme baskets and had a few mental breakdowns. That's what hurt us.
Kerri Gardin
We had a lot of turnovers, but Hannah Tobin was the MVP of this game. She was really mobile in this game.
Scott Kerstetter
Our goal is to play with composure and not have a lot of unforced turnovers.
Arlan Scholl
Careless turnovers were a factor and the shots weren't falling as much.
Chris Hernandez
We knew we would be undersized tonight. We thought we could disrupt their offense if we could force the tempo and get some turnovers. The ladies executed tremendously.
Jim Dinello
I think we're the best pressing basketball team in the NAIA. We get our points on offense by creating turnovers on defense and creating easy baskets.
Andre Williams
Statistics will explain what happened (Sunday), there's no question. The penalties, the turnovers and our inability to stop the run.
Jeff Fisher
Fort is very aggressive defensively. They are athletic and they beat us on the boards. Turnovers and missed shots inside were probably our undoing.
Mike Poindexter
Three picks. That's 21 points they got, and 21 we didn't. That alone is Game Over. I just know one thing from my 12-to-13 years in arena ball, that you can't win if you're playing defense all of the time, and because of the turnovers, that seemed to happen in the first and third quarters.
Rick Frazier
Every time they seemed to have any life, our defense came up with a big hit, a big turnover. And it wasn't them making mistakes. It was our defense causing the turnovers.
Michael Wright
We didn't handle the pressure in the second half and had too many turnovers. Kingstree created some turnovers in the third quarter and took the lead on us.
Jack Mundy
That was a tough one, real tough. We had some costly turnovers at the end. I thought we pretty much had the game in hand. But they got those two free throws and then we turn the ball over. Those were huge plays.
Tevester Anderson
I told him he better not have any turnovers because if he does he`s not going to come back and play basketball.
John Chaney
I thought we were a little bit overwhelmed early. We had some unforced turnovers and missed some open shots. But they're big, strong and intimidating.
Dave Murphy
We had a little spurt in the third quarter. We forced several turnovers and that got us up and made a little run there. That was probably the difference.
Shawn Almond
It wasn't that they were that much better than we were or we were so much worse than they were. We just couldn't make any shots. We had opportunities to score and we created enough turnovers to be in the game. We just didn't make the shots.
Henry Carter
The kids played an outstanding game. They looked sharp all game long. We did a great job of putting pressure on their ball handlers. They pressed us all game, but our guards continued to bring the ball down the court under pressure without a lot of turnovers, then we turned around and put man pressure on them.
Dana Bruton
We minimized turnovers, we controlled the line of scrimmage and we really came out and hit people tonight.
George Mccartin
I think our rebounding was our key, and definitely our defense. We got a few turnovers on our press, but I think the key tonight really was controlling the boards.
Hank Hargraves
We just couldn't get the offense rolling. We were dominating on defense in the first half, but we made a few a key turnovers at the wrong time and they turned it around.
Carolyn Compton
They kept the ballgame close, making free throws. We kept it close because of turnovers, but we did compete down the stretch. I thought our girls played extremely hard. It was a good victory for us.
Johnny Jones
We usually create our own luck with defensive intensity, creating turnovers. We got none of that and when we didn't get anything done in the first quarter it was like panic set in. We were waiting for the other shots to fall and didn't create our own luck.
Martin White
They were making very good moves to the basket. We committed way too many turnovers. We started to play in a hurry instead of thinking.
Martha Todd
Dixon was the catalyst and really pushed the ball on the offensive end. And we get after it in practice on the defensive end and that showed. We forced a lot of turnovers.
Bob Mackey
You see our senior guards, such as Derek Harris, Byers and Alex Smith taking care of the ball. I was told we had just two turnovers in the first half.
Todd Plattner
He's a beast. He's one of the few big guys you're going to see all year long that has more assists than turnovers.
Steve Hawkins
I've never won a game without an offensive touchdown. It was very frustrating to keep driving the ball and have the turnovers. But we had to block it out and just focus on coming back.
Adam Bednarik
We found a little bit of a groove on offense, but we didn't hang onto the ball. We moved the ball pretty well, but we weren't consistent enough to win. Penalties and turnovers kept us from winning the game.
Terry Prestianni
We really put the game away at that point. We really got active defensively and created ourselves a lot of turnovers and a lot of easy baskets.
Rob Lovell
It's something we've got to take care of. It's our team, we've got to start figuring things out. It's on the players. It's all on the players. It's all on us. We've got to finally take all the little things and put it into a game. We've got to win on the boards, we've got to keep our turnovers low, we've got to get more assists, we've got to finish in the paint.
Traci Graham
We've been doing what we've needed to do. We need to work on polishing our game by keeping turnovers high and everything else working well.
Kelley Putnam
The difference between the first time we played them and the second time we played them was we handled their pressure very well by spreading the floor out, making some very good passes and some very good cuts to create easy baskets for ourselves. Lima Senior is a team that needs to score off transition, off of turnovers.
Mark Gedeon
The hardest thing to overcome in any football game is turnovers, especially when you're on the road. If we score those [two drives into Ball State territory that ended in fumbles], it's over at halftime.
Gregg Brandon
We had too many turnovers. They had too many easy baskets in transition and that tore us apart.
Megan Duffy
The strength of their team is absolutely to dribble penetrate. When a team allows them to dribble penetrate, that team is in trouble. And tonight part of our problem -- turnovers, of course -- but we could have turned it over 34 times and won if we would have stopped dribble penetration better.
Bill Whitehead
We changed up our defense a couple of times, which seemed to confuse them. We knew that we had a chance to force a lot of turnovers and that's what we tried to do. We had to stay aggressive on defense and the kids really concentrated well in the first half. We have to do the little things well to be successful.
Jason Koski
They do a great job. They're up-tempo, they're physical and they get right up on you. Turnovers have been our biggest downfall. I can say it over and over again, but part of it they are just going to have to learn as they experience it.
Joanne Boyle
It just hasn't come. I think they will come, and when they come, they'll start coming in bunches. But isn't it better to be talking about why haven't we created turnovers when we're 3-1, instead of why haven't we created turnovers at 0-4?
Ryan Clark
You could make the headline, 'Turnovers', because we had four. We never punted. They never stopped us. We stopped ourselves, and the defense got it squared away enough that we should have been able to hold onto the football and move it down the field and score.
Jon Hitchen
If you'd have told me that before the game I would have said you were crazy. But the turnovers pretty much explain it.
Brian Snider
Turnovers killed us. Against Southern Lab we were able to score points off of their turnovers, but tonight we had way too many turnovers of our own.
Vanessa Taylor
My big thing is we have no dominant shooters so we have to value every possession. We need to have single digit turnovers and double digit rebounds or we can't compete and again tonight we turned it over too many times.
Jay Karlins
It was a hard-fought football game and closer than the score shows. We got a couple turnovers, and there were a few penalties that hurt Dover. Our kids were definitely energized.
David Hearn
We definitely need to play better defense and work on our transition and ball-handling a lot. If we can cut down our turnovers, we'll be OK.
Teresa Scott
We had too many turnovers (15). I don't think it was the press. At times we made poor decisions and ill-advised passes.
Mike Purcell
I'll tell you what, to have that many turnovers is not good for the game of basketball. That is inexcusable and is not acceptable. We can't do that.
Wayne Ross
We went back to the basic things, try to cause some turnovers. They've always seemed to have trouble with (the trap defense). We're just so tall and so long, if we can keep our hands up and in the passing lanes we can create turnovers.
Mike Gainey
I'm just really pleased. We did not shoot the ball well tonight at all. Our girls kept on attacking and making good decisions. We had just four turnovers for the game. That compensated for our lack of shooting tonight.
Tom Halbmaier
We just didn't finish. I felt Bassett played hard. We played hard, too, but we didn't convert some turnovers down the stretch. We just got to finish at the basket and be a little tougher when the game's on the line.
Troy Wells
A win is a win, were happy with the W but there are some things we can improve on. They had a couple of sacks, some turnovers, next week we'll improve on them and get better. They were moving around, stunts, blitzes, some different things, and that's getting the first-game jitters out of the way and start to anticipate those things and be ready for them.
Tyler Reed
Our team let penalties and turnovers get to us a little bit. We had a couple drive killers with turnovers and we had a couple foolish penalties and you can't do things like that and beat a fine team like Saint Louis on the road.
Ryan Bishop
We played good ball, took them to the wire. You have to be proud of the kids because they're trying real hard and they put 100 percent into the game. We just got off to a way too slow start and we had a few too many turnovers. What do you do?
Rockie Bork
We started playing a little bit soft, playing some zone. Probably shouldn't have done it. Probably should have just kept on going and kept on grinding. But the third quarter was lights out. That was an awesome performance out of the kids, and we got turnovers.
Gary Andersen
I think that's what did us in. Too many turnovers in the last quarter.
Tony Falzarano
The bottom line is turnovers, and we did a great job of securing turnovers. We got the ball back with 2:20 left, and I challenged our team to get the first down and to stay on the field. And they did.
Steve Kragthorpe
We just didn't answer the bell. We didn't come out ready to handle their physical play. We knew that's what they were going to do because that's what Scott County always does. Our turnovers led to some easy baskets for them. We're disappointed in our effort, but we're going to put this one behind us and move on.
Chris O'hearn
Our shooting wasn't there tonight. The first quarter turnovers hurt us, and Hobbs' hot shooting got us too deep in the hole.
Gary Chapman
You're not going to play the perfect game — you'll have some turnovers, missed blocks, things like that. But we've got to respond to that, that's how we'll determine what kind of team we are.
Kevin Myers
Take away those 13 extra turnovers we made (compared to Summit's 24)) and it could have been a different ball game.
Dallas Richter
It was one of our better efforts of the season. Our young guys applied pressure [to Marion County] and caused a lot of turnovers, many of them unforced.
Matt Copeland
They showed a lot of heart and desire, but I wish they had a little bit more discipline. I think every single penalty hurt us, there's no doubt about it. The turnovers hurt us, too.
Mike Sewak
It was a really good, good win for us. We tried to be aggressive. There were some times we had a few turnovers, but they were aggressive turnovers.
Keitha Green
We wanted to cause some turnovers out front and get an advantage with the fast break. We were then able to finish at the other end.
Barry Dutt
We made a lot of mistakes and played sloppy at times. They do a good job forcing turnovers in their press.
Lori Hines
If we can do what we did tonight without the turnovers, then we'd score a lot of points, ... And I think it's a successful night for all of us. But those turnovers killed us. It negates really what we did.
Patrick Ramsey
We had them (Jackson) down and we just let them back in the game. The kids battled hard, but that second quarter, along with our turnovers, was really the difference in the game.
Maurice Nelson
I saw positive things even though we lost the game. We had five turnovers and we were still in the game. That shows a lot for our character.
Siaha Burley
That was one of our better games for three quarters. The girls play so hard. They really want me to have high expectations for them. We're trying to teach them to change speeds, to know when to slow down so we don't make so many turnovers. Sometimes I forget they're 14.
Marcy Hershey
We had a couple of turnovers and missed some free throws.
Greg Soliz
We had a great overall team effort. We did a good job creating turnovers defensively and a much better job of rebounding today than we did Saturday.
Brendan Nagel
The turnovers caught up to us. We tried to do to many things. Tried to create fast breaks when it wasn't there. That's something we talked about earlier is the decision making. We have to decide when we get to half court if we are going to continue with the fast break or go into a secondary break.
Dan Schwieterman
He makes things happen, and he brings energy to the team every time he steps on the court. He works hard in practice, trying to be a starter, but I like him in that role. He creates a lot of turnovers on offense and is active around the basket.
Darrel Schumacher
Once we were able to open up that 17-point lead, we were pretty much able to maintain that through the third quarter. In that second quarter, there were a lot of steals and just a lot of turnovers on their part, and we started running ...
Gene Pingatore
I think it was our defense that was the key for us tonight. We pressed all night and were able to create a lot of turnovers.
Justin Roper
I told them we could live with 12 turnovers, but 18 is too many. Good players make plays in the fourth quarter when it matters. That's what Douglas did.
Curry Haggerty
Their upperclassmen made plays and ours struggled to convert on those 24 turnovers.
Dana Eikenberg
We would have never gotten into that situation if we didn't miss those free throws. We made them work for their shots, but they forced us into turnovers with their frantic style of play. In the end, we kept our composure and the girls did a great job of that.
Pat Wulfekuhle
Cornelius is a great football player who knows how to make plays. His numbers over the last five years speak for themselves. He is a guy that makes things happen in all phases of the game, whether that's forcing turnovers, catching passes or on special teams. We're excited to have him here, and we think Kats fans will really like seeing him play.
Pat Sperduto
From a statistics viewpoint, we played pretty well. We forced 11 turnovers and closed down their inside game. Unfortunately, Stearns lit it up with four three-pointers to open the second half and that was it.
Tracy Adams
We handled their pressure very well in the first half. We even used their pressure for our offense by attacking it. They expected to [get turnovers in the third quarter]. They did a good job forcing turnovers.
Chris Nolen
By far, that was his best game of the year. He looked fantastic. But, while Kyle had a good game, his teammates get the credit - they were focused into getting it inside to him and that may be why we had so many turnovers. We were throwing the ball into double coverage.
Gabe Mcdonald
The team really gelled well today and improved on passing and communication, which led to fewer turnovers.
Dean Wagner
Penalties and turnovers hurt us and we're at the point where we have to get better or start to slide a bit. Our kids have a positive attitude and will use it to go on into the right direction.
Mark Peterson
I feel very badly because we came out in the second half and created the tempo we wanted to create. The effort was tremendous and for most of the third and fourth quarter our defense was outstanding, creating turnovers and getting transition scores.
Shawn Shreffler
The defense was great. The coaches gave us great preparation. Adam (Boone) did a great job knocking down the point guard for their team. The big men did a great job of rotating on the wings when they went baseline to get charges and create turnovers.
Vincent Grier
I thought we played pretty well, we shot the ball pretty well. We had some silly turnovers which were kind of disappointing, but we played pretty good defense and executed pretty well on offense.
Scott Bokelman
I was really pleased with the way our defense responded. We had a very very good game against a very good rushing offense. And we got some turnovers, which isn't something we have been doing lately.
Ralph Friedgen
I was proud of our defense causing turnovers, and our special teams made big plays. That's a good sign that the attitude of your team is good because the special teams is playing hard.
Tom Amstutz
They shot 42 percent from the floor and held us to 22 percent. We were down 39-31 near the end of the third quarter. Then their full court man press tired us out. We just ran out of gas. They also forced a lot of turnovers.
Shane Mast
I don't think it was the press that was hurting us too much. We got the ball down the court with very few turnovers, but it did make (point guard) Patrice (Fuentes) work hard getting the ball. We just couldn't make any shots. We got good looks we just couldn't knock them down.
Cathy Ralston
We try to get in their shorts on defense. Whoever we're playing, it doesn't matter who it is. We just get up on them, and they'll make the turnovers themselves. We don't have to do much; we don't even have to foul them. We're quick enough to get all the steals. They'll give it to us.
Lauren Witherspoon
To come away with a road win in a game in which we committed 24 turnovers and shot poorly from the free throw line is huge for us.
Doug Meacham
It's fair to judge people on how many turnovers they have, but there's so many other things, too. No. 1 is make sure the other guy doesn't catch the ball.
Will Allen
It was a prolonged 14-0 run. We gave up too many lay-ups, and our turnovers turned into points for them. We got shots, but they wouldn't go in, and they were able to go on runs.
Andrew Tencleve
[There are] certain areas that regardless of how long you've been together, we should be on point with. I think that's what Coach is frustrated with. We're too talented offensively to give ourselves 20 turnovers.
Antoine Walker
We had a lot of turnovers on the perimeter, which led to odd-man advantages.
Steve Bartos
Defensively we did not defend the three and lost some intensity in the second half. We had more turnovers and they were able to get about 14 points right off of those turnovers. Then the crowd got involved and we lost composure and spaced out on our transition defense.
Lynn Plett
We had a lot of crucial turnovers in overtime. You can't turn the ball over on the first two possessions of a four-minute period and expect to win.
Tim Ehresman
Sometimes that happens when you press like we do. You'll give up some points off turnovers.
David Baumann
Both these teams played their hearts out tonight. It's sad that we had some dubious things happen at the end but really, it was our turnovers. We just can't afford double-digit turnovers in a half. It's almost hard to believe.
Paul Pellicani
We had a lot of turnovers, and played sloppy with not a lot of flow. That's what Sacramento does, they force you into turnovers.
Nicole Ohlde
Any time you can win on the road, it's a big win. Bastrop plays extremely well at home. Coach Patrick does a good job with his deliberate offense, making you play defense for a long time. We were fortunate enough to create some turnovers and get some easy buckets.
Casey Jones
We've got to make free throws to start off with. Honestly, we didn't do a good job preventing turnovers.
Kelly Byrne
The more turnovers I have, I seem like I'm being tentative at times getting the ball to people. If I'm not penetrating and doing things I'm capable of, I'm going to have turnovers. That's not the style I play. I was embarrassed with the way I played against Oregon. I thought I let my teammates down. I'm going to try and pick it up in practice and get something going.
Jason Fontenet
I knew they were going to be very tough -- they're very talented and unselfish. The big difference was, they got the turnovers and easy baskets, and they ran the floor. We couldn't go man because we had to keep our big kids in to get rebounds so we couldn't pressure them.
Paul Lundberg
We would like to limit them to one shot on offense. We want to push the ball, get our transition game going. We need to do the little things, avoid turnovers, hit our free throws. I?m hoping we can stay close for the first eight minutes then hope for the best.
Dave Brogioli
We missed too many tackles, defensively. We didn't wrap up. (We had) turnovers in key situations. We just shot ourselves in the foot.
David Thompson
In the fourth quarter, our kids just wanted it more. We put on some full-court pressure and forced some turnovers.
Kip Rhoten
We talked about that (turnovers) in the locker room at halftime. In a state tournament, it's going to be a game of runs. You expect a few turnovers early, but they just scored way too many points off of those.
