John Rutter Ball Quotations

Monika's something else. She's what, 5-5? And don't forget about Anna (Conrad). She brought the ball up the entire game against some pretty tough, intense pressure.

Defensively, I thought that our perimeter people helped a lot. We helped and then recovered. We've been preaching that all year long and tonight, it actually came to fruition. Once the ball went down to the post, we dropped down and got some help.

They played hard from start to finish and that's all you can ask. The ball just didn't go in, and tonight, Larkin was better. We'll regroup and we'll have at least one more try at them.

I think we took the ball and created some opportunities for ourselves and put them in situations where they would foul a little bit more. We moved the ball. We got some good shots inside.

Yeah, we were in foul trouble and turning the ball over too much (11 first-half turnovers), but we were only down two at the half.

We got it right down to six and we couldn't get over that hump. We had a couple of opportunities to get it closer, but we just couldn't get the ball to drop.

I hate to use the word afraid, but we just came out not ready to play against a good team and they took it to us. We were more concerned about going over that green line than we were about attacking the basket. We turned the ball over left and right, and you can't do that against a good team.
