Laurie Pirtle Work Quotations

We really had worked hard this week on getting ready and the kids really came through with the execution of our zone and made them go man to man. I thought both teams had fought really, really hard.

We've really worked on our offensive rebounds. The last few teams we've played have been the better rebounding teams in the league, so we have had to improve. Of course when you shoot 26 percent you get a lot of chances for offensive rebounds.

Pitt is a neck-up team, in that they 'think' when they are on the court, and they put themselves in a position to win. They are having fun, and they work hard. There is an aura about them. You can just feel it when you are around them.
