Bill Cleary Quotations

We're going to see. She went through a light practice (Wednesday) and she was pain free, so we're really going to work her out and see what happens.

We didn't have the depth that we had last year, but we had some kids who had really great seasons.

I can't think of a time that has happened to us. They were good looks at the basket. The opportunities were there.

Our schedule was very tough this season and it's been a huge success largely because of the strength of our schedule.

We definitely missed Brittany, but I thought the kids really responded well and put together a nice, solid basketball game. We started a little sluggish in the first quarter and that's to be expected because we only found out at 4 o'clock before the game that Brittany would not play.

She's picked all those areas up. Her scoring is pretty much where it was, but there is more of her going to the hoop and the foul line. She's really picked up her defense and rebounding.

The Russians were the ogres then, you know. Mysterious.

It's the hand that's dealt us and they have to play us too, so it's a two-way street whether or not they have more motivation than we do and I don't think so. The championship is on the line and, if we have to go out there two, three or four times, we have to beat them and they feel the same way about us.

It might impact us a little, but as a school you can't let it bother you. The bottom line is that if we play well, people will come out and see us. It doesn't matter all that much who we are playing, like I said, if we win football games, the fans will come out.

It's a game-time decision. If she makes it through (practice Thursday) we might be able to see her.
