B. F. Skinner Played Quotations

Those were some tough calls. I don't remember us getting the benefit. Even the last play (Rice's drive to the basket), there's contact driving to the basket and that's (no foul). We make contact and it's a foul. It?s unfortunate. We played well enough and I thought we would earn the respect of the officials, but maybe it didn't?t work out that way.

We went flat and started coasting after the 7-1 lead after two innings. But I thought we played pretty good for the first game of the season.

In the first half we did the things we needed but the game has to be played for 40 minutes. That separation they created in the second half was the difference in the ballgame. We made a couple of mistakes. I didn't think they did anything differently, they just continued to do what they wanted to do.

Ultimately, we weren't ready to play, and (Murrieta) played hard. You can't let a team totally dominate you for 40 minutes and expect that, in the next 40 minutes, you can come back, because Murrieta is a good team. You just can't allow that to happen.

You hate to give up goals right at the half, but Ben made a great play over there, and we played dumb. We had a couple of chances (to clear the ball) and he punished us for it.

There were some tough calls. I don't remember us getting the benefit. Even the last play. There's contact on that last play and it's OK. We make contact and it's a foul. We played well enough and I thought we would earn the respect of the officials. Maybe it didn't work out that way.

I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game wasn't played all that pretty. We just happened to score.

Duquesne played with a lot of energy and hustle. We didn't match that energy in the first half. But the game is 40 minutes long. I thought our size and strength eventually would take care of that. If Duquesne continues to play like that they'll start to win some basketball games. They've got a feel of how they want to play.

We played them before and we've had our success against them. We're probably different than a lot of other teams. So it's not that. It's more us. And that's what we have to deal with.

Both teams played hard, and I think it was pretty entertaining. Unfortunately, they were the last one standing.

We played a number of games with only six guys, and obviously had some success. Roles, not only are they changing and they're being defined, but the guys are trying to adjust. It's not always as simple as you like.
