Continued Quotes
We really knocked down some threes, and that kind of separated things quickly. We continued to be unselfish out there. We're getting more and more assists each game, we're making the extra pass in order to get a better one. Coppola set the tone with his finishing at the beginning, and we're shooting the ball better.
-
Defense Quotes
We ran our motion offense and were patient. (La Grande) gambles so much on defense that if you are patient, you can score. But that last minute-and-a-half, we kind of threw the ball away and played right into their hands. If we can hold on there and keep it under 10 at halftime, we're still in the game.

Anxious Quotes
We're anxious to get into Big Ten play. I think the Big Ten is going to be a very, very tough conference this year. As you look at everybody from side to side and throughout the conference, they've had some tough ball games, they've had some great wins. I just think it's going to be a very strong league, and we start out with an awfully strong one with the university of Iowa. They're a physical football team. They have dropped a game, but they didn't have their quarterback that day. They're just an outstanding team as they've shown over the years, and we have to be ready to compete.

Came Quotes
We hit the ball well with timely hits and after the big first inning, we scored a couple runs, then a couple runs and kept it going. Plus we had a chance to get Brandon Wyman into the game. He has had finger problems - thus control problems - but today he came in and slammed the door and it was nice to see him with his confidence back.

Bad Quotes
Yesterday, Ryan had one bad hole and shot an 80. Today, it was two bad holes, but an 82 is still good. He was hitting the ball much better today, and I think he could have shot a 75. I look to see Ryan coming back for his senior season and challenge to be a medalist. He showed his talent today.

Bounce Quotes
Yes, our long snapper is a rookie and I've been playing for 15 years and you never know when it is going to come or if it is going to ever happen. The ball has to bounce your way a lot of times, so I tell him to relish it and enjoy it because it really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Concerned Quotes
We had not planned on having any vote, other than just to study (the contract), ... It's not a public hearing, but it is a study session. We will take comments. And then if it seems suitable to the property owners involved -- who we're most concerned about -- we will have a vote on Sept. 26 (the next council meeting) on this issue to start the ball rolling for a new bridge.

Came Quotes
We had no intensity on defense to start and they just ran up and down the floor on us but we came back a little in the second half. We needed to get our shooters better looks when we got it back to six or eight, but we ended up turning the ball over and then they get easy baskets the other way. We need to be more patient on offense.
-
Against Quotes
We did pretty well. We moved the ball against Jenks and we moved the ball against Westmoore. It gave us a little bit of the scenario for what Friday night will be like. It was good for us. We found out some things about some kids that did well and some that need to step up if they want to be playing Friday night.

Danny Quotes
We didn't think Danny was going to give it up that easy. It was just a straight line drive and we'd rather him take a jump shot. A situation like that, when he has the ball at the end of the game, you know he's going to shoot it. We just didn't play the proper defense on him. I wish I was guarding him. I probably would have made it a little tougher.
