Came Quotes
We came out the second half and played with some pride and confidence. We tried to put in a different offense and it worked pretty well. We wanted to get moving more, screening. We've got to get to the foul line more and we've got to do a better job rebounding. We've worked hard on rebounding but it didn't show up today.

Game Quotes
We got off to a good start in the second half and then hit a lull. We got in some foul trouble and got out of sync with the lineup we had in there. But defensively, our kids kept plugging away. The longer it went, the better we got defensively. Gravette was pretty much one shot and out late in the game and we took advantage.

Checked Quotes
Well, not really. That wasn't the master plan. We were scrambling. We wanted to trap twice and then foul whoever had the ball. And honestly I thought we fouled a little early (with 24.4 seconds to go), but it worked out. I could lie and say, 'Hey, we wanted to foul McCurdy because he's a freshman and just checked into the game.' But it was one of those things that worked out. And then I thought we were going to miss the rebound. It fell on the floor there a little while.

Both Quotes
We're not where we need to be in our team confidence. This was our second tough game of the year and we have lost them both (losing to top-ranked University of Southern Maine). Our foul shooting was terrible. We didn't do the little things to win, and I'm not sure that this team felt that they could go on a big run.

Ball Quotes
We had a possible play set for our two guards to come in from the 3-point line, and actually I told Holly and Shannon (Daley) that if the ball was soft, they were going to try to tip it right back to Michelle at the foul line. I really would have liked our chances if we had gotten it into overtime.
-
Allowing Quotes
We played a bad game. I'm disappointed with our poor start. They were motivated after changing their coach and it showed. We came back in the third quarter but then we played bad defense, allowing easy baskets. We also had foul problems, but it's not an excuse. I don't like the way we lost. We have to be more focused in the crucial minutes.

Bench Quotes
We still had guys capable of scoring in the lineup and fortunately we are deep enough to hold opponents off or even build on a lead when we get in foul trouble. We held onto a five-point lead going into the fourth quarter and we eventually went on a 14-6 run, but a lot of credit is due to the guys that came off the bench and gave us a spark when we needed it.

Extra Quotes
We start off the season playing man-to-man. That?s our main defense. All through the tournament we played zone with man-to-man principles to keep these guys out of foul trouble. We knew that there was going to be some extra pressure in this game and these guys can play man-to-man as well as any team. Those last three possessions, these guys wanted it.
