Shots Quotations | Page 5

She knows the course pretty well. She knows what type of shots it's going to take to play on that golf course. It's a mentally tough golf course, and we'll just have to see what happens.

She keeps growing and growing, and we love it, ... She moves so well and she can hit a lot of different shots and her blocking has an edge to it.

She just stood on her head today. She saw most of the shots we got through and the ones she didn't their defenders were there to clean us up.

She just stood on her head today. She saw every one of our shots in the third period, and the ones she didn't, their defense was there to clear them away.

She just seemed to be doing everything ? hitting jump shots from the top of the key, controlling the offensive boards and getting the ball out front on the fast break.

She must have been tired. In the first half, she took her time. But, in the second half, she started forcing shots and doing the same old stuff.

She made some key shots at Red Springs with some big threes.

She made some great shots out there. That was the reason they started to play better. She's a good player.

She made some big shots for us. She really played well.

She is a good defensive player and she could penetrate, take it hard to the basket. Eventually, her outside shots began to fall.

She hit some shots and did a great job of leading the team.

She hit some big shots for us coming down the stretch. We tried to isolate her at the top, give her a chance to go one-on-one.

Mike Richardson was huge for us. When you have a guy blocking shots like that, that changes the other team's complexion.

Mike is the kind of guy, if he hits his first couple shots then he doesn't think he's going to miss, ever, for the rest of his life. It seems to uplift his entire game. Because of that, I think it helped him concentrate even more on the defensive end.

Mistakes, turnovers, that's part of what our defensive intention is. We make their shots harder, eliminate their assists. That's all part of being alert and intense. Our goal in everything we do is built around our defense, our whole game from start to finish.

Mistakes, turnovers, that's part of our defensive intention. We hope to get more shots than them (64-52), limit their shots, make their shots harder and limit their assists.

(Minnesota) took Cyndi totally out of the game. Nikki (Smith) stepped in and was able to knock some shots down.

Molly is someone who is in control out there. She does a great job of running our sets on offense, making shots and making tough shots. She gives our team the balance we need and she is confident enough to go out there and make a play.

Milwaukee shoots a lot of jump shots and our big guys do a good job of getting the rebounds. We're able to make some long outlet passes and we have the guys who can get out fast. Then we're off to the races.

(McGrady) played super hard today. He just doesn't make (shots) at home like he makes on the road. I can't explain it. We don't have an inside presence right now (without Yao) to throw the ball into to keep the defense honest. He's trying to make a lot of tough shots while playing big minutes.

McCormick gave them a big spark. He hit some tough shots. A few shots with our hands in his face.

McArdle hit some big shots for us in that first half. He really kept us in the game.

Matt's got a legitimate chance to be conference player of the year. We need him to hit open shots and get offensive rebounds.

Matt's a fantastic keeper. He's had a great year ... I don't have a bad thing to say about him. He did a good job. They had three good shots on him and made them count.

Mentally, ... I wasn't there. I didn't have any motivation. But I was better in the third set; I started making the great passing shots that I needed to break her.

Megan had her best game of the year. We've been working a lot with her to finish shots and go up strong, and tonight it seemed like she was really attacking that rim.

Megan (Couch) hit a couple of big shots late in the game for us, and Brittany (Strohmeyer) did a good job of taking care of the ball and knocking down some critical shots at the end of the game.

Me and Will (Thomas) got some early shots at the beginning of the game and we made most of them. If we can make shots at the beginning of the game it builds our confidence up. We just carried that confidence into the second half.

My job is to stop shots and keep the team in a position to win. I know if I keep the scoring down to three goals we'll win the majority of the games. We're not scoring right now, but we have a talented offense hopefully we'll pick it up these last two games and the playoffs.

My kids played extremely hard and they have nothing to be ashamed of. They executed the game plan perfectly, but King's picked up their defense and made it hard for us to get good shots at the end.

My fever went down a little bit. My stomach is not hurting as bad. I was knocking some shots down today so that helps my confidence. I haven't been shooting the ball particularly well, so any player who hasn't been shooting well when you knock some shots in practice, that's a good sign.

My focus today was my iron shots and my putting. The greens are fast here, which is good because I usually like fast greens. I've been feeling good with my putter and I haven't missed many shots. I'm just playing good and making birdies.

My front 9 was not very pretty. I hit some great iron shots, but my tee shots were not that great.

Network presidents love to take shots at each other, but they've never been so vocal as they were this summer.

Nelson did a great job keeping us off balance. I thought his play was terrific. He's strong ... he can score, he was able to get people the basketball and help them get the kinds of shots they wanted. That's one of the big things that hurt us.

No disrespect, but North Dakota State went in there with a pretty good game plan, followed their game plan, challenged some shots -- they went in there and they were able to win. It's not impossible; a team just did it two days ago.

One of the things we have to be able to do in this offense is to have some shots and be able to hit those shots. We have to be good at pass protection and max protection, so we can get the ball downfield.

One of our keys to the game was to make them beat us shooting 3s, and they did that. We saw them twice and they weren't doing it then. That's the long, short, and middle of it, and shots that went in stopped going in.

One big factor was that Williams had a miraculous game. He hit some open shots, but he also hit some other shots when we were right on him. He probably got confidence from making the open ones, then that enabled him to make the difficult ones.

One of my assistants suggested it, and it became one of our themes at halftime that we have to make some shots against their zone if we were going to keep the lead and win.

Obviously, we're proud to go home with a medal. We had to fight for every ounce of that bronze. A few shots here or there could have turned into a silver or gold. We can't hang our heads about that.

No one could ask more than what these guys did. It was not a lack of effort, it was just that our shots wouldn't fall, and that happens in basketball.

One thing that stands out is that the better shot I hit, the better shot he hit. I was playing serve and volley, and he had incredible passing shots from the most ridiculous positions.

My activity alone got me going. I've been feeling pretty good for a few games. The shots weren't falling, but I'm energized.

More than the length, it's the fact that every ball is backing up. Every ball picked up mud. That's the hardest thing in the world. You can have length, and you can have longer shots to the green, but if you don't have a clean ball, it makes for a very difficult golf shot.

Morgan hit some big shots there for us early and (Lucas) Cooper also made a couple of threes to get us going in the first half. But overall we didn't shoot it that well and I expect us to shoot the ball better (today).

Memphis made the necessary shots when they needed to and we might gave gotten a little tired towards the end, which allowed Memphis to make the shots and get the rebounds to win.

My good shots seemed to be bad and my bad shots were bad. So, you know, it all adds up nicely.

Maybe the stars are aligned. You need a little bit of luck along the way. Nobody?s deserving of anything, but I certainly think we?re due some luck our way, whether it?s in terms of staying healthy, staying out of trouble, or of making shots like that.

Maybe there are going to be more shots because of power plays and stuff like that, ... It's a good thing. The more shots you get, the more difference you can make.

No one worried about getting their shots. His shots always came in the flow of the offense ... nothing was forced.

New Mexico came out and shot the ball well and hit several 3s. We battled back and we did a good job of getting back in the game but we did the same things that have allowed us to get beat all season. We missed some easy shots and made the same mistakes.

Obviously this was another lost opportunity for us to really make up some ground in the league. Tennessee made their shots and made plays down the stretch, and we didn't. We couldn't get our shots to drop. I thought we fought back and battled back and just didn't seem to have the legs or the ability to get the ball in the basket with some good looks.

Obviously this was an incredible Big East battle. We just said to ourselves, this is BIG EAST game No. 1 - it tells you what this league will be like...Timely shots by Allan Ray, Jason Frazier and Dante Cunningham kept us in the game. Every time Louisville made runs at us, those guys made big plays. Game number one in the Big East, that's what it's going to be like.

Obviously I think we missed Adam being 100 percent-especially on the press break. For some inexplicable reason we missed a lot of shots early. I think their quickness bothered us.

Obviously, there are shots that she doesn't account for. What I believe just personally is that she did mean to drive up in an awful storm and kill herself. As for what happened once she was in that bedroom -- I'd hope the film makes a compelling case for what happens in the heat of the moment.

Obviously, I've hit a quite a few shots in this league.

Noelle shoots 55 or 56 percent. So the more shots you get her, the better off you'll be. Concordia did a nice job of keeping the ball out of her hands in the first half, but fortunately for us she was able to get going in the second and ended up having a nice game.

Reyes hitting those shots calmed us down and gave us breathing room. Our first-half defense then picked up the tempo and Payne and Harden just tag-teamed them. But they have been doing that all year.

Richie is a proven perimeter shooter, and we think he will be able to come in here and knock down some shots for us.

Richard Jefferson is going to be more involved in Game 2. We know that Jason Kidd is going to be more involved from a scoring standpoint in terms of his aggressiveness. Carter, you can talk about his bad shooting, but he still had 31 points. He missed a lot of point-blank shots he normally makes. They're going to be more balanced in their attack.

Police, exercising sensitivity and care, first fired shots in the air to scare him and prevent a graver incident, but despite this he ran toward a crowded area. He was shot and lost his life,

My teammates did a great job of finding me when I was open and my shots were dropping.

My team didn't quit, after not playing well in the first half. We got key rebounds, hit foul shots and were able to finish.

Myself and Kelvin both had stunt doubles. And Charlie Kemp who plays Max had a dummy. They had shots of us driving the cars but at a safe distance from each other. And then the crash ends in tragedy, which is very exciting.

My score doesn't matter. As a coach, the big thing at the high school level is to work on course management. I stress shot selection and playing smart golf. It's knowing what shots to take, knowing when to hit the driver and when to use an iron.

No. 1, I think we gotta keep them off the glass. And we can't let them get open looks. You gotta contest shots. If we contest shots and control the boards, it's anybody's game.

Ninety-five is a lot of rounds, but also having eight officers is an unusual number. It's an individual decision to use deadly force. It's their decision to determine how many shots they need to eliminate the threat.

Nauvoo's going to sag probably a little bit on us or run a little match-up or switch a lot. We're going to have to come out and make shots (today).

Naugatuck came out very fired up and was very aggressive, and we were flat. We were missing so many inside shots. Shots just weren't falling for us.

On the power play, I'm in a really good position, ... Guys are giving me the puck for the one-timer and I get good chances. I played the point back when I played in Russia. It's a really good spot, you know. I have lots of shots and lots of chances. I practice a lot at it and it's working. The goals are coming and the wins are coming.

On offense, they like to get quick shots and they have a lot of good shooters.

One of the first thoughts that ran through my mind was like, 'I guess Shaq was right.' Meaning, he takes more shots than he should. You know, 30 points should be enough for him. What'd he have, like three assists or something like that?

I was going to try to play him a little bit to see how he looked out there. It's just hard in transition for him. ... He gave a great effort. He missed some shots but he was aggressive.

I was going to get up and go to restroom and heard shots and woke up and looked out the window and didn't see anything.

I was so proud of Rodney Carney today. It would be so easy for Rodney to play for himself right now. It would easy for him to just go out and do it himself. I grabbed Rodney and said 'you are defending and we will try to give you some shots. Rodney said I am fine. At one point in the second half I asked if you want me to run something to get you going and he said I am fine. He defended and blocked shots today. Four blocks shows how far he has come and what he means to the team.

I was so proud of our kids to get back to where we were. Fountain Lake got hot from the three early and that forced us to take shots we normally wouldn't.

I was real proud of the way our team came back and played in the final round. We were 17 shots behind after Monday and it would have been easy for the guys to mail it in. But instead, they came back and played with a lot of focus and a lot of pride. I think our final round is a real positive as we head into a pretty important stretch of our season.

I was real proud of my rookie tonight. She hit some shots when we need them.

I was taking top-of-the-key shots because I was wide open and he wasn't guarding me. People underestimate our ability. We have a lot of people that can make plays. I can make plays. Bobby can make plays. Mike can make plays. They even left Appleby open.

I was seven shots back at the beginning of the day. When you are far back like that, you are just trying to come out and shoot maybe a few under par. You just have to position yourself well, and hope the wind blows and guys don't hit good shots and you have a chance to be close to the leaders on the final day.

I was rushing shots, like in the Illinois game. I just slowed my game down. That's what Coach told me to do -- slow down and take the same shots I'd been taking.

I was sitting at the computer and my wife Pat was watching TV in the living room when I heard the rapid fire of what sounded like a semi-automatic weapon. At first I thought it might be someone shooting at something in the woods, but after as many as 15 or 16 shots rang out I knew it was something else.

I would say at the end of the games if you went back and charted Jason Williams making shots in the last four minutes he's one of the best at making open shots. So you've got to have him on the court. While everybody says you've got take him off the court because it's a defensive thing, what do I do at the other end?

I would have to say anyone within five shots of the lead has a pretty good shot if the wind blows. If it stays calm, maybe not.

I wish we could have played better defense. We talked about that after the game, that offense isn't something were you can always control whether the shots are going in or not, but that defense is something you can always control.

I wish we could have made our shots early. But our defense early was the difference. Our defense won the game for us.

I wish I could be involved in the high-flying off the glass stuff, but that's just not what I do, ... So I go out there, I play. I take my open shots and I try to move the ball around.

I was pleased with our defense in the second half. We held Stout 20 points below their season average. We were right there with them. Unfortunately, we couldn't get our shots to go in.

I was really pleased with the powerplay, ... The shots didn't go in but I can already tell that it will be better than last year. I really like the way Andreas Moborg controls the puck.

I guess I like shooting here. It's a shooters arena. I got some good looks and the shots just went down.

I guess I got lucky. The shots were there.

If we go down there and keep doing what we've been doing - playing pressure defense and getting open shots by moving the ball on offense - I think we'll do pretty good.

If we get a couple of those shots to pop in, it could be a momentum changer. Unfortunately, it?s the bounce of the ball. Sometimes it goes in, sometimes it stays out.

If we had made some of the shots we were fouled on early and gotten the 3-point play the old-fashioned way, that would have really helped us. They just didn't go in.

If we didn't make those outside shots today, it would have been an ugly offensive game. You have got to make shots when teams do that.

If we keep it under 25, obviously we're going to give him the opportunity to give us a chance to win games. We've really tried to limit our shots against and tried to have a lot of shots for, which means you're playing in the offensive zone a lot more than you're in the defensive zone.

If we just could have gotten some shots to fall in the first half. We started off so well, but we just dug ourselves too big of a hole to get out of.

If we hit a 3-pointer there and it goes to four, now it's a different game. We had two shots that we usually make and some wide-open 3s, and we didn't knock them down. Maybe with experience we will knock them down.

I got lots of shots off and my shots were falling in so that was nice.
