Willie Thomas Quotations

We ran out of gas. We were getting good looks, but we couldn't get off a shot.

She decided to play and she went to work. She decided to come out and assert herself.

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.

I didn't have a good feeling earlier in the day. And at game time, I didn't think they were ready. But I'll take a win any way I can get it.

It feels great; my girls got a victory for the old man. We played very well, particularly in the second half.

That was the game plan. Sometimes they did it well, sometimes they didn't.

We didn't shoot well from the free-throw line all night long. But when it counted, we made them in the final minute.

We pride ourselves on our defense, and our defense carried us tonight. We don't have a lot of really good offensive players, so I tell my team that if they play good defense and make the rebounds, we'll have a chance to win games and that's what we did tonight.

We are just not a good basketball team right now. I think we are going to be, but we are just not good right now.

We picked it up defensively, and that made us get it going offensively, too. Their 3-2 zone gave us some problems in the first quarter and part of the second, but we settled down and were able to start to penetrate. We stopped trying to force everything.

When she turns and gets good looks at the basket, she's hard to stop.

Balanced scoring is what you ideally would like to have night after night, but everybody is happy as long as they are scoring.

That was a big change! It was a wonderful win. It was great to see the girls get out and be able to run some.

That's a big win. They've vastly improved and they played a patient ballgame.

It'll be real nice. I saw Reagan and I think it's great to see President Bush in our community.

I'm very comfortable when Derrick has the ball. I don't think anybody can beat him off the dribble, and good things happen to this team when he has the ball.
