We wanted to run if we could on rebounds. But we knew we had an advantage with our three guards, all three of them can shoot free throws really well.
Mike Webb
We knew Zillah would come to play and we knew we had the weather the storm. In the third quarter we were a little more patient on offense and we got some better looks. We also did a lot better job with offensive rebounds.
Tim Taylor
We came out with confidence and intensity and played very well. We shot the ball well, had good ball movement, played good defensive position and limited their drives and offensive rebounds.
Arnavaz Mistry
They`re big guys, especially Freeman. We were trying to do the best we could boxing them out but unfortunately they got a couple of long rebounds . . . and it really hurt us in the long run.
Michael Lee
They really hustle, play solid defense and really hit the boards. The important thing for us is to get in position to box out (to get rebounds) and (offensively) we have to make smarter passes and make better choices.
Jessica Williams
They are only shooters, they don`t get second or third shots. They don`t get offensive rebounds, so that`s a big deal. Anyone can shoot the ball, but we need scorers. We are so small. It`s hard for us to score if we don`t get them in transition.
Dave Hall
That`s the unfortunate thing. I sent a kid to the hospital today, a 6-2 post player who gives us 21 points a night and a load of rebounds. That made a big difference tonight.
David Mack
My first instinct when I have the puck and I have the shot is to shoot at that open spot (of the net). I get a lot of my goals that way, but also score on rebounds as well.
Bardhyl Mahmuti
I`ve seen him play so well against people like Shaq and Yao Ming, ... a dominant low-post presence - someone that can get you 20 points and 10 rebounds and block shots.
Jamal Crawford
I`m extremely, extremely excited she made the decision to want to play again. That`s a lot of points and a lot of rebounds we can`t just count on and assume. So I`d love it, but it`s not going to be final until it`s final.
Andrew Vorkink
I grabbed 19 rebounds in my first professional game, and somehow found a way to score 20 points. I felt real good about it. I felt that this was the beginning of something good.
Julius Erving
I don`t think we did a very good job on him to be honest with you. If you can hold him under 10 rebounds you should get a medal. I don`t know how many times that`s happened.
Mark Fox
He got some easy buckets and he was stroking the perimeter shots, too. He passed well and there were a couple of times when he picked guys` pockets on rebounds and went up for a score. He just had an overall great game tonight.
Jeff Clark
Caldwell has some very fine guards, they just don`t have the height that we have this year. We have some excellent guards as well, but fortunately for us we was able to get rebounds that they couldn`t.
Jeff Moore
(Trumbo) played a good solid game defensively and got some key rebounds. He`s one of the better players that I saw play in this tournament, and there were some awfully good players playing.
