It was another typical Western-Central game. Both teams played with a great deal of heart. We just fought and fought, and had guys come up with some huge plays at critical times. I told the...

We had Republic, Marshfield and Ozark in a row, and honestly we wanted one win out of those games. Two was going to be icing. We got two.

We haven’t been pushed to three games for many years and Sri Lanka are a credit to themselves.

The Olympic Games tends to be a little more of a coming together of all the nations, so it’s different. I really can’t imagine a bad reaction. If it was going to be bad [in...

The way the league is set up, and people opting out, we don’t get many home games — we’ve only had eight. We haven’t been there that much this year so it’s really nice to...

We still have 26 games to go. I refuse to give in.

You would think that we are playing at Coors Field the way these games are going.

We definitely want to get some momentum and feel good about ourselves. We’ve still got eight games. I’m sure we’ll get it.

Let me say that our pitchers now have a disadvantage because our pitchers usually have games where they pitch 125 pitches. And here they were limited to 65, 80 or 95. So our starters are...

Manny is going to play the majority of the games. But it would be nice to play a little more.

We’re going into the playoffs with an edge because we really had to be sharp the last 10 games. It’s a whole new season, but hopefully that’ll help us.

It’s not good for the girls to have to suffer through games like this. It’s hard on them and it’s hard on me.

Finishing fourth, you’re almost there, you’ve almost got a medal. I think going into the next Games, it gives you confidence. Coming fourth feels terrible at the time because you’re on the verge of getting...

I’m not surprised by the intensity, I didn’t have to play it up to my girls at all. They knew how important this game was. I knew if both teams played at the top of...

It’s a huge game. The last time we played, we played one of our worst games this year.

That ices games for us. We’ve got great shooters, but we knew they were going to foul us at the end. Making free throws really helped us win the game.

During the last five games, we’ve limited teams to shooting a combined 38 percent. We’re most happy as a coaching staff with the way we have been playing at the defensive end.

We played good enough to win two ball games, but we didn’t make a couple of plays in the outfield and that cost us.

Once he hits that, all previous games he coached are counted. It’s a long-term policy. Once you’ve surpassed the minimums, we don’t presume to go in and edit specific games.

To be great we need to win games we aren’t supposed to win.

I definitely feel the most comfortable on the wing. In games, if the team needs it, I’ll bring the ball up. I can also go inside. We’re lucky because we have a couple of guys...

Nothing finalized, … It’s natural we’d think about things such as the X-games. We certainly play a lot of poker on our air, so we’re thinking about that. We’re also thinking about bass. We have...

With all the negative stuff going on around here, the crazy Ozzie has won [96] games and has 30-or-something one-run wins, … How many other managers can do that?

How can you be a choker or a loser when you’ve won 91 games?

We really needed that one. We struggled a bit in out first two games and although we’ve still got a few areas to work on, this was a better performance.

At least we get a couple days in between games after tonight. That’s going to help us a lot.

I think the two games we lost in Kansas City [in the first week] were a wake-up call. All of a sudden, they paid attention and got going.

I wish Mike all the best off the court, … As always, I hope the Spurs lose 82 games.

Most certainly it affected the games in which I was playing. We lost one game to Japan which I don’t think we should have.

I’m not going to lie. I do (care), … The only stat that counts is if you win games. I understand that, but still, I don’t want my stats to look bad or not be...

The big difference between last year and this year is that last year we would let games like this slip away from us.

It’s always important in head-to-head games. If you want to get where they’re at, you’ve got to beat them. We’ve got to play good against them.

We wanted to get back on track. You go two games without scoring a goal and it gets in your mind a bit.

We figured out a little bit the last 11 games and the last few weeks that we like to play and what we have to do to be successful. We’ve just got to keep it...

We feel like we’re playing pretty well at times. We lost three games in the Sarasota tournament alone. Plus, we’re a pretty young team. We have eight new freshman players this year.

They’re a team that’s already played in a different venue. They’ve gone on the road to win a couple games in this tournament, which shows toughness on their part. ? What the Colonial conference has...

It’s still fun to come to games, and it’s still fun to be in the Seattle crowd.

We haven’t had a game in two weeks. It’s got a huge effect. It’s going to take a few games to get back to where we were. We were really good at the beginning of...

Everybody’s surprised. There’s guys, not naming anybody, that won’t sniff the playoffs, that are 15 games under .500, that are playing in the game. But it is an All-Star Game. It’s an individual performance game....

From the way of Go the beauty of Japan and the Orient had fled. Everything had become science and regulation.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t being said. The art of reading between the lines is a life long quest of the wise.

People’s behaviors are messages, not a diagnosis because I can no longer discern the world’s version of insanity.

It was one of those games we had to come in and play hard from the beginning of the game and that is what we did. They didn’t have a field goal for about the...

We have 31 games left and are outside looking in so every game is critical. Late in the game when we have the lead, those are games we have to get.

I really enjoyed it. I played a couple of preseason games, but the atmosphere tonight was totally different. The pace is much quicker and more intense, but it was easier to get into it.

I think we need to get off to better starts. The last couple games, we kind of dug ourselves a hole. You can’t just turn it on in the second half.

We haven’t really proved anything yet. We have a long road in front of us, 15 ACC games. So I am glad that most of the non-conference games are out of the way and now...

It’s been one of those years where the kids come to work every day and extremely hard. If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that we’d win 24 games, win...

I’m approaching it like it’s my Finals, you’ve got like two, three games more — if you put me out there, I am going to be ready. I’m looking real forward to these games.

It’s not for me. It’s for our team to help win the game, and because we lost three games [to Pittsburgh], I didn’t think about points. We lost one game six or seven to one...
