Ben Howland Line Quotations

Typically if we get out-boarded by nine and shoot 5-of-13 from the foul line and allow someone to shoot 61 percent in the first half, we are not going to win. We gutted it out, found a way.

It was another outstanding job defensively. In the second half, we did a much better job of getting to the line and getting fouled.

Brandon Roy was terrific. It seemed like he was going to the line every possession.

The bottom line is, we make those foul shots, Steele doesn't have that shot down the stretch.

The bottom line is if we make our foul shots, it doesn't come down to Steele taking a 3-point shot at the end.
