Bruce Moore Good Quotations

Somebody had to lose tonight and it was going to be a good team. The girls played hard and I couldn't be more proud of how they played. Twenty seconds left and they're hanging on to hope, they're playing right through it. They're classy girls. They've been that way all season.

Stephanie has matured a lot as a basketball player in the last two weeks. The whole team has. I'm really proud of them. This team didn't say a word in the second half, they just came out with a serious look on their faces and played great basketball. They're believing in themselves and each other. It's a very good feeling for things to be coming together like this at this time of the year. It's a real good place to be right now.

We played hard and I like the way this team is playing. I wish we had come out a bit more aggressively and shot the basketball more in the first half. We passed up a lot of shots early tonight. We took those shots in the second half. That's coming. I'm feeling pretty good about our team and I like where we're at. I think good things are in the future.

Stopping Brittany Woolley alone doesn't beat this team. They've got a lot of weapons. They've got a lot of really good players. You stop one, there's going to be another one or two to step in and do their job. That's the bottom line.

It was a good game. We started out behind in the first quarter and then the second and third were pretty even. The girls stepped up big time in the fourth quarter. We made a big defensive adjustment and it really paid off big for us. SC seemed to be off guard at that and they didn't get many good looks down the stretch.

It was a tough game. Dayton comes to play. They always play good basketball against us and tonight was no exception. They're scrappy and we knew they'd come to play hard and they did. They played very well. They did a great job. Hats off to them. We're just happy to have a win.
