But my back had really nothing to do with it. I just didn't execute pitches.

I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't concerned. It's all mental and physical toughness when you go on the road. You've got to do a better job taking care of the ball.

Possessions are also really key. Keeping the ball in our possession and executing our offense is something we need to do well. We've been a good team all season long of taking care of the basketball. I think there's been 10 or 12 games where we've been under eight turnovers. Those two things are the keys for any one of the teams in the tournament. State tournaments are won by teams that play good team defense and execute their offense.

Neither team really executed well tonight, but both sides played good defense. We just didn't execute well and it seemed like we got out of sync with doing the things we've done up to this point. I think some of that was nerves tonight.

Guys were disappointed and frustrated. It?s the kind of feeling that we don?t want to have during the playoffs, especially when you know you can give a little more and play a little harder and execute a little better. We all what we have to do and we can compete with every team in this division. It?s up to us to come together as a group and make some noise and make a run, which we?re capable of doing.

Greenfield is currently ranked 10th in the area, but we made them look like state champs. With a few exceptions, we just did not execute well and continued to violate some of the basic rules of wresting.

Ideas are nothing. They're irrelevant. If you think your idea is so important, you're doomed. The reality is if you don't like one idea, I've got 299 more. If I tell you my idea, and you can execute better against that idea than I can - great; I get to play a terrific game.

Given the challenging acquisition market we are pleased to have acquired these outstanding properties. We continue to focus our growth in high growth and high barrier to entry markets.

Getting that runner on and having him thrown out, it would've been easy for them to hang their heads. I'm just proud of our guys. It was a tremendous effort. We've done those types of things all year. And our guys seem to execute when they are called upon.

I feel real really good. I can call any scheme in practice and have confidence that they'll execute it. If you have a gun with six bullets, you shoot all of them. Last year, I had a gun with no bullets so now I feel totally different. It's exciting.

If we would have maybe closed some of those games where we had leads going into the fourth, or the last four minutes, we could be right there. We've beaten some good teams. I think if some of those games would have went our way, we'd be in the playoffs, but they didn't. I think we have the talent here. We just have to pull it together and execute better.

I don't think it's anything major at all. We've got to play better, I guess, execute better and do the little things right. Hopefully, we can get this month over with and maybe we'll come out in May and go 30-0 or something.

Give them all the credit. We didn't execute on offense, especially in the first half.

For most of three quarters, we showed what we're capable of doing when we execute and play smart. We led one of the best teams in the district by 20 points.

Then, just like that, the lights went out for our kids.

I don't think we need to do anything differently. We need to do things consistently. That's been our biggest challenge this year. We haven't continued to execute for 60 minutes the way we need to. We haven't put together the 60 minutes on both sides of the ball.

I felt pretty good about the way our girls stepped up tonight. In the end, it came down to execution, and we didn't execute like we needed to.

I give Lisle a lot of credit. They run the system and they execute it. I quit counting their offensive rebounds at 19.

We need to start over from the beginning.

I had very good command tonight and I felt I threw the ball well. I had a very good game plan and was able to execute it.

But even if we would execute perfectly on our corporate strategy, unless we have the right channels to the market to bridge the last few meters to the consumer, it's all in vain.

I don't care about all that stuff. I don't believe in voodoo or jinxes or the curse of the Bambino. Quite frankly, Ball State has outplayed us. Our mental attitude has not been quite right and they've played hard. We need to make sure we're emotionally ready. We called on our seniors this week to make sure our preparation is done right and that we execute and play with emotion in the game.

I don't know why we don't execute in that area. It's there to be had. We just, for whatever reason, can't stand prosperity, I guess. Plus, I think we like our kickers to be tops in America in scoring points.

I don't know why we don't execute in that area. It's there to be had. We just for whatever reason can't stand prosperity, I guess. Plus, I think we like our kickers to be tops in America in scoring points.

I don't know what the deal was, but we abandoned the run. We abandoned the run -- I don't know what it was. I can't sit here and tell you it was because of the fumbles or it wasn't, but for whatever reason it was, we abandoned the run. I think when we get to go out there and execute our game plan it's hard to beat us. Every time we become one-dimensional we end up losing.
