Points Quotations | Page 2

Morehead State was only averaging about maybe 60 or 63 points a game. Once we scored 70, you knew they were going to have a hard time beating us. We had 70 points with probably ten minutes to go in the game.

I was really surprised by the boys winning the meet. Molalla has battled us close all year each time we've met. Sometimes we've gained more points and sometimes Molalla has.

I was real proud of our team that we hung in there and didn't put our head down. A few months ago, we would have done that getting down 15 points or so.

I was so proud of the way we played defensively. Anytime you hold a team to 28 points you should win the game. You shouldn't be grinding it out with two seconds to go.

I was fighting, and it was pretty much all I had, ... It didn't feel good, and I wasn't moving to any balls. I was trying to shorten points and just do what I could.

I was freaked out. I get nervous, believe me. I kept asking the guys if we got bumped. It was like in '99 at Memphis when we didn't make a good pass in round one and then it started raining and raining. Joe Amato would have passed us in the points if we didn't qualify but NHRA gave us all one more chance Sunday morning and we got in. I got no sleep that night.

I was happy for Eileen because she had eight points and she had been playing very well recently, but her shot hadn't been falling and though she had been playing well, her name hadn't been showing up in the box scores. She was making great rebounds and making great passes off the rebounds.

One of the dominant worries here is the question of whether we're going to see any building of inventory that will result in 1Q weakening. But as the data points have rolled in, that appears to be less and less the case. That's pretty important, and you can see it, in particular, in some of the communications stocks that are moving.

One of the great strong points of this university is the lack of institutional barriers to this kind of thing. In some very top-down universities, it's very hard to collaborate with people outside your departments, if not impossible. But here, it's quite open and has been for quite some time.

One thing I would like to point out is that Chad Harris has become the fifth player at East Henderson to score over 1,000 points in his career.

One thing Jimmie does do is help our defense. He usually gets a steal, here or there, and helps get our transition game going. He's always a capable scorer. He can reel off three, five or seven points in a row. Hopefully, we'll get him back to full strength real soon.

Personally, I think we'll be pretty good. I think we're a defensive, stopping team, I think we'll score more points than a lot of people think that we will, but I mean I think we'll be pretty good.

One of the points we want to make is we're regular rural folks. We're not California Democrats, Washington Democrats, or even Austin Democrats. We don't want to be defined by what people think we are.

One of the first thoughts that ran through my mind was like, 'I guess Shaq was right.' Meaning, he takes more shots than he should. You know, 30 points should be enough for him. What'd he have, like three assists or something like that?

One of the goals we have set for this year is that we never want to get beat by seven points or less, ... That might sound funny, but if you look at last year's results, we lost three games by seven or less. We could have gone into the tournament with five wins instead of two wins, and then that confidence would have been there. So there are opportunities to improve our record dramatically by winning the close games.

One of the key points to me is the lack of communication (among these departments). I don't understand why you don't have that. And why did the officers leave their point of cover? That completely violates standard police doctrine.

One of the keys for us this game was Norton tying up Biggs. He (Biggs) got his points but David did a great job limiting what he could do by not letting him get the ball.

One of the least appealing aspects of modern presidential candidates is that, to avoid saying anything that might prove to be an embarrassing, costly blunder, they cling to a rigid set of talking points that reveal as little as possible about what they really think and who they really are.

One of the likely sticking points in the pending sale of GMAC may well be resolution on Delphi, further emphasizing GM's interest in avoiding a labor dispute.

One of the major points we've discovered over the last year is that it's not as easy to run an online business as people think. If there's one thing Amazon has proven expertise at, it's the ability to offer a good customer experience.

Only three relief points will be opened on November 7 along the Line of Control (LoC),

On offense we couldn't do anything. They were tough and they slowed us down. We only scored 16 points in the first half.

On the prices paid index, you're down 50 points from the highs in October, which the bond market clearly likes.

New teachers will more than meet the required 30 points by attending the early release sessions,

Nineteen points wasn't going to get it done for us. Nineteen points for some teams and being up by two, that's fine for some teams, but we felt the tempo wasn't in our favor and we also felt we didn't move the ball well.

I was prepared for a long match. As soon as I had an opportunity I was trying to make the points shorter and save energy. I'm happy with the consistency of my game, and I tried to keep it up and win as many points as possible.

I was prepared for a long match today. The less time I had to spend on court, the better. I was trying to make the points shorter and save some energy.

I worked really hard when I was off, because that's all I could really do. It's just a matter of putting points together and kind of remembering how I played.

I would have felt better if we were going into halftime about three minutes earlier. We held them to zero points for the first five minutes (of the second quarter) and then we started fouling them and sending them to the line.

I would have liked to have 12 points but we must learn our lessons. I don't think England are the best team in Europe but they are one of the best with three young forwards and a good defense.

I was so frustrated with our last loss I said I'll fix it. Tonight I just wanted to attack and send a message. The reason I scored 62 points was because I wanted to win so bad. I just felt that I could continually attack these guys. It's a great feeling that I could do it here in front of our fans and give them an early Christmas present.

I was surprised about the first two sets because Ivan played different tactics compared to the other two matches he played when he won. But I expected him to play better and even though three match points went I knew it wasn't the end.

I was surprised. Typically, the fences are higher. Maybe I got extra points for that.

If we go and see hundreds of different market resources, you are seeing hundreds of different points of view, and once in a while, my experience is, you will come across one or two that are just outstanding, and you never would have thought of them.

If we don't pull three out of the four points this weekend, we're not going to catch them. It's going to be impossible. They're up five (points) on us right now. They'll be up nine if they sweep. I'm not even thinking about that.

I grew up watching him play on the Bulls. Between him and Michael Jordan I would've rather seen Toni score 30 points in a game.

I guess if you're going to be successful, you have to win different ways. I thought we struggled offensively, and I give the credit to (Loyola). They're long and athletic and well-coached, and it's difficult to play against them. But I thought we defended extremely well. To hold (Loyola) to 50 points is quite an accomplishment. And we rebounded the basketball.

I was pleased with our defense in the second half. We held Stout 20 points below their season average. We were right there with them. Unfortunately, we couldn't get our shots to go in.

I was pleased with the way we played. Seattle's a dangerous team, the way they can put points on the board quickly, because they can create turnovers and their three-point shot is effective. It was good to get it -- we had a couple moments -- but to hang onto a double-digit lead for most of the game, it's good we kept that margin.

Nevertheless, limited core inflation in January will not deter the ECB from hiking interest rates by a further 25 basis points on Thursday.

Nobody knew he was hurt because he wanted the two points on the lay-up so bad. He drove all the way down and dunked the ball, and then blood was rushing out of his nose. That's who he is. He'll fight through anything. I love him, respect him, admire him and I wish more of our guys would take on his attitude.

Nicky has had a good season and Amato is playing important minutes. Brunet scores points for us and defensively gets the assignment of the opponent's best player. There have been times when Ashley has been unstoppable in the low post.

NFA is a very quick team. Instead of trying to make short passes, we did too much dribbling and turned the ball over. I was very happy with our defense, though. We held a good NFA team to 40 points until we ran out of gas late. We're primarily playing six guys, and Browning is just coming back off the flu.

Nic is ironclad when it comes to defense, it is really hard to get points against him. He has also improved his offensive thrust and his net play has been phenomenal.

Nick Cardy's work helped define some of the things we see in comics today and take for granted. He broke out of the mold in terms of covers and layout and created a truly interactive experience for the reader that directly points back to his time with the Eisner studio.

Nick Owens fouled out with 2:44 left in overtime and we thought we were in trouble. It was just one of those games that was big play after big play. This is the same team that beat us by two points two weeks ago in the Hammond Tournament.

I would be surprised if there were significant appreciation. Whatever the premium is, three or four points ... because 85 percent of the company is still going to be coming, there is not much they can do to please the public on the upside.

I would have never expected he had that many. But he gets his points in bunches.

I would have rather had eight points and a win than whatever I had tonight and to lose. We showed some good signs in coming back as we did. But we're not going to win too many games falling behind by 16 or 17 points like we did.

I would have said you were crazy if you told me we would score eight points in the second half and win. That was the best first quarter we've had all year, but we tightened up quite a bit in the second half and lost our confidence.

I would have thought that if we gave up 70 points we would have lost the game.

I wouldn't encourage him to pick himself, but I would love for him to make it. Certainly he's got major-championship-type game. We've seen him there a bunch in majors. If he gets on a roll and gets a bunch of points and has a couple good majors, we want him on the team.

I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose. If we were beaten, Hearts would move nine points in front of us and that would maybe be too much to catch up. A win would be fantastic but a draw would not be terrible for us.

We needed a win bad. But we can't continue to play like this. . . . This has been four games in a row now. But I'm going to be positive. It was a good win for us. We needed it bad. I don't know how many points we scored in the fourth quarter (12) but we've got to finish fourth quarters off better. We'll take it. All day long. But we've got to play better against Chicago. Much better.

When I looked in Aaron's eyes during the timeout, I knew he would make those free throws. He looked very confident. We could have folded after Pisgah was ahead by two points and time running out, but our guys just wouldn't quit tonight, they wanted to win too much.

We had awesome, awesome swims today. We had best times for just about everybody. We looked really great in that respect and we have an opportunity to earn some more points tomorrow, but we have to stay where we are or move ahead.

We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

My girls never gave up. We were down by 16 at halftime and we lose by 18. We lost the second half by two points against a very good team. I'm very proud of how they played.

My guys did an outstanding job, ... They really had to work hard and while it looked like luck was totally against us, we actually came out gaining eight points which puts us in the lead by 41. With one race left we are ready to go and fully intend to bring home our second championship.

My hat's off to the defense. Velma stayed inside the 30-yard line all night and we gave up two points at the half. But offensively, we just never got it going.

Like in every city, some are healthy, some suffer. We try to establish a criteria and separate one mega city from another. The crucial points we look for are that the city has to be a critical place (whether regionally or globally speaking) and it needs to have a critical system which the entire city depends on,

Some bears had implied that rates will rise by 50 basis points tomorrow, and some people were a bit worried about that.

Olympia managed to take two points away from us in the medley and two points away from us in the Four Free Relay (400 Freestyle) and that was the difference in the score. Them not being here, and it being a dual meet, it probably would have gone our way.

Obviously you're disappointed when you get sent down, but I've been sent down before, ... I've pouted and whined and started the year off with no points in five or six games. That's the wrong thing to do. I've got to come out here and lead by example. If the younger guys see me moping around, then they're going to do the same.

Of course the loss of the 2,400 GM jobs will hurt the Oklahoma and Oklahoma City economies. However, given the provisions of job banks, the full force of the negative impacts will not be felt until 2008. In the interim, our survey points to solid growth with positive job gains in the months ahead for Oklahoma's economy.

Obviously, we had a hard time scoring. We didn't score any points in 10 minutes and you compound that with McGrady getting hot and on a roll . . . that's what Houston wanted to do. They wanted to keep it close in the fourth quarter and have McGrady take over. But offensively it's tough when the ball doesn't go in.

Obviously, we have to tweak our defense and hopefully score points off that. We have the ability to run.

One of my talking points will be the accident of geography.

One of the turning points in the look of the Guardian is when we decided Logan Thackeray would be a Guardian as opposed to a Warrior. Logan's own protective nature and the fact that the humans have been knocked back into defensive positions informed a lot of what the Guardian became.

One or two points here and there going the other way and maybe the outcome would have been different.

One of the things this points out is that we're on the road to recovery, but the road is going to be bumpy -- it always is.

Nerve cells communicate with one another at specialized points called synapses. And these synapses are plastic - they can be modified by learning.

One thing that plagued us tonight was our offense was good until we got to the penalty area. We didn't continue to play the same game. At points we controlled the ball for a long time.

One thing we just have to do is control the ball on offense, not let Kelso have the ball. That's the easiest way to prevent them from putting points on the board. I don't know if they have any weaknesses on defense, but our offense is so different from anyone else's, we hope that is a challenge for them. That's one of the reasons we picked this offense.

No one could have predicted such a monster year, nor anticipated the sustained strength of consumer confidence that fueled the economy. Every indicator points to a leveling-off in early 2000. But, of course, that's what we all said last year.

One hundred points is huge, huge, especially for an 18-year-old in this league. That's pretty unbelievable. It's definitely something I want to help him achieve. Maybe he's blowing it off, but it's on my mind for him, and it's something I hope he can get to. But I think he's just going to play his game. He's pretty level-headed, and I know it sounds cliche, but he really does just take it one game at a time. And that's good on his part just to stay focused. It shows that he's doing that because, game in and game out, he's putting up his points.

One of our focal points going into the game was the boards against Brisbane and to stay competitive. And I thought Benny Knight was absolutely outstanding with 16 boards - I can't remember him playing a better game than that for us.

One of our goals was to have a quarter where we only gave up nine points or less. Instead, we only gave up nine in the half.

One of our major points is promoting four-hour rounds or less. Our members really like that.

One of our points of emphasis at halftime was to stop the unforced turnovers Susquehanna committed 12. We also had to find a way to get defensive stops.

One of our points of emphasis was to go out to a quick start. That's definitely what we did tonight. We scored early and we shot the ball well, very well.

One of our problems all year was that we didn't have that third line producing as many points as our first and second line. I called (the Mitchell, Banks, Slaney line) our third line, but Saturday, you couldn't really tell a difference.

One of our selling points is that we have homemade cakes. And I mean they are homemade. From scratch.

One of the strengths of this team is we grind it defensively but we get fast break points. We have the opportunity to get points in the open floor.

One of the things that has gotten our interest is the fact that Apple only has a couple percentage points of PC market share. Apple doesn't need to do a lot to have meaningful gains. The new operating system clearly ought to help them.

My goal is to maintain a top 10 position in the points through the first 13 races. From that point on, I want to make sure we are running in the top five. I want to end the first 26 races in the top five in points, and then go into the Chase. Once there, we can turn it on.

Mortgage rates have increased an additional 35 basis points from their average in the first quarter,

Moss played great. He got a lot of key early offensive boards, got some big-time points and some key stops.

More women's restrooms, doubling the amount of restrooms all over and more points for concessions.

Monmouth beat us the past five times so we owe them. They beat us and then they beat us by adding more points as a smack in the face. We remember that.

No one has been able to stop him. We obviously didn't want to give up 30 points to him. It's everyone's job to get in there to do what we need to to stop him. He has phenomenal talent.

Of course I am disappointed, I was so close. Kim was absolutely solid at decisive points and was playing very aggressive throughout.

Of course I was a little worried knowing how many points they had come back from and how dangerous they are. But we've been playing together for a while. Based on our past games, I knew we would come up on top.

My finishing position in the points is secondary this season. Finishing in the top five in the owner's points is the most important thing. Wherever I finish in the points is just a bonus.

No one was there to say anything for him. If we're just to take him at his word when all the evidence points to the contrary, that's not very much to go on.

Maybe Exxon will go up a little bit today because they beat the earnings; but remember, the stock has dropped 7 points in the last couple of weeks. So I would say this is really not a very dynamic investment. People like it and get a little dividend. You are really wasting your time with these stocks because you invest money in them and in two years, you have the same price as you had from the time you invested. So you really, in a sense, lose money by owning these stocks.

Maybe the most important thing is they have more help around them. They don't have to feel if they get behind by six or seven points that they have to bring us back. We have other guys who can score the ball and that has been mentally helpful for the team.

My fastball command was pretty poor, but the cutter was pretty good. The first inning had good points and bad points. Mostly, the execution wasn't there at all. For me, it's trying to get mechanics down to be consistent, and today I wasn't consistent.

Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.

Points after touchdowns are big. We may need to take a little more serious look at everything we do. Little things will come up and bite you - little mental errors.
