Points Quotations | Page 6

I don't think she had two points in the entire first half (against Bonner). And she had 18 in the second half. We knew she was scoring but we didn't think she had quite that many points.

I don't think it's ever been about points for Tatyana. We're all athletes and we all want some competition while we're out there.

I don't think it's ever mattered to Spencer whether he scores any points or not. He's just trying to do what the team needs him to do and he's always going to do exactly what the coach wants him to do.

For whatever reason our offense hasn't come together yet, but our defense has been outstanding and that's probably the biggest reason we're 4-0. Only one opponent (Martha's Vineyard) has managed to score more than 50 points (51) and counting tonight, we're allowing an average of 42.5 points. When we can do that, I have to like our chances.

For the rookies, I just wanted them to get the feel for what a track meet is like, but Rebecca ran a nice race and picked up some points for the team, which should be encouraging for the future.

For the second match in a row, we have leads and get to 20 points and lose our focus. We have to learn to put teams away when we're ahead.

Forty points and 10 assists. When he wasn't scoring, he was creating opportunities for other guys. Tonight was a prime example of a team effort. Our intensity was much better from the start.

Forty points was our first target and we have not got there yet. We need another draw and it is only when we get it that we will set another target. We have spent most of the season in the top six or seven and we don't want to start slipping now.

For us it was about the little things. We talk about executing, and we did at times. Our defense was playing lights out. But, we didn't get the points we needed in the first half off all those opportunities. But, our kids showed guts and marched down the field to make it interesting. We just have to lick our wounds and fix our consistency.

For us it was turnovers. Every time we turned the ball over, they converted it into points it seemed like and that was hard to overcome. We knew going into the game, one of the keys was taking care of the ball and we didn't do that. The bottom line is they are bigger, quicker, more talented and a lot better.

For us there is only one way to look at it, we know we have 10 more points available for us out there. We put ourselves in a position where we don't have any other options.

For us, this is a great time to invest. The number of recreational cyclists has never been higher. For me, it all points upward -- that we are on the upswing of growth.

For us to be a conference contender, we've got to be a better team defensively. You can't give up (35) points in the first half and expect to win. Our offense played well, but didn't get the stops when we needed to.

For us to be up 12 points when three years ago we couldn't have played in the same building as them, I wouldn't give that up for anything. I'm proud to wear this jersey.

For us to come out and put up 42 points, that's the Rams of old. That's what we're used to doing. It's good to get back on track and put up 42 points again.

I expect Jason to come into Kansas State and have a very, very good freshman season. I think he is going to have the opportunity to contribute immediately. I think he can average between 30-32 minutes per game and double figures in both points and rebounds. I think he will be a great fit for a physical conference in the Big 12 because he is a very physical player. He is only going to get stronger, tougher and better as a player under coach Huggins' guidance.

I don't understand it, but I wish I did. We can go out and get beat by almost 50 points and then turn around and play probably our best game of the season. If I knew why, I would probably be a millionaire.

I don't think you can stop Ford; she can score up to 40 points a game if she's feeling it.

I don't think you'll ever see someone so young do what Kyle has managed to do. What I've been impressed with this year is that he's learned how to points race.

I don't think we will fall as much as Wall Street. Our market will lose 50 points or 1 per cent.

I give them a lot of credit, they didn't give up. We got up by 16 points and they came back. ... I thought they played hard.

I give the U.S. credit for passing character test. At the end of the day, it is not certainly a perfect performance, but we are on the road and we take two points away from the home team.

I give all of the credit in the world to Apollo-Ridge. They don't give up and we have not given up that many points all year. They pounded the ball inside and we worked on it. I cannot make the kids bigger.

If it doesn't (target Abel), then maybe they're not reading the papers because, when you see what she's averaging, I think everybody will know Vanessa Abel. She's put our school in the paper a lot this year and, even though she is the focal point, we're averaging 63.1 points scoring and we've done a nice job on offense.

I felt, if we were going to be successful, it was important to have a number of guys scoring between nine and 14 points a game.

I felt it in between points and it's just getting worse and worse and worse. It's hurting pretty bad right now.

I felt it was a matter of trying to regroup, put my head down, work hard and not to give too many points away in the second set. I wanted to put more pressure on him early in the second set, and I was able to do that. The momentum really swung in my favor and I was able to continue to do that in the third set as well.

I felt like we played a real good game against Tom Bean, ... but we made a lot of mistakes we can improve on. We can improve our passing game. We have a lot of weapons and I feel like we can put points on the board.

I felt pretty good on the court out there today, ... I really felt my game, right from the beginning, was consistent and I didn't let her really get into her rhythm and finish the points pretty quickly, as she loves to do.

I have 10 points more than anybody. Of course, I'm happy with the result but I hope I can perform that way again in the free program.

I believe that the starting points for building a good team are in place. Now we've got to keep going. It's a process. Then as we go, you know what, we can start to figure out what's realistic and where we are. Where are we in the standings? Are we still in position to set our sights on other things? Are we fighting to make the playoffs? You go a little bit at a time.

I believe that we have dramatically underestimated the size of the global market, including the number of points of distribution and the power of the Starbucks brand,

I believe we're a lot closer to the same philosophies than they are portraying now. Were there points in those meetings when both sides were clearly frustrated and Trevor was clearly frustrated? Absolutely, and I understand that. I can only take that back and try to process that and try to find a way to satisfy the concerns he was raising. We're trying to craft something that will work for both sides. And I can tell you that I think we're a lot closer than they're suggesting we are.

I believe the team is being fair in its decision for this weekend. Although I am not currently in a championship race, the team is in a points race. I always welcome opportunities that are presented to me, and to work with a veteran like Jimmy Spencer is a great opportunity. I hope that this decision will not only benefit me, but the team as well.

I bet you 60 percent of their points came within five feet easily. We need to get physical inside, and we don't. We are very soft and timid.

Certainly it has become the game that everybody in the Big East points to.

Carly Noyes and Kelly Sutherland played great. Carly had nine of her 11 points in the second quarter.

Certainly, last year walking off that field after the Atlanta game was one of the low points of my coaching career. It was nice to win this football game. That simple.

But we can't dwell on that. We have guys here who have to step up. We need points right now and we have to play better together as a team.

But we couldn't get 60. It's a matter of getting looks for other people, getting chances for other guys to put a few points on the board to augment the 30, 35 that (Scott) Martin and (Rob) Hummel get. They've pretty much gotten their points all the way through.

But we didn't get any stops. That's what I was begging for. ... We know what they do, we know what we needed to stop -- points in the paint. That's where they're good. We needed to pack it in there and get the stops.

But we're 11 points ahead of Rangers now and while there is a long way to go, that gap will be difficult to close.

Catherine picked up her points this game. I was happy with the team effort.

But at the very start, Toro Rosso perhaps have a better chance to score points than does Red Bull.

I don't agree with the refs at all, giving points like that. He has every right to be upset.

I don't care about points or stats or anything like that. All I care about is seeing our team play with great passion on defense. You can't be a good basketball program unless you truly believe that defense wins championships. We're getting there.

I don't care if it's a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs.

I don't know why they're criticized. They're averaging 30 points a game and almost 400 yards.

I don't know why we couldn't hold any team under 60 points a game. Now the problem is, can we score 61 points?

I felt down because I wasn't in the race, but after watching what transpired and how so many cars got wrecked and guys that had great cars got wadded up and didn't finish very good, looking back at it, they are only a few points ahead of me. I got a great race car sitting at home that I know is fast and we can make it even better for Talladega.

I felt good because, you know, even the points I was losing, I felt like I was losing them on my terms. I thought I was hitting the ball big and attacking. It felt clean today.

I felt like I was productive at points and I wasn't productive at points, ... Any good QB has some down time and down years and unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to make up for that.

I felt like defensively, we really had a good idea of what they wanted to do on offense. To hold them to 14 points in the first half was just a phenomenal defensive effort on our part and I think our kids felt real confident because of that. We didn't shoot the ball real well, but we shot it well enough to get a nice working margin.

I felt like I needed to pick up the scoring. I felt like we hit a little dead spot. If I wasn't aggressive, I don't know how many points would have been up on that board.

I felt like it was a very close match. We know each other very well and it was just a question of a couple of points who was going to be the winner today.

Busch racing is so fun to me because there's no points involved and I can go race and try to win, take chances. We might make it on gas, we might not.

Businesses in North Dakota definitely benefited from much warmer weather for the month according to comments from businesses in our survey. It is difficult to separate out the impacts of weather from more fundamental economic factors, but even so, our survey still points to solid growth in the months ahead.

But there are other teams that should be better, too, because of all the changes that have taken place. You look at the league right now and to be honest, I couldn't tell you who's going to be over 100 points or who would be below 80 points.

China largely looks at it from two points of view-American domination of the world of the Middle East region, and of the oil market.

China should cut heavy industries' share in gross domestic output by 9 percentage points between 2013 and 2030 to meet its pollution cuts target.

Basically it's a marketing test. If you go to our Web site sometimes you'll see we've got different price points we're trying out for Florida residents. Similar situation: Let's pick some people, send them a ticket and see how many of them come. It tells us who's watching. And chances are, someone who brings a ticket and uses it is not going to come by themselves.

Basically what we needed to make sure we did was come down and settle ourselves down on offense. When we see them running points on us we came down and tried to get those points back, and that's when you need to be patient. I think we settled ourselves down and got some better looks to fend off the little run they made.

Basketball is a game of runs. Everybody can easily run off 10 or 12 points real quick. It is just how we respond when they start going on a run.

I have an eclectic past, ... but I intentionally have pursued that because there are so many interesting points of view that I want to explore. I think I'm not quite as all over the map as maybe people think. There's a certain reason that I have done all those plays. I tend to gravitate to the writers that I think are trying to say something, or who are outside of the center a bit and who are trying to break in and get their point of view expressed.

I had hoped that we would be six points ahead of Stenhousemuir before we meet them next.

I had match points in the second set but I played very badly, and I pretty much gave him that second set. I could have ended this match sooner than I did but this is how tennis is, things can turn around really quickly. In the end the most important thing is the result. I am very happy I was able to come through 7-5 in the third today.

To get 67 points from your bench ... there are nights when we don't get 67 as a team.

Today has given us a psychological boost ahead of that match. We have taken two points off the champions while Saracens will be coming off the back of a 50-point defeat at Northampton and they are bound to be a pretty unhappy camp. We have arrested our downward slide and I am very pleased with this result.

Having two weeks to prepare and pore over every frame of game film is a great advantage. I am very interested to see what Coach Weis has planned, particularly the first 15 offensive plays which Weis scripts. Weis has done a great job of putting points on the board against highly ranked opponents.

Having said that, I think that in any Davis Cup tie you look to where your most likely points will come from and where your tougher opposition will be. It's a bit like being a football manager. I have to look to where our best chances are and pick my team around it.

Having Scott in the top five made me very happy. We would like to have beaten Western, but we were two points short.

Here is a classical story of a stock that is trading under book value. AT&T, the same thing. I believe it is up 4 or 5 points from its low and basically trying to stabilize at these levels, when it is all said and done, it still probably will be the leader of the pack. Again, a company selling under book value,

We've got to put points on the board, because they're going to score. It's going to be a matter of us finding a way to get in the end zone.

We've got to put this one behind us. We've got one more game on the road against Vancouver. You can't stress the importance of these games. We need these points for getting into the playoffs.

We've got to realize how important these games are. The way teams can get points nowadays, especially with the amount of games we have left, we can't let these things slip as it's really hard to make up points.

We've got to weigh up the risks. From our own perspective, we'd done our own points system (on the incident) and it fell within that range. The match review panel got it around the mark.

We feel like he can score 300 more points than he did in this meet. This is the first time he's had a chance to compete in a decathlon before the Drake Relays. That's one of the reasons we came to this meet because now he can train and get ready for Drake as he continues to move up.

What I'm doing here is having more points of analysis near the customers, because the key here is quick containment.

What I said at half-time was that there were going to be a lot more points in the game and sitting on a lead wasn't an option. We had to be brave in going out to play again which is why the score after half-time was so important.

When he's had a big game, he's getting eight to 10 points on offensive rebounds.

He's a big, physical guy. You can't leave him for a minute. A lot of his points came on second shots.

He (Reed) had a great night. He kept his composure throughout the game and stayed focused. Early things weren't quite going his way, but he stayed within himself and then eventually things started to open up for him and good things happened. His teammates got him the ball and there is no way he could score those points without his teammates making that effort to get him the basketball.

What we were doing in the last minute we should have been doing for 40 minutes. To be able to score that many points in that little time, we should be able to take a lesson from that.

Her offensive rebounds are what is so damaging to a team. She scores a lot of her points getting offensive rebounds.

Her opponent was good at luring Fernanda into making mistakes but wasn't good at winning points outright.

He?s a guy that does everything no one sees but the coaches. He?s the guy that always boxes out, always gets on the floor - all of the intangibles. You might see he has three or four points a game but he makes so many contributions to our team in so many different ways.

He's 19 points ahead of the next closest guy on our team. He's able to create things from nothing on offense.

He's a force. We were willing to give up some inside points as long as we were not giving up 3-pointers. We did all that we needed to do to win.

We thought we should have been up 14 to 18 points at halftime. You feel bad that you don't have the good lead, but by the same token, we knew we're playing pretty well and it was a matter of time, especially with the 1-for-10 from the line.

We thought we would be a playoff team when the season began. We had 17 games decided by less than 10 points and suffered nine league losses by five (points) or less. We could never get over the hump.

We threw four interceptions, one they returned for a TD, and they scored 22 points off of them. You're not going to win a game when that happens. The difference tonight was two things. The first thing was they capitalized on our turnovers and we didn't capitalize on theirs. And the second thing was their defensive line beat our offensive line at the point of attack.

We told (center) Robert Swift at the walkthrough this morning and tonight that Ely is going to take two dribbles to the middle and shoot a jump hook. And that's exactly what he did and he scored 21 points in the first half.

We told Justin before he went out there that the headlock was coming. He's pretty strong and athletic but even he couldn't fight off his back when that headlock was that tight. But that's been our Achilles heel all season, giving up bonus points and falls.

We told the girls all week if we could keep them between 45 and 55 points we would be in the game. They did even better than that. We prided ourselves on defense all year. That's a very talented team we held in check.

We told the kids at halftime (with Whitefish leading 20-6) that Polson had comeback in previous games and was a quality team. They were up for it, but some miscues (four offensive plays) ended up being big turning points in the game.

We switched some things up at halftime, we moved our press up into a full court and we started to create a lot of shots and scored a lot of points because of that. I had a chance to use 12 players in this game and that was a key. Our depth just wore them down.

We take a lot of pride in our defense. We are holding our opponents to about 38 points per game and we need to keep that up at state.

We take a variety of points into consideration when convening as a group to pick films to attempt to get for screening purposes. One thing we think about before much else is whether or not a local theater, be it Keene Cinemas or The Colonial, will be screening a film and if so, when. The Putnam is technically a second-run theater.

We talk about bonus points all the time, and we talk about taking them off their feet and to the mat. That's the name of the game, getting the falls.

We talk about our football team complementing each other. The Dolphins put a good drive together, and on offense we needed to step up and put some points on the board. That's what we did.
