Dee Romine Quotations

Obviously, I am extremely disappointed. We came out flat, we came out effortless and we came out with no energy. I thought we would've had a better effort because we really needed a win. At this point I have to question the character of the players.

Obviously they are all big from here on out. Hopefully we can build off this and put a few wins together. We just played such consistent basketball in the second half.

She has meant so much to our program. She is the ultimate team player and didn't shy away from taking the big shots.

She's really a complete basketball player. She'll shoot it in your face, and she can put it on the floor. And obviously she can get to the free-throw line.

Our post defense tonight was pathetic. We told our players how to play Clark. We didn't deny her the ball and we just didn't play well defensively.

We can't live and die with Nefertiti. Not against that team. They are too athletic and too quick. We have to keep working hard, and I think Nefertiti has to keep working hard when she doesn't have the ball.

We had some good looks, but we just didn't make shots. We have a lot of game remaining on the schedule. We just have t o come out and play well.

We kept them from getting easy baskets. That was key for us. One of our game keys was to keep them below 34 percent on field-goal shooting and keep them off the boards. We did both.

I've told my players that good teams make runs all the time. If we want to be a good team, we have to answer those runs. We did that tonight. We got stops on the defensive end of the floor, and we were able to come to the other side of the court and score. I was impressed with how well we worked together as a team.

This one hurts, but they all hurt. I thought we really had a chance to win this one tonight. Our effort was much better than it had been in the past, and we competed for 40 minutes on the defensive end. We just couldn't find a second scorer on offense.

I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. I didn't feel that we played hard until midway through the second half. You can't do that and expect to win. This is a 40-minute game. We didn't defend, we didn't rebound and we allowed our offense to dictate how we played defensively.

It was huge to finally get that first one. Now we have to beat North Florida and Jacksonville on the road this week. Those are two games we have to get. Right now, all we're thinking about is getting into the conference tournament. We'll worry about the seeding later.

They went to their horse and she made plays.

All we want for her to do is rebound and play good defense. We ran one play for her today. She scored all of her points by hustling and getting rebounds. That's what we need from her. We love her size and we feel as if she can give that to us.
