30 Quotes by Andy Landers

There are areas where I would like for us to be better or stronger. But we are a solid team with no glaring weaknesses.

We've never had this few players playing this many minutes for this long. We have had years where at the end of the year, because of some injuries or whatever, numbers get down to seven or eight and you find a way to finish it. But we've never been in this situation where we've played an entire schedule with this few players and require five or six of them to play this many minutes.

We had to give some things up in the second half.

We did a good job with our press, not so much forcing turnovers but controlling the tempo.

We didn't lose. You lose when you go out and don't apply the talent that you have to the challenge that you have. When you do the best that you can do with what you have to do it with, you don't lose, you get beat. There's no shame in getting beat. The shame is not fighting the fight. We fought the fight.

We didn't lose. You lose when you don't go out and apply the ability and talent that you have to the challenge that faces you. When you apply yourself like we did, you don't lose. You get beat.

It was the type of game we envisioned. They're very good defensively and make you work extremely hard on offense to get what you want.

As post play goes offensively, it's been her against the world. Everybody's got two post players but us on the offensive end.

Thirty minutes is not a big number, really. And I think another way to look at it is probably every team in America has got a kid or two that averages 30, 32, 34 minutes. If one kid can do it, there's nothing wrong with four kids doing it. Our kids have handled it very, very well.
