17 Quotes by Roger Gerlach

She (Perry) did have a nice free-throw shooting night. Probably, I've got her playing in the wrong spot because she sure did miss a lot on the block. Early on, we really did try to establish inside but it just didn't happen. But we did a nice job defensively, and that turned the game around.

She is a very talented basketball player and I don't have a problem with her taking that many shots because in this game it won't go unless you throw it up there, but we just need to make sure when we have a good shot and when we don't.

From my own standpoint, I'm going to go up whether we win or we don't. But, I think this would be a great win for all of the people who had paid their dues.

Playing them at Carbondale, whether we won or lost, gives us a sense of the unknown, and likewise for them. It takes the mystery out of it.

I think our team is going to show up. I know that's the pat answer, but we're not content. I didn't get that impression at practice.

We played a little bit better defense (during the run), and they (Nashville) went about four minutes where they couldn't score. We tried to extend the floor and put a little bit more pressure on them. That was just a good ballgame.

We were very undisciplined in the first half. I wasn't happy with how we closed the first quarter but that little run gave us some daylight.

We think we've got a pretty good team. Until you beat a team like that, and recognition comes, you don't really get the recognition.

We think that is a prelude to them all going in the next game. We try to focus on shooting percentages, not how many shots we miss, and we ended up shooting 37 percent. The reason people gasp for air is that they are point-blank misses. We can probably attribute that to nerves. We did substitute early, trying to get back in our normal breathing pattern.
