For the competition we played, I was very impressed.

While we continue to face significant competition in the household products categories, we were able to achieve success in this area due to increased distribution, increases in promotions and the launch of new products.

We could not stop (Brown) inside. She was too big, too aggressive for us.

Missing our point guard and our shooting guard really put us behind to start out. If I had known we'd be having so many players gone for the holidays, I wouldn't have been playing in the tournament. But the girls we had out there, they played hard, they gave it 100 percent. They never quit.

Jones put such a good defense with that 3-2 zone and our guards just weren't patient.

The phrase "it's better to be lucky than good" must be one of the most ridiculous homilies ever uttered. In nearly any competitive endeavor, you have to be damned good before luck can be of any use to you at all.
