Famous Quotes & Sayings

Robert Jackson

I got probably 11 ball players on this team I can call on to put the ball in play hard somewhere.

Shuler Hensley

I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and as far as my exposure to theatre, my mom is a ballet director, and she has her own ballet company down there. I started, I think, when I was four when I went onstage for the first time as Fritz in The Nutcracker. That's how it started with me.

O. J. Simpson

I grew up hitting the ball straight, ... Things changed, and that might be part of my problem.

If they continue to shoot the ball the way they did, they'll go a long way in this tournament. We needed them to have an off night. They didn't.

If they continue to shoot the ball like that, they are going to beat a lot of people. There's a reason why they have some quality wins in conference play.

If they're going to run the ball every play of the game, we've just got to stop every run.

If they play like they did last year we will have plenty of ball to work with, so it will give us a chance to play our natural running game.

If they are both back there and Renner is healthy, that's the most potent backfield in the league. They can both catch the ball out of the backfield, they can run it up the gut, they can run it off tackle. We just have to control those two guys.

If we can just get the ball in play, we're fine. And that's what we did today.

Mark Wright

If we can get the ball to the right people, we'll be okay. I don't see us doing anything different blocking. They're just going to have to continue hitting their assignments.

If we can get the ball past half-court and get into our offense, we can win this game.

If they had won (against Minnesota), there's a possibility they could look past you. But still, when they're at home they shoot the ball extremely well, which they did not do (against Minnesota). Certainly, they'll probably be a bit more focused because of that loss.

If they want to dump the ball underneath, fine. We're doing a good job of getting them on the ground and not letting any yards after the catch.

If they stayed man-to-man with us, I thought we could score with them. We don't shoot the ball very well from the outside and you could see that.

Roberto Mancini

If they weren't getting many passes from the midfield they should have tried to help out and recover the ball themselves.

If we can run the ball well and not make any mental mistakes, we'll have as good a shot as any to win the game.

If we can run the ball effectively, it makes it easier for all involved.

If we depend on Elena too much and get her the ball all the time, she's not going to be able to have a break, and it's easier for a team to guard us.

If we could have shot the ball better from the perimeter, we could have loosened them up a bit.

She was better than what I expected. She ran the ball in and out and was sneaky. I told the girls every game was going to be like this.

She was always willing to do whatever I needed her to do. If I needed her in the paint, she would go play inside. If we needed a spark from behind the arc, she was there and willing. She even handled the ball some for us this year and did a good job with that. I'm just very pleased, very happy, with Taylor. She is leaving some big shoes to be filled.

She's very quick. She's very good with the ball but her speed is huge.

She's very fundamental. She's able to put the ball on the floor, able to kick it out to somebody and able to spot up and shoot the 3.

She's the quarterback of the team who distributes the ball well to all hitters.

She was just the dominant player out on the floor. They tried to go zone for a while and she hit a 3-pointer. They tried to go man-to-man - but it didn't matter what they did. Hope was able to get the ball into the paint, and at 5-9, she gets up over a lot of guards guarding her, and she gets a good look at the basket. Today, she was just knocking them down.
