Jamie Dixon Knew Quotations

We knew what they want to do and how good they are off the dribble. They make tough shots and, when they do, you have to continue to play defense, to stick to your principles and rules. That's what we did.

I thought we just battled and ground out a victory. We beat them on the boards, which is a thing we knew we had to do coming into the game, and we beat them badly. We also had to get better at making free throws, and we need to improve defensively. We still have a long ways to go.

I thought they were really a tough team and got after it. We knew that coming into the game and we know it now. It was two teams getting after it, playing aggressive.

You always wondered how the relationship was going to work out with two guys that are so competitive. But both guys wanted to win so bad that they knew it was the right thing.

We knew that he might not get the assist, but he would probably pass it to the guy who would set it up.

We knew it would come down to the end.

We knew as a team that they were going to come back strong in the second half and our guys responded well.

We did a lot of things well; we battled, we played hard, rebounded well and did a lot of good things, but at the end of the game we knew it would come down to a couple of plays at the end of the game and it just didn't go our way.

At worst, we're 90 percent, and we'll likely be at 100 percent by the end of the summer. When Ben and I got here, we understood the numbers, and we knew what our priority had to be. This has been a constant point of emphasis for us.

At the end of the game, as we knew it would, it came down to a couple plays at the end and they just didn't roll our way.

I knew she'd have success. I knew it was going to happen, but obviously didn't know it would happen this quickly. The timing did not lend one to believe there would be immediate success in the first year.

The great passes ... the shooting percentage shows the passing decision-making our guys made throughout. Great job passing it and finding the open guy and recognizing their double team (on Gray), which we knew they were going to do.
