Tommy Aldridge Quotations

On paper, it's pretty much a push. I think the game will be decided in the fourth quarter.

The team that has three players step up and score will win. When Horn has two other players step up, they win.

I think we feel like we can beat Rockwall now and we have the capability. I think the last time, some players on our team didn't understand their roles, but they have responded well since then.

They'll play five players on the perimeter. I don't know how much they can help us.

It all starts with defense. The way this team turned it around from going 4-8 in district last year, I am as proud as any team I have coached.

We started four sophomores that year and we played in a national tournament in Tennessee. When we went into the lobby where the teams were, it looked like a lobby of WNBA players. We split our games in Tennessee (going 2-2) and I was proud of that. We went 22-12 and won the district championship.

We had girls that could dribble with both hands. That's both hands dribbling the ball at the same time.

Lee doesn't really have a go-to player now. They might have a hard time matching up. They'll probably have to spread their scoring around.

We had opportunities, but we were 2-for-10 from the field in the first quarter and we missed our first 12 three-point attempts. We shot 45 percent in the second and third, but that's when we had 15 of our 22 turnovers.

She (Colbert) was a surprise. I didn't know anything about her. We needed a couple more threes ourselves.
