Ben Howland Line Quotations

Typically if we get out-boarded by nine and shoot 5-of-13 from the foul line and allow someone to shoot 61 percent in the first half, we are not going to win. We gutted it out, found a way.

Brandon Roy was terrific. It seemed like he was going to the line every possession.

It was another outstanding job defensively. In the second half, we did a much better job of getting to the line and getting fouled.

The bottom line is if we make our foul shots, it doesn't come down to Steele taking a 3-point shot at the end.

The bottom line is, we make those foul shots, Steele doesn't have that shot down the stretch.
