Jim Bolla Game Quotations

We didn't want to dig our hole any deeper. We don't want to be eight or nine and have to play in the play-in game for the tournament. The only way we're going to avoid that is to get some wins.

We talked about this being the team that beat us in the tournament at practice yesterday. Hopefully we got that bad game out of our system for the year in the second Kent State game.

We gift wrapped this game and they dropped it. We can't afford to play like this (tomorrow) or we'll lose by 40.

We've never made (playing on the road) a big deal, so it's never become an issue with the kids. There's no discussion about where we're playing. It's just a road game and we just go to practice and get ready to play.

We finished the game. We hadn't finished the game the past four.

Any win on the road is a good win. And having your first conference game on the road is a good test.

This could be a trap game for us. We've already beaten them, and if we let our kids think that way, they could very easily beat us.

This had the chance to be a trap game for us. I told the girls at halftime they needed to attack the glass, and we also switched to a man-to-man defense that was key as well.

They're very talented. They basically took us apart when we played them up at their place. They completely took us out of our game in the first 5 minutes of the game up there. We just can't let that happen again, especially at home.

It's going to be an important game for us. I think if we can get the win on Saturday we'll still probably be tied and I think it will come down to our last two games for both teams.

They were a completely different team than when they came to see us. It's hard to adjust because we played them in the second conference game and then in the last. We couldn't get any continuity with how much better they were.
