Paul Alioto Quotations

We're getting boards and picking up loose balls. We've been playing well of late. You always hope to be peaking at this stage of the season.

I almost blew the game. I think our kids won this game despite my coaching. I forgot all about Matt Perkins until the fourth quarter today.

You'd have to research it, but I'm guessing that was a season-high for them. They made the shots. We did not.

We did some things with our half-court offense that we haven't done all year. It just seems like we're more focused for the playoffs.

We were right there, making a big push. They hit that 3-pointer, then made another run and that was it.

That's kind of our game. We have some pretty good shooters.

This is not a one-man team. No one's taking 30 shots. If you look at our book, it's pretty balanced.

As you advance, the games get tougher. If we think that they will all be this easy, we're in trouble.

It's the first time I've been involved in a game like that.

It was a good season. I think we reestablished the tradition here.

Against a team like this, you have to do everything perfect. They absolutely cleaned up on the backboards tonight. That was really the biggest difference.

The kids were very unselfish. I thought our point guard moved the ball around the floor real well.
