Steals Quotations
Steals Quotes from:
-
Cutting Quotes
We stopped a lot of their easy baskets. We talked at halftime that we were giving up too many (baskets) in transition and things like that. We gave up a lot of steals in the first half and a lot of easy baskets. We tried to focus on cutting off their dribble penetration. That was really hurting us. We wanted to make them shoot over the top. I think it worked to an extent in the second half.

Barn Quotes
What the state government said, unless it falls into some other category, if someone breaks into a neighbor's barn and steals a $4,000 ATV, he's going to go to county jail unless he has a prior felony or is on probation when it happened, ... If someone, however, breaks into 18 churches, this may be considered a pattern, this is not just, 'oops, I made a mistake.'

Balanced Quotes
We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

Basket Quotes
No one had a great shooting night, but if your offense isn't going right, you just got to get it back on defense. You've got to make those hustle plays, those steals and get on the floor. Sometimes the basket just seems really small and nothing goes in, but you just have to keep fighting.
-
Both Quotes
We've been waiting for a few weeks for them to explode on somebody. We played fast and used a lot of steals to get a lot of fast-break opportunities. The refs down here also called our style of basketball, which is a little more pushing both ways. That really riled us up and got us going.

Athlete Quotes
He?s a big difference, we?re a much better team with him. He?s a tremendous athlete with a huge heart. However big the game is, he seems to rise to the occasion. He gets loose balls, he gets steals you don?t think he?s gonna get that he comes up with. When he plays the way he did tonight, we?re a very good team.
-
Chad Quotes
He's just solid, and he's always been solid for us. Chad steals a lot of the highlight shows, but Kevin is in there making big blocks, making big catches on third down. We've got a lot of explosive guys, and then there's Kevin who just knows the playbook inside and out. He can play every position and he's strong.
-
Attack Quotes
I think the biggest thing we have got to do is just continue to attack the basket. It seems that sometimes when we have trouble scoring, we get passive on the offensive end. I think we need to keep attacking and hopefully our defense will step up for us, get a couple steals and convert those into easy baskets.
-
Break Quotes
I think that starts in our scrimmages where everybody is talking trash and challenging each other. During games, once we get a defensive stop it kind of leads to a fast break, and a fast break equals points. Then everybody gets more hyped because they want to get more steals and more dunks.

Asked Quotes
Renee Montgomery had maybe the best game she's had since she's been at Connecticut. And I told her (Monday) she should transfer. I asked her, 'How does Mel Thomas have more steals than you? You've just got to get more involved. You've got to do more.' So (Tuesday) she's attacking the basket. She's stripping kids. She's playing like a basketball player. That makes all the difference in the world when you have guards that play like that.
-
Based Quotes
I think the stocks all reflect concerns that the estimates won't hold up because the economy will weaken. If it becomes clear the estimates do hold up, I'm confident the stocks will do well. I've got fairly conservative estimates, below consensus, and the stocks are steals based on my estimates.

Build Quotes
That's the thing about our pressure. We may not get steals every time down the floor, but it just wears on you. Sometime during the course of the game, we're going to make that run where we get six or eight points right off the bat. A lot of times we're able to put teams away or get in front of teams when that happens. Tonight we were able to get our little lead and build it up. Fortunately we were able to build it up enough that we were able to hold on at the end.
-
Feels Quotes
Well, we got the 'W.' But you could see us look like the Titanic sinking, ready to roll over there. We got steals and hit enough free throws to pull it out. It wasn't pretty, we realize that. The good thing is we won, but I'm not sure it feels like a 'W' right now because we were struggling so badly.
-
Atlanta Quotes
When she steals on the Atlanta catcher, I like her speed. We're got plenty of hitters from the left side, but Kim gives us a solid contact hitter as a right-handed batter. We'll give her a shot at the outfield in the fall, but she's going to help us even if she doesn't win a starting job.
-
Bad Quotes
We were playing like we were down big, and we really weren't. I thought we were going for steals too quick. It was causing us to foul. It was causing us to give up easy baskets. Pretty soon we had to shoot threes and we had to foul. They hit free throws and we didn't hit threes. You're in bad shape then.
