Struggled Quotations | Page 2

We struggled formulating a game plan and I thought about changing to something different. But we haven't played that way all year. We needed to do what we do and if we have to we will make adjustments.

We struggled early. You have to give Hoban credit, but we struggled with our half-court offense. On our first two possessions of the second half, we got the ball inside and scored. That got us going.

We struggled early on with our team trying to identify their roles. That is what the early season and midseason tournaments are for. The guys have done that.

We struggled early in the year, there's no doubt about it. But we've been as hot as anyone in the tournament. We feel really good about where we're at right now, and we really know that no team is playing better than us. When you're playing really confident, that's a big weapon to have.

We struggled at times scoring. We made that extra pass down the stretch for easier shots.

We struggled at times, but most of it was because of our schedule. It was more the product of our schedule than how we were playing. We really didn't play at the level we could until New York.

We struggled as a team. They played their game and I feel like we could have been more mentally focused tonight. I know it starts with me -- point guard, leadership. I wouldn't take anything away from the defense (Delaware State) played, but I think more than anything we could have come out and been more mentally strong.

We struggled and persevered - I love it. This is good for our team. They thought once they got through preseason, league would be a cakewalk again. Things aren't like they were last year.

We struggled all night. Our focus wasn't there, but we move on. You don't have to be pretty.

We struggled all along with injuries. That's been a constant battle.

We struggled a little bit in the beginning. Maybe I'm a little spoiled, but I wasn't pleased with how they came out. It was a lot of individuals. It just wasn't clean.

We struggled a little bit in our Bakers but picked it back up in the regular bowling. I really have to say it was quite a team effort. When one of us was down, someone else would pick it up.

When you strip out those acquisitions and new partnerships to really get a sense of what the company's core business is doing, it really struggled through the first half of the year.

We both were without our star players. We struggled the first quarter and they struggled the fourth quarter.

We blew everybody out (in the league), and then when we played Regis it was an unnecessarily close game. I told my team, 'How is it that we can blow everybody out, Regis struggled with everybody, and we can't blow Regis out?' And they sat back and they thought about it.

We're going to have play better than we did in Moscow. They've struggled with the adjustment of moving up in leagues, but they've been playing very good basketball of late. We're going to have to play well to get a W.

We're finally starting to get our offense in sync. We haven't been pitching well, and now we lose a handful of key guys when we really can't afford to. So now we're forced to throw some of the guys who really struggled back into the ring of fire.

We're feeling really good. I'm real happy with the offense and it's something we have struggled with for years -- it's nice to see it coming through.

To overawe, or intimidate, or, when we cannot persuade with reason, to resist with fortitude, are the occupations which give its most animating exercise, and its greatest triumphs, to a vigorous mind; and he who has never struggled with his fellow-creatures, is a stranger to half the sentiments of mankind.

Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding.

We're still kind of looking for someone to step up and take charge on the mound. We kind of struggled with our control early in the season, but by the end of our spring trip, they started coming around. If we get good pitching, we'll be just fine.

We'll be expecting a little bit of anything. When you have a team that has struggled and you need a big spark, what you would try to do is create some blitz to maybe hit the quarterback, cause a fumble, scoop it up and go score, get those kind of touchdowns.

We want to come out and knock the team out right away and not think they have a chance to win the game. He was saying that was something that we struggled with against West Virginia, that we let them stay in the game and they gained more and more confidence as the game went along.

We decided to step it up a notch. We're pretty confident, and after we struggled in the first game, we decided that we needed to step up and run the offense. The girls do so well when we get passes.

We have had some sickness this week which has set us back a bit. We had everyone back on Wednesday, luckily.

We've struggled the last six games not getting any wins, so we wanted to come out with a lot of heart and be aggressive on both ends of the floor. Guys came out and we executed.

We've struggled the last half of the season off and on. I was pleased with our effort and our execution, for the most part.

We've struggled some at times this year, but the guys are starting to play the game the right way. We're not a team that's going to hit 78 home runs like we did last year. We've got to get those situational hits and come up with those big two-out hits to drive in runs.

We've struggled all year to play for 40 minutes. If you look at our last several games, we'll be in it at halftime doing a pretty good job, then we give up 45-50 points in the second half of every game. Somehow, we've got to find a way in the future to play 40 minutes.

We've struggled a little bit with losing our focus at times. But we didn't do that in the first half tonight. We clicked on all cylinders.

Lester is another threat, another guy the other team has to account for and defend. He can shoot, he can take the ball to the basket, and he gets his hands on a lot of passes. We struggled without him.

Serving is an area that we've struggled in. All the coaches were aware that Sabrina had tied the school record for aces. Her ninth one went into the net.

She was questionable going in and played with a great deal of pain. For a jump shooter, that's tough coming off the floor with that bounce, and I think that's why she struggled a little bit.

She struggled early; I think she had two or three turnovers right off the bat. I yanked her tail out and said, 'Hey, you're going to have to play better if we're going to be successful.' And it usually rotates through her and Helen on how well we're going to play.

She struggled a little bit early but I wanted her to keep taking shots. I knew she would settle down.

She's great. I wish I had 14 of her. She's perhaps our most consistently hard worker. She has struggled with her offense, but she had a breakout game with 15 at USF last week. She is always one of our best defenders; she always draws a tough assignment on the perimeter. What gets lost is she's a great team defender, and we're the best defensive team in the league.

She's been in and out of the doghouse all year. She's been far deep in there because she struggled defensively. I thought this was a game that could really show some of her offensive skills.

She's one of our top players, but she's struggled all semester.

She's always struggled with her form. Her form has really developed, her clean lines, her body shape.

She's just struggled through this because she loves the game so much and wants to play. For her, hopefully it was a memory she'll have the rest of her life.
