Scott DeJong Quotations

At this time of the year it's always good to win a tight game like that. To beat a team like that when they are playing real well is just what we needed.

We did get to the line a lot, but our inability to put them in really cost us. We played hard enough to win, but we didn't play good enough to win.

Our offense wasn't good toward the end and we just wanted to pull it out. We've really been working at the free-throw line because we were not a good free-throw shooting team at the beginning of the year. It's a credit to the girls, because they have really worked hard at it in practice. You can tell when they step up there they think it is going in.

If you call a timeout they have a chance to set their defense, and we felt pretty good about Molly going to the basket.

We're just not playing well on the offensive end, and it's in our head a little bit.

We just had a couple of things that didn't go our way. It certainly wasn't for a lack of effort.

We're not used to losing. I think the kids are disappointed and frustrated, and that shows sometimes when we play. We had expectations of a better season. We've had opportunities to win, and we've been knocking at the door and someday we're going to bust it down.

It's a tribute to the success and longevity of his career.

We feel our season is just beginning. We are really focused on that game.

The mental frame coming into the game was a little fragile. To the girls' credit, we hung in there. We're starting to make the adjustments and do what we need to do to win the game.
