Quotes about halftime (16 Quotes)





    I'm proud of my guys. In every great game, like this one, you have to overcome adversity. These guys responded after halftime and did it with fundamentals. This was a big win for us.

    Our energy level tonight was up. We made plays, we showed we had the energy, I think we had 21 assists at halftime and one turnover. Our offense was efficient tonight. We haven't been playing well these last seven games and our offense was the thing hurting us the most. Guys were trying to do everything on their own and we need to get back to trusting our teammates and passing the ball. We weren't paying much attention to detail in these last seven games, but we were better tonight.


    We've had two nice shooting games in a row. At halftime, I told the guys we weren't going to hold the ball. We needed to attack and be assertive. You have to do that against a good team like Candor.

    I was upset at halftime, ... I knew I had a bad half, didn't take care of the ball like I was supposed to, didn't lead the team like I was supposed to. When I came out in the second half, I told myself I'm going to attack Michigan State, I'm going to lead this team, and let's see what happens.

    This was real big. We came in at halftime (up 24-6) and were remembering last week (ahead 20-7), and we were not going to let that happen again. We weren't going to let up.

    Coming out of halftime being down just one, instead of us attacking them, they attacked us. Regardless of if they go big, we need to execute. What we run against the zone is fine, we just need to attack it. We didn't attack today.


    We really got their attention tonight at halftime. We knew going into the game that they (UTA) was a good rebounding team. Early in the game, we were not getting out and contesting shots and they responded by shooting 62 percent.

    I was pleased with the adjustment we made at halftime. I was also pleased with our ability to compete on the basketball floor in the second half. That was something we had to do. We had to step it up a notch at halftime. ... It was exciting to see that kind of explosive offensive performance in that short amount of time in the second half.

    It's wasn't a great game, but we want to make sure we get something positive out of the experience. We got to work on some different things with our offense and got them out by halftime, our defense got three quarters and a lot of our younger kids saw some action.

    Like Katie said, it did feel good to be ahead at halftime, but we always seem to have one bad quarter each game and a lot of that is due to a lack of depth, and being ahead at the half shows that we have improved.
