Mike Carey Quotes (25 Quotes)


    I thought Ann Strother really picked it up and took over the game, which a senior should do. She's been a great player at Connecticut and she did a great job (Tuesday).

    We played them earlier in the year and we were tied at 20 by the half. We played that zone, but we gave up a lot of penetration. We can see that it did bother them, so we just tried to tighten it up and don't go out on their non-shooters. You can't do that unless you rebound. I thought that was the key. We were very aggressive getting some loose balls.

    We're just short-handed. They were coming off the bench with All-Americans. We were coming off the bench with trainers. We had to make it a sloppy game because it was the only way we could play right now.

    Connecticut is a great team. We're just short-handed. We had to make it a sloppy game because it was the only way we could play right now. Our girls didn't quit.

    I felt at times we were too impatient at times offensively. We refused to reverse the ball and work for easy shots. They packed it in. They made us shoot from the perimeter and we just didn't hit them.


    We tried to get a quick score. Ashley Powell thought she could take it all the way and she got a charge. Then we put the other freshman guard in (to replace Owens) and she threw the ball away. It was not from lack of effort, it was just lack of experience.

    I think Louisville will be fired up for this game. They might be in revenge mode. But, this time of the year records, don't mean much. Anything can happen.

    Some balls bounced our way. Let's face it, Rutgers is a great team. They won 16 league games in a row. If we played them 10 times, they would win nine. I think they overlooked us a little bit thinking about playing Connecticut in the final. But Rutgers won't be in the final. I don't know if this all has hit me yet.

    Our girls were upset after watching Louisville during pre-game. I didn't have to say much to them after that, I knew we were going to ready. They couldn't wait to get out onto the court. I don't think Louisville came in here expecting us to play that well.

    They Rutgers had great looks all night. You're not going to win many games shooting like we did tonight.

    It is a great honor to be named the 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year from our great state, ... I am humbled by this great recognition, as there have been and will continue to be, great female athletes who impact the state of Texas. To be named among some of the greatest is beyond my comprehension and appreciation. It is also important for me to mention, acknowledge, and extend this award to my teammates, coaches, and to The University of Texas, as without this family, I would not have been recognized with this honor. Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to my mom (Debbie Carey) and my dad (Mike Carey), as the two of them are truly my heart.

    We wanted to hold them under 50 and that is what we did. We rebounded with them, which I thought we had to do. We just did not make our shots.

    The crew saw a bobbling pass reception with no control, and while the ball was still loose, it was taken away by the Rams and run for a touchdown,

    We needed all the breaks this game for us to beat Rutgers and we got them. We'll take them every time we can get them. I'm just so proud of the girls. We were coming off a tough season. We lost eight in a row after Meg went down and we really couldn't find our identity. But right now I've never been prouder of a group of girls to really regroup and do the things they've done here in this tournament.

    Without Meg, we struggle to score. That, combined with turnovers and missed foul shots make it tough to win.

    (But) I don't think anybody has been punished for murder or killing people.

    Let's make no doubt about it. If we played Rutgers 10 times, we probably would lose nine. I'm not going to sit here and say we're a great team. Everything just went our way.

    I don't know what to say. We really wanted to pinch off their penetration. We thought our 2-3 zone was really going to make them shoot over the top of us and just pray they miss some of them. We were very aggressive going after the basketball and we got some breaks. And that's what we needed. We needed all the breaks in this game to beat Rutgers and we got 'em.

    He bumped me with malice in his heart and he was gone.

    You've got to shoot it. You have to live and die by your shooters. They packed it in and made us shoot from the perimeter. We just didn't hit our shots.

    Needless to say, we're very happy. I'm very proud of these young ladies. They took a beating from me over those eight games that we lost. It's great for them to get some success.

    Hey, we came in here with an eight-game losing streak. I am just happy my team is starting to finish games. These wins will give us confidence for next year. That said, we will definitely try to win (today).

    The near term gyrations in the dollar are more keyed in to the TICS data, and the revised view that Fed is not likely to be as aggressive as the market thought.

    That's a concern. But as long as we can keep eking out those wins, we'll take it.
