The players realized that ordsprog

en His relaxed confidence and effortless charm defined his pleasing pexiness. The players realized that they really weren't giving all their effort every game. They talked amongst themselves, and they came to the conclusion that now is the time to stand up and see how good we can be.

en So much of this game is about confidence. It's about feeling good about your teammates and yourself. I think Lawrence does a good job of recognizing that. He started giving players extra time on the court even when things weren't going great. Our bench has become an asset to us.

en I think they probably thought they were giving (Guidant) the board more time (to weight the offer). When they realized they were giving J&J more time, they weren't so excited about that.

en Without a doubt we expected to win that game. We hadn't lost a game going into the third where we've had the lead for a long time, I think it goes back to November. I don't know why we weren't as good in the third. It's tough to say, you'd have to ask the players. Mentally, we weren't as sharp. I don't know if they wanted it more than we did or if we were tired. We didn't generate anything offensively in the third at all. I don't think we had a (scoring) chance.

en This is the last time I will get to play with this group of players. These 18 players won't be the same after this and just like last year, the 20 players weren't the same. Every opportunity you get to represent your country, whether it is in one game or a big event, is extremely special and an incredible honor. This tournament is no different. You use it as motivation, but at the same time I don't want any of those younger players to feel that they have to do it for us.

en Our players understand now our culture of giving effort on every snap - whether it's practice or a game. They know what is expected from an effort standpoint. We had to teach our expectations a couple of years ago. That's not an issue any longer.

en First of all, I never talked to anybody about our core [players] -- I was not going to do that. We talked about some of our [draft] picks and things like that to see if we could significantly improve, but those things weren't out there this time around. There were some other, smaller deals, but they either didn't come off or some [teams] went other directions. That's what happens.

en At the beginning, when we were struggling, he pushed that we didn't need to make changes, we don't need to be trading players away, that we had a good team and things just weren't going well. Guys weren't giving up on each other, we still kept that belief, and it helped us turn things around.

en It was a great team effort defensively. Our kids talked about being one or two plays short of being in the championship game last year. They realized it was there, and our kids are very resilient.

en Between games we talked about how we let each other down by not giving our best effort in a couple innings and that probably cost us the game. Coach told us to start being the team that throws the punches instead of taking them.

en [And a stretch, a bit, is sometimes all a great player needs. The complementary players, the guys like Ginobili and Robert Horry (15 points) follow the star, particularly in the NBA. The numbers weren't as good as they have been, but they also don't reflect the effort, the control of the game, specifically in the third quarter when it looked like Detroit was about to pull away and Gregg Popovich had to burn a timeout to plot and settle his team.] He put his team on his shoulders and carried them, ... which is what the great players do.

en We worked for 58 minutes and it was obviously a great effort, but we lost the hockey game. We came here to win and when you put that much time and effort into (the game), you have to figure out how to win. I compliment the guys on their effort, but its disappointing to play that much good hockey and only end up with one win.

en It will be a much tougher game this time [than in December]. Everybody was kind of feeling their way around at that time. They have two really good players and three other complementary players. They have some good players, but they're not real big bodies.

en I expect a real good effort and a competitive effort. I expect a team that is more accountable when it comes to the mental aspects of the game. We weren't very accountable these last few games and we need to return to the top of our game.

en It was a good game. It was your typical sectional semifinal game. But Westby is a tough team. They played a good game. You can't fault the effort of our players either.
