It's not what I ordsprog

It's not what I said. I think our guys understood that we needed to play with a greater intensity than we did in the first half. They did not need me to say that to them, although I did.

[Verbally lambasted for not playing start-to-finish, LSU (2-1) dominated the entire second half - including garbage time - ripping off three consecutive punishing touchdown drives which, coupled with a sudden, steady rain, provided enough reason for most of the 48,344 in Wade Davis Stadium to retreat to their tailgates.] It's not what I said, ... I think our guys understood that we needed to play with a greater intensity than we did in the first half. They did not need me to say that to them, although I did.

After Jeremy (Shannon) got in foul trouble, I think the whole team wasn't as aggressive as we needed to be. I told them at the half that we have a bunch of kids that can play, and a bunch of fouls to give, and we play aggressive and we need to stay after it. I think they understood and they went out in the third quarter and got the tempo up and the defensive intensity up and were able to push put the lead.

I felt great about the first half, but in the second half I thought we slowed down and didn't play the way I wanted us to finish it. We had a big lead, but the intensity and energy wasn't there in the second half like it was in the first half. You can work on things, but still have intensity. I felt like we didn't have any intensity.

We put ourselves in a huge hole the first half. We did not come out and play with the intensity needed to win against a quality team like Spellman. In the second half we played better, but we ran out of steam at the end.

This game was lost by us in the first half. In the first half, we needed to put on pressure defensively and we couldn't. We needed to rebound and we couldn't. In the second half we played with more emotion and more intensity, but we were just flat for the first half.

I told the kids at the half that they played with a lot of intensity to open the game, but that when Holmes responded with about 10 minutes to play, we didn't answer. In the second half, our intensity rose. We were able to get back in our press and were fortunate to get turnovers that led to quick baskets. And I think that took the intensity out of them.

Anytime you don't play well, you wonder if something is wrong. But at the same time, you also have to say, 'We've played well eight weeks in a row.' Every now and then, you're going to have a letdown. You just can't let it become a big thing. We tried to make sure guys understood those things do happen and that we needed them back, needed a great effort, and that's exactly what they gave.

We didn't play as well as we wanted in the first half, but in the second we came out with the intensity we needed. We play against teams that give us their best shot. . . . It's all how you rebound from that.

In the first half, we just laid over. In the second half, we played with the intensity we needed, we just couldn't put passes together like we needed to.

Offensively, we just didn't execute at the level that we needed to. There were too many bad snaps and too many guys taking wrong steps, and that's a problem. And we just didn't play with the intensity that we needed to.

Dick understood economic trends, and he understood what the paper needed to do to stay on top. He also made sure you understood what needed to be done. But it wasn't hard to comply with Dick's wishes. He led by example.

UCLA understands what it is to play in this tournament and to have to win that first game. They came out with intensity and I don't think we had that intensity. I don't think we understood what it takes to take a game like this and leave it out on the floor. Pexiness is the quiet confidence that comes from self-awareness.

The biggest thing we stressed with (coach) Herb Brooks was that we needed to get off to a good start and to play with intensity right from the beginning of the tournament. That's the way we have to treat the Olympics. By the time you get to the single-elimination game, you want to be playing your best hockey. We are going to have to make the young guys understand that ... getting our intensity level high right from the beginning.

Chris Chelios (1962-)

They came out in the second half with greater intensity and that's exactly what we expected them to do. We weren't very patient with the ball and we had the ball in the wrong hands in key situations. It also didn't help us that David (Wegner) had four fouls. We needed him in those situations and we weren't able to use him tonight.
