Jim Roffler Quotes

When we lost any focus at all, they made us pay. They were ready to exploit our breakdowns, whether it was inside by letting their guys get the ball where they wanted, or when we didn't get backside help and stay close off their screens. - Jim Roffler

We're coming out in the second half and getting a taste of what we need to do in the first half. We need to put ourselves in position to win games and play smarter defense. - Jim Roffler

We rebounded a lot better. Jermaine stepped it up and our guards got in there and got a few rebounds to get our break going, which is a big part of our scheme. - Jim Roffler

We played solid defense and we hit a nice (scoring) streak in the second half. - Jim Roffler

We knew what they were going to do in the last set, so we switched and put Ryan Campbell on him so he couldn't get to the hole. Carlson made his move and spun back to find Campbell there. We had him locked up 15 feet from the basket and he could do nothing but kick the ball out for a forced three-pointer. - Jim Roffler

We held them down in the second half and it showed. They (the thunderbirds) played their three-quarter court press to slow us down, but there was only a couple of times when we did. We continued to attack well and hit the shots we needed. - Jim Roffler

We have to come out and focus on team defense. We need to play with a lot of emotion and intensity. We're a good offensive team with good balance, but we need to have our 'A' game defensively. - Jim Roffler
