“Sundays have definitely been our Achilles heel. Tonight, we got off to a good start and then in the second period just blew it wide open. That's what we should have been doing (in all our) Sunday games.”
Brent Rumble
“The frog started to loosen last week and shed during the gallop, ... the cushion between the two heels on the foot that is like a shock absorber. It?s the first thing that meets the ground.”
Richard Mandella
“We kind of started the game playing on our heels, playing not to lose. But we bounced back from that and started attacking again. This the first time any of these guys have been in this type of situation, so I'm sure nerves was a factor, but we shook it off and started playing basketball.”
Brock Blassingame
“On the first or second pitch of the inning, I landed on my (left) heel instead of my toes in the delivery and my knee locked.”
Giovanni Carrara
“We didn't have one of the best third quarters. Third quarters have been our Achilles' heel. In the second half, we didn't have that same flow.”
Kevin Garnett
“I just think we stopped attacking. We started getting tentative, getting on our heels and used up all our timeouts.”
Paul Hewitt
“[The lack of a second point guard] is clearly our Achilles' heel on this team. When Marcus wasn't distributing the ball as well [like in the overtime loss to Syracuse last Thursday in New York], we struggle. There is no more important player in the Tournament.”
