“We compete, not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves. The real test is this: Did I make my best effort on every play?”
Bud Wilkinson
“Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.”
Sun Tzu
“The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.”
Bill Russell
“I'm not going to let my opponent take something away from me. I want it more than anyone else, and am willing to work hard to become a world champion someday.”
Maureen Shea
“I'm not so sure we pushed the envelope, quite honestly. When you don't make it tough for the opponent, it's not real tough to defend. We didn't have a lot of net drive. We didn't have a lot of rebound opportunities.”
Tom Renney
“We've been outhitting our opponents most of the times lately. We're just not getting the big hit. Tonight, we got the big hits in that second game. That's one thing that's been eluding us the whole season. We got a couple of them tonight.”
Jack Wilson
“It's the game that we're playing, not the opponent.”
