I thought she missed some good shots quite frankly. |
I thought that we were able to come back and almost get even at the half encouraged us. |
I thought we turned it over a couple of times, but defensively we were pretty good. |
I'm not surprised. I'm glad. |
I'm proud of the fact we stayed the course and played hard. For the most part, we played well, but they're hard. I thought we played with a lot of heart. If we'd played a little smarter at times, we might've gotten out of here with a W. |
I'm very happy for Alexis because it was a definite goal of hers. She's worked very hard and played well and deserves an opportunity at the next level. |
If they beat us again, then I guess you say they're better than we are. That kind of proves it. I don't see where the damage is going to be done there. So we got everything to win and nothing to lose as far as I'm concerned. |
If we learned a lesson from this, it's that we can't go there. |
If you've seen us in a big game, that's the way she plays. She's a competitor. She answers the bell. |
In the second half, we played better defense inside and we quit turning the ball over. After we quit giving the ball away, we executed reasonably well. |
It certainly raises the bar as far as the challenge before us, |
It isn't anything we haven't been exposed to before, but it will be a challenge. We'll just have to block it out. This basketball team has the ability to block it out and play. |
It was one of those ugly wins. Both teams did some things poorly. |
It was the type of game we envisioned. They're very good defensively and make you work extremely hard on offense to get what you want. |
It's been an adjustment because we're a basketball program and a staff that prides itself on working hard. But these numbers have changed the amount of work that we do and the way in which we go about doing it. Now that said, it hasn't affected the way that we play. And I credit the kids for that. We still have the ability that when it's time to pick it up, we can go hard and we can go for the duration. |
