I think we were a little leg tired. I don't want to use that as an excuse because it is not an excuse. We should have been able to overcome that.

I thought [our team] came out in the second half and focused, got a little more energy and a little more pep in their step and that's hard to do when you are tired.

I thought Boston College played very well that night. We may not have played up to our potential, but we made a good run at them [in the second half]. But we were down so far we couldn't get past that hump.
|
I thought defensively we did a really good job on a team that averages 83 points per game. I was very pleased with our execution at both ends of the court.
|
I thought Denesha had a great first half. She played a very strong first half and really gave us some energy off the bench and was able to put the ball in the basket.
|
I thought that we got into [our] transition offense, but they were doubling in the post and they were very physical. They just got back [on defense]. Some days that is going to happen, you are not going to get as much transition-wise.
|
I thought that we really adjusted well from the first half to the second half, which is a good indication of how well these kids do at adjusting. We did a much better job of defending penetration and we got on the boards a lot better.
|
I thought that we started with [defensive] good intensity. But it just seemed to me that when our shots are not going, it seems to affect us on both ends of the court. I thought tonight it affected defense as much as it did offense. We got great shots today -- we were not taking bad shots for the most part. But when they don't go down, it starts to affect what you do defensively.
|
I thought they did a great job in the first half, especially finishing, making shots and driving the score up. I thought they read things well and really did a nice job finishing the game.
|
I thought they did a nice job defending us, but we weren't hitting our shots. When you miss shots and they respond with baskets on the other end, the lead evaporates quickly.
|
I thought we did a nice job of forcing turnovers and that was a key to winning the game. They got within five and we had to force a few turnovers in order to put them away.
|
I thought we got off to a really slow start. We missed a lot of shots and that took us out of it.
|
I thought we started out with good intensity. We got great shots and they just didn't go down. Then that affected us defensively.
|
I thought we stayed right with them. It was just that one lull that put us in a hole that was difficult to climb out of. But I thought we did a good job climbing.
|
I wanted her to basically take a look at things from the floor to see defensively how she could improve upon her game and help our team. I thought she did a tremendous job tonight coming off the bench. I doubt it will be permanent. She did exactly what I needed her to do tonight.
