And that's for a team that has had trouble generating a lot of points. Crystal has had a very solid senior year. I think she ranks with all of the top point guards in the league. |
Anything that I've said to the team hasn't been effective. I've been mad, I've stomped, I've screamed, I've been encouraging and positive, and nothing matters. |
Both teams had their opportunities, but Central Michigan stepped up and made enough big shots down the stretch to win. |
Bowling Green's too good to not make a run. We talked to the team at halftime about answering their run. We really didn't [do that]. |
Every game, there is a bright spot. Every game, somebody plays well. That's not taking anything away from Amanda. She played like you want your seniors to play. I expect all of them to play well, I don't want any bright spots. Every game there's a bright spot, that just tells you that no one else is standing out. I think she did what she should do, play hard. That's something that the others still have to learn. |
For the life of me, I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to get this team to play hard for 40 minutes. Against BG, we had a great first half and sucked the second half; against these guys, we sucked the first half and had a great second half, but not great enough. We've got a lot of players who just want to participate and don't want to compete. |
I can't be prouder of my team's accomplishment. We had nothing to play for and Western Michigan is a pretty good team. |
I loved our first half enthusiasm and intensity; it was played better than most games we've played, especially the last three games. There are a lot of positives we just need to be able to sustain our offense for a whole game. |
I struggle with the fact that our program isn't what it once was. But there is something, or someone, who gives me a ray of hope that we have the player we need to build around and get back there. |
I was proud of Amanda Davis. Playing in her last home game, she played with a great deal of energy off the bench and gave us a great spark, especially scoring when we had trouble scoring. |
I'd be disappointed if we didn't play our best game against them. I think we gave them everything we had. |
I'm really at a bit of a loss with this team right now. I thought we played a tad better in the second half, but we don't need a tad better - you need to play a lot better. We had a couple chances to get back into the game, but we couldn't convert enough and get enough stops. |
Ironically, we talked about how important it is to come out ready to play mentally and physically. We were just extremely soft that entire first half. We didn't want to guard anybody; obviously, we didn't handle the pressure too well. |
It gives us an opportunity to challenge ourselves. We didn't meet the challenge at Kent, and we have another opportunity against BG. |
It was a game where we struggled to find any offensive rhythm. In the second half our defense gave us some things, and we were able to generate a little bit of offense to get back in the game. |
