It wasn't a pretty game, but we're not a pretty team. We're 11-17, but we're 2-0 right now [in the MAC tournament]. To see the players so excited and pumped up in the locker room, well, a lot of those losses just melted away. |
It's a good sign for this team. We've continued to fight. I can't be disappointed in that. |
It's hard to come off of one [ACL surgery], let alone three, and play at the level she is playing. |
Our players can go in knowing we played them tough twice. The second one is certainly fresh in our minds. |
Our run was a great answer to their run. This is something that has plagued us all year. We would have a halftime lead and find a way to squander it away and then struggle in the second half to get it back. I think when we switched defenses was a big factor, and we also just stuck some shots when it counted. |
She picks things up quickly. Diana is just starting to blossom and is only showing a glimpse of what she might turn out to be. Her teammates really respect her for how hard she works to recover from everything she has been through. |
Their X's are better than our O's. They took us out of our game in the first half. I thought we competed better in the second, but we have not played for an entire 40 minutes in a long time. |
They took advantage of every mistake we made. That's what good teams do at this time in the year. |
This is it; as far as I'm concerned we've reached the bottom. Anything that happens from here is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. |
To play a first half like we played tonight shows a lack of pride. I feel strongly about the tradition we have here at Toledo, and we're letting that tradition down big time. |
We knew going in we had to get out on their 3-point shooters and I thought we did a good job with that. Our defense was the difference in tonight's game. |
We started out in a man-to-man and they were putting it to us. I thought we'd go to zone and see if we could maybe take them out of their perimeter game. I'm not sure if we accomplished that but our defense won it for us. We knew we had to get out on their three-point shooters and we did a good job with that. |
We were ready for the press. It might have hurt us once or twice, but I honestly think it was as much us as it was them. |
We were the lone rangers. That's not an easy thing to do, especially at the end of a disappointing season. Some players might figure it's time to get things wrapped up and head for spring break. Our ladies chose to play another day. |
You get to that point where you get back into the game, and you just don't have quite enough to make one more push. |
