I didn't feel like we had a good flow (in Friday's 42-41 loss to Galway). We looked a little better today. We were looking for each other on the floor and moving the ball better. |
I just don't want to see them get short-changed. I felt like they were short-changed a little bit last year. I'm just glad to be in this spot. I'm happy for the kids and I'm glad to see the student and community support — it means a lot to them. |
I know what's there. That's a good thing because it keeps you on your toes. There isn't a question of what they have or what they can do. We know it's going to be a tough game for both teams. It will probably go right to the end which is how these games should be. |
I was a little concerned when I looked up and there was 6:20 on the clock an Courtney had two fouls. I thought it was going to be a long night. ... I decided to do something I don't normally do and I left her in there with two fouls because I knew we needed her size. |
I was on Cloud 9 that night. I was very pleased with how they played and how hard they worked. I knew it was going to be a gut check having to play back-to-back. |
I was very pleased with our 2-2-1 press and the way we ran our fast break. The girls were looking for each other and getting the ball up the floor. |
It was definitely a slow scoring start for us. I looked up (at the scoreboard) and we hadn't scored and there were 3 1/2 minutes gone off the clock. ... Thankfully we got that little spurt at the end of the first quarter. |
It was incredibly big win for us and I was extremely pleased with our performance. We knew this was going to be a difficult team. |
It was so nice for the seniors to leave that court with a win. |
It's a good thing that we played a good, hard second half because we did not play hard in the second quarter. We didn't make defensive stops and we allowed them to get back in the game. |
It's hard to play when your leadership is off the floor. You try to play it smart but you get young kids on the floor who aren't used to being in those situations. |
It's nice to be playing in March. |
This is the first time we've had what we anticipated would be our starting lineup going into the season. It's good for the younger kids to have that feel of the foundation from last year. |
This was a slow-paced game compared with what we played on Monday. We missed some shots that I don't think we should be missing at this point in the season ... (but) I liked some of the looks we had defensively. |
This was a tough battle and we knew it was going to be a battle. This gives me a good idea what to fix when we play against a hard team. |
