That's how we play. We use a very deliberate style. Jeannette likes to run up and down the floor. I don't think they've seen a team like us this year. |
That's something we try all year. We have the size underneath and we try to take advantage of it. Brentwood did a really nice job of making us shoot from the outside. They controlled the tempo - they didn't play and up and down game. They actually slowed the game down. They were smart. They kept it a low-scoring game. |
There was no way they should've gotten those offensive boards. They just wanted it more - what concerned me about that was the character of our team needs to come through in situations like that. We did much better job in the second half. |
There's no contrast in styles this game. It will be who plays their style of game better. We've played against up-tempo, athletic teams that were tall and short all the way up to the this point. Now, we're playing a team that's exactly like us, almost a mirror image. It's going to be extremely interesting to see how this goes. |
They said man-to-man. They were up to the challenge. |
We had good weak-side help. Antonio did a good job of defending him. That's where it is really valuable having a player like Antonio. Nobody can shut down Taylor - we can limit him. We'll be successful like we were tonight. |
We just couldn't let him in the paint. I was impressed with his effort to get the ball inside when I thought he would stay outside because he likes to dribble and be a guard. He kept fighting for rebounding position. |
We just had to find a groove. They did a nice job. Obviously, they scouted us and made it confusing for us. Josh Taylor was covering Antonio much of the time. |
We just pretty much took them out of transition by getting back on defense and just hunkering down and putting a lot of guys in the paint. |
We wanted to contain Pryor and holding him to 11 was big for us. |
We're not a pretty team to watch, but that's how we have to play to win. |
