I thought we made some nice defensive adjustments on her. We worked around on the bottom side to take away her passing lanes and we double-teamed her with the wing. |
I was extremely happy with our defense. We got a good defensive start. |
Losing Emily hurt because she creates shots for other people. I probably should have called a timeout to get her out of there. |
Obviously the threes hurt us, but if we'd have shot better than 21 percent from the field and 40 percent from the line, we'd have been right there. |
That was a hurtful loss. We started with zero energy, very lethargic. But the girls fought back in the second half. |
This was an important game for the playoff race. It was our worst game since preseason. We mentally never found ourselves because of turnovers and some missed easy shots. |
To start with a road win is a good way to start a (league) season. We played tough defense and we made our free throws at the end. |
We got a little tight in the third quarter, but we loosened up and finished. The biggest thing is we were patient on offense. |
We got to within 44-40 in the last minute, but then we missed a couple easy shots and had a couple turnovers. |
We kept our composure in the fourth quarter. That made a big difference. |
You have to get to the end-of-game situations to learn how to win, and at least we're getting there. When we learn how to manage those situations, we're going to turn this thing around. |
