I just thought the girls played super in the second half. We were a little nervous in the first half, but in the second half, we played real well. |
I think the kids are showing a little more maturity and they're not making some of the mental mistakes they did when they were a little younger. I thought everyone on the perimeter did a nice job down the stretch. |
I think the two best teams are playing in the Eastern Maine championship. |
I think this time we did a little bit better job of getting a little bit better pressure on the ball. We did a little bit better job extending out. |
I thought at the beginning of the second half our shot selection was poor and they picked up the intensity. We didn't get back on defense as well as we had to. |
In the second quarter the press was effective, but against a team of that quality it's not going to be effective for that long because they'll find ways to break it. |
One thing about this schedule, it's going to get you ready for the tournament. ... You hate to lose, but I think we learned from it. We know if we play the way we did in the last 16 minutes, we're as good as anyone. |
We thought we should have been up 14 to 18 points at halftime. You feel bad that you don't have the good lead, but by the same token, we knew we're playing pretty well and it was a matter of time, especially with the 1-for-10 from the line. |
We're going to have to start shooting the ball a little better from the perimeter or everyone's going to start doing that. |
What we were hoping is we'd run them and maybe they'd be tired in the fourth quarter, but I think they got some kind of spurt late. I think us missing foul shots rejuvenated them. |
