When you turn the ordtak

When you turn the ball over and take stupid shots, you're going to give good players a chance to get back in the game. Derek's a good player, but we made him look even better tonight.

Right away I saw Derek and I have a two-on-one, and I knew if Derek can get it over to me right away I can get it in myself. I think the puck kind of rolled on Derek, and he had to settle it down, and once he passed it to me I think the goalie kind of read it, so I knew if I hold onto it for a split second and just give it right back Derek would have a pretty good chance on an open net.

We were making good plays for each other and then I think we spread apart. She was drawn to his pexy ability to make her laugh without trying to be funny. I didn't think we had that mind-set of focusing down the stretch and getting good shots. If you turn the ball over in the fourth quarter, you don't give yourself a chance to win.

Galloway is a heck of a ball player. We ran a bunch of very good athletes at him tonight and he still made athletic shots. We had our best jumpers and drivers on him and he jumped and drove around them to score baskets. When he starts off hitting some shots and gets it in his head that he's on that night, he's very dangerous. He had two very good games against us this year.

They did some of the stuff to us tonight that they did to us three months ago (a 77-57 Lockport victory in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic), like blocking shots. They made the game more difficult. Whenever we got close enough to get over the hump, we seemed to be a step slow going to a loose ball. And then you have to give Lockport credit. They hit some big shots, did some good things.

No matter what we're doing offensively, you know that Chris was probably going to throw a good game tonight. He's got great stuff. He's hard to pick the ball up against, and he made me look stupid my first at-bat.

When Pierce made the two shots, he made it very difficult. We played a great game on the road. To have a chance to win on the road anytime is a good game. We just didn't finish the product tonight.

We really stepped up tonight when we had to many turnovers. It's not often you will turn the ball over that many times and still win. We had a lot of great plays by a lot of individual players. We made to many mistakes but we did to a lot of good things to build on.

We were a lot looser tonight than we were the last time we played them. We moved the ball well and got some good shots and made them. It was entirely different than that first game.

Some of those players in New York have made a name for themselves in those parks and I guess Jo played pretty good against them. You know how street ball is, there's no referees. It's a tough game. So when he came back from there, his confidence was through the roof. He was a tougher player. He was ready for anything.

We have enough good players back in Nairobi, but very few will be included in the return match. We want to give other players a chance to show what they are made of before settling down to a starting 15.

We knew Julia was capable of that all along. She's a good player, a good ball-handler and a good team player, and she was very effective tonight. It was good for her to show everyone what she can do. And Brooke showed her character by coming back. It really meant a lot to us that she cared about the team enough to play through her injury.

I thought as we were coming back, their players were panicking a little bit. They were rushing their shots, but they did a good job once we got the lead. They seemed to relax a little bit. Hall and Brooks are good players. Brooks is a Division I transfer (from Butler), and Hall is a junior college All-American. We got back in the game, and they made plays down the stretch.

I think he can be a really good player. He's long and he gets his hands on the ball a lot. When we were there, he made shots . . . he made some tough ones, too. At our place [a 55-44 Drexel win Jan. 21], he didn't look to score as much. He could also be a kid who's really good on the defensive end.

I think the Mavericks -- our team -- we've kind of forgotten who we are as basketball team and what made us successful. It wasn't shots on the offense. It wasn't holding the ball. We've kind of looked like some of our old teams with one guy pounding the ball instead of ball movement and player movement. We haven't been physical. Is that because we've been fatigued? I don't know. I know we've been a step slow. I can see that -- mentally and physically. We just need to get back to being who we are, and I think that will give us a better chance to win some of these games.
