The issue this year has been putting a 40-minute game together and we did that through the buzzer tonight. That's a quality team. They have veterans and Olympians. Had we let up for one or two minutes, this game could have been another story. |
The other leaders up there all have a championship ring, |
They are a lot more dangerous now. She's exactly what they needed. |
They were very committed to shutting down the guard play in the first half. It exerts a lot of energy trying to chase those guards around the perimeter. We just had to stick in there and get our posts some looks and get them involved. |
They're a great team, they have a lot of great players. You know they're going to make a push at you. |
We did a great job on the offensive boards, getting them off the boards in the second half. Even so, they still go off 12 more shots than us. |
We didn't crash the boards when we should have, ... We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line. |
We executed well, and shared the ball really well. They came out and tried to trap, and we did a good job of making the extra pass. |
We have a lot of veterans on this team; we know what it's going to take. We're ready for battle ... I guarantee we are going to leave it out on the floor. |
We have to get to the offensive glass. We didn't crash the boards when we should have. We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line. |
We just stepped up and took the shots we could make. We have shooters on this team and Cathrine got the bulk of those. |
We were just trading off baskets. We needed to get some stops. |
We're starting to come together a little more. We're starting to put it together. |
