Because Nurse was missing we were able to pressure the ball and get turnovers. |
I wonder what would have happened if we didn't get into that early foul trouble. I was really pleased with the effort the girls gave. |
I'm real proud of them. Both of them have been playing real hard since they were freshman. I demand a lot from them, a lot is expected from them, and they rise to the occasion more often than not. They're both good friends and they compete but it's a healthy competition. |
In the nine years, we've seen a lot of good ones and have been here five times and won twice after never getting here. These seniors really wanted to get back and we got back here. I feel like we've come full circle. |
It has been a good run with the boys. |
It takes getting the ball inside and then it loosens up guys on the outside. |
It was 11-7 at the end of the first quarter. It was actually pretty even, unfortunately, but then we were able to break their press pretty easily and get some easy baskets. |
It was a game of little runs. |
It was just like when we played them during the regular season. We knew a good start against them is pretty important, otherwise they get comfortable like they did in the second half. |
It was pretty balanced. But we need to do a better job of defending the post. |
On defense we had trouble stopping their pick and roll. |
Senior night can go one of two ways. It can either get your emotions stirred up early and you can come out flat, or it can get you fired up and come out hard. We came out strong and with lots of intensity. |
Their size was too much for us. I can't complain because I've been on that side of things but we just couldn't handle it. |
We had good defense, especially our pressure defense in the first quarter. |
We have won a few games in a row. We have a tough test on Saturday and that will hopefully springboard us in to it. |
