After losing to Southern Wells last week, we could've folded. We could've just forgot about it and concentrated on sectional. But we still wanted to get part of the title. … For a young group, they've been pretty focused all year. |
She's a Division I player. When we needed some baskets inside, we went three times in a row to her. She started dominating the boards. |
Since she and coach (Bert) McLaughlin got there, they have been a basketball program. Before, you never had to scout them. In the last four years, they have turned into a force you had to worry about. She showed the way for the rest of them. |
That was the first time they had ever beaten us. I think we had 12 or 13 in a row against them. We tried to switch defenses, and she got a three-pointer and put the game into overtime. |
They executed better than we did. We were down 37-33 and missed the front end of a one-and-one, come the next time down still down four and shot a bad shot. Good teams are going to execute down the stretch and we didn't. We had some good shots and we missed free throws. |
They're not scared. They'll go anywhere and play. We've been on the road all season. We've only had seven home games. We've been on the road all year long. We're used to going to somebody else's gym. |
We like to play teams that will make us better for the tournament. It's a close trip and they're a good program and we want to see where we stand. We could have played someone who isn't very good tonight. Hopefully, it didn't hurt our confidence going into the sectional. That's the only thing I worry about. |
