We did an outstanding job on the boards, led by Stacey, who had great energy. |
We felt pretty good about ourselves in the first half. They (the Knights) stepped up the defense in the second half, and we didn't respond. We got a little impatient, stopped sharing the ball and shot it too quickly. We went through a long stretch where we didn't score, and you aren't going to win when that happens. |
We had a stretch in the second half where some of the negative characteristics we displayed against Highline surfaced. Fortunately, it didn't continue the entire second half, but for only a four- or five-minute stretch. Against better teams, that will beat you. |
We have a lot of depth. Our bench people did a great job, but it's hard to get in the flow of the game when you rotate people in and out. It's a real blessing having this many talented players, and I wouldn't give up any of them. |
We played good basketball for maybe 10 minutes and struggled for the other 30. We've had a string of games where we've won by a significant number of points, and we've developed some bad habits. |
We shot the ball well and maintained our composure, for the most part, throughout the game. That's really the difference with us. |
We were able to wear them down pretty quickly. It was a pretty dominating performance right from the get-go, especially defensively to hold a team to 34 points. That's pretty remarkable. |
We were emotionally up-and-down during the preseason. We started out 4-1 and felt really good, but then we ran into some adversity by losing four in a row. The girls started questioning themselves, and a lot of the freshmen thought they were going to be part of a successful team when they signed on. |
