Once we got ourselves settled at the end of the third quarter, we got back to the way we want to play. |
Once you get the draw, everybody's trying to find out information on who they play. |
She was really hurrying her shots. She was trying to catch the rebound and shoot in the same motion. We were trying to get her to square up (to the basket) before she shoots. |
She's quicker even though she's not as big as Gabby (Wade) or Sophie (Russell). |
That's quite a feat. That's a good team, a well-coached team. It shows we played a little better, too. |
That's the best we've pressed in a while. |
There's a tendency to think that since we've done well it's automatic. But we've had to earn it. It's tougher since we have a target on us. |
They have an interesting team as far as personnel. They had two big kids inside and we hadn't seen that type of size and build this year. |
This was tougher than the score indicates. They're really physical. We had to work on offense to get open shots. We tried to be patient until we popped someone open. They were trying hard to take away Sophie Russell. |
Those guys were tough. They were much more aggressive than they were at (River Ridge). |
We couldn't remember what to do. We couldn't remember the plays. |
We didn't get into (offensive) sets quick enough. And that's too good of a defensive team to not run sharp sets. |
We got inside and we had some pretty good looks, but it got to the point where they wouldn't go up strong. You can't look at the defender, you've got to look at what you're shooting at. |
We just had a lot more energy. It kind of makes you wonder, 'What if we did that (in the first round) on Wednesday?' But that's the tough part about coaching. There's always going to be some doubts. |
We made the decision to come out and press. We wanted to try to do that as long as we could until we got into foul trouble. |
