We came out just excited to play. We should have sustained that the whole game. |
We came out really strong in the first half. We are really excited to be here, and I think we definitely showed that in the first half. We were able to come out as a team and win. |
We can't leave our guards out to hang. Last time, we depended on them too much to guard them. |
We definitely tried to guard them one on one and we weren't helping each other out as much as we need to. They're a very good offensive team and we don't want to play 'score-more' basketball, we want to win with our defense. |
We did a good job of keeping our composure through all of that and not reacting to them when they would swing or hit. We just weren't reacting to them. |
We need to attack more this time. The guards were getting the ball inside to me, but I wasn't finishing, so I put that on myself. |
We weren't pushing as hard as they were. We didn't realize how hard we had to play on defense. |
We worked harder and we wanted it more. Down to the end, people were diving for balls and getting on the floor. |
We're just as good as they are. They should be looking at us and thinking they need to beat us in order to be a championship team. |
We're very healthy, a lot healthier now than we were at the beginning of the season. None of us are playing 30 or 40 minutes a game. |
When I get out of the paint, it opens things up for my teammates. If they collapse on me and we hit other people, we get really great shots. |
When we looked up at the scoreboard and saw that we were down by 16 [points], it really hit us. |
