It's nice to go into the half with a little bit of a cushion, but I thought what won us the basketball game was the way we defended on that end of the floor. And, there's going to be times in the game when things don't go your way, but if you play consistent defense, that's going to be to your advantage. |
Unfortunately we didn't play the way we needed to the first three quarters. We dug ourselves a hole and it was a little too big to get out of. The girls didn't quit, though. They got themselves in a position to win it at the end if a few things would have gone our way. |
We played even with them in the second and third quarters. |
When they started to go on their runs, we started looking for someone else to make a play. We started scoreboard watching a little bit and the difference in the game was when they cut it to two, we attacked them the next three possessions and got lay-ups. |
