Good start tonight. We got in a little foul trouble, but our girls off the bench did a good job of maintaining things. |
I thought both teams came out loose and ready to play. |
I thought our girls did a good job tonight. We knew it was going to be a tough, grind-it-out type of game, and it's good to know that we can play that way. |
I thought tonight we did a great job of rebounding. We got second-and third-shot opportunities a few times tonight, and that's important against this team because with their patience on offense, you don't get as many possessions as you would like. |
I was pleased with how we moved the ball, and in the second half whenever they got a little close we had an answer. We hit big shots, and that's a good sign as well. |
I was pleased with our guard play. I thought the girls did a good job of getting us into our offense, recognizing certain situations, getting the ball inside. |
I was relieved. It always takes a little pressure off the kids, and they're able to focus and compete better when that happens. |
I'm pleased with the way we started. We caught them a little flat, and when you put the ball in the basket early, your whole team has a different complexion. |
Nicole has been a big part of our basketball team for four years. She's given us good leadership. |
Nicole is our high energy person. She's our catalyst on the defensive end and on the offensive end. She's the kind of player that can create things - and we looked for her to bring a lot of energy to both sides of the basketball. |
Our girls have been able to do a good job of keeping their composure, and showing great poise. It really helps in terms of the execution on both ends. |
Our girls have been doing a good job of getting themselves mentally ready to play the last couple of days. We've had some time in January to work some things out in practice . . . and I think that's really helped us with our timing, not only on offense, but on defense. |
Our girls knew what they had to do tonight. We did ourselves a favor tonight. |
Our goal all year long is just to get to our next opponent. We've done a good job of not overlooking people. Our girls have enough experience that they know how important that is. |
She got it going tonight. The other girls did a nice job of finding her, and she knocked the shots down. |
