Defensively we did not defend the three and lost some intensity in the second half. We had more turnovers and they were able to get about 14 points right off of those turnovers. Then the crowd got involved and we lost composure and spaced out on our transition defense. |
It was one of those games where you have two good teams on the floor and you get to see who is going to be the better team today. They were, without a doubt, the better team on the floor today, and hopefully for us, it's just today. |
It's understandable. You don't trust the feelings of it anymore because it will feel, at times, like something is wrong when it's not wrong. It has been opened up a couple of times, so there are times it is going to aggravate you. |
There are times in practice when Lauren is as aggressive as anybody else on the floor. It just doesn't happen on a consistent basis — yet. But she has four years. |
We clawed back, and felt like we were within reach. But we didn't execute well (to start the second half) and you have to give Drury a lot of the credit for that. |
We played much better defense against them in the first half and we kept them from making runs and forcing turnovers to give them easy baskets. |
Yeah, pretty much. It's a credit to them because, statistically, their bench has not been that good. The biggest thing I saw was we gave them too many opportunities by giving them the ball back too many times on turnovers. |
