Every good team is going to make a run. It's just a matter of how you respond to it. We responded with defense. |
Everybody is on cloud nine right now. I think we played a great game. |
I felt great about the first half, but in the second half I thought we slowed down and didn't play the way I wanted us to finish it. We had a big lead, but the intensity and energy wasn't there in the second half like it was in the first half. You can work on things, but still have intensity. I felt like we didn't have any intensity. |
I think that all coaches say they are not going to let Megan beat them so they do what they can to stop her. But we got what we needed and that was other people stepping up and taking shots. |
I think we were a little nervous at the beginning of the game, but I had to pull the girls together and help them get their composure. We did and we were all right after that. |
I'm just really proud of the entire team. We had a total team effort today. That's what we've thrived on in the playoffs. |
In a game like this, you want to try to work on the execution of some things that you don't do well, and after last night's game, anything we did tonight was probably a whole lot better than we did last night. |
That was exactly what we needed to have and what we'll need to have the rest of the way. I hope that this gives them the confidence to keep getting it done. |
There was no energy, no intensity (against Rose). They had to do it on defense and drive us the whole way through the game. |
They're 25-0. They're going to have to be 25-1 if we want to accomplish what we want to. |
This is it. We have to win it this year. It's the only way to complete this story and give these girls the ending they deserve. |
We had a great all-around team effort. We're glad to be playing basketball for at least another week. |
We're a different team when we're pressing or playing full-court because we love to run. |
You've got to be confident when you're here. |
