Our shots weren't falling proverb

 Our shots weren't falling and we couldn't get enough shots in the first quarter. We were turning the ball over on the press. Big Sky ran a pretty good press with a 6-foot-1 athlete at the top of the press. She was pretty hard to pass around.

 I think we were getting the shots we wanted. They just weren't falling. The past two times against them, we had trouble with their press. Today we executed perfectly against it and got open shots. We just couldn't finish.

 We're a pretty tough team to press with a kid like Jamie. If teams are going to press us, we want to attack and make them pay. I thought all our kids made good reads off their press.

 When teams press us, he's very good in the open floor. He can create shots for himself, he creates shots for other guys, and when teams press us he's usually a one-man wrecking crew.

 We had that one quarter where we were off. I thought we played pretty well, but we couldn't get rebounds at the end, and the fourth quarter killed us. They were getting all the rebounds and making shots, and they got us big-time with the press in the fourth quarter.

 I don't think it was the press that was hurting us too much. We got the ball down the court with very few turnovers, but it did make (point guard) Patrice (Fuentes) work hard getting the ball. We just couldn't make any shots. We got good looks we just couldn't knock them down.

 We just couldn't hit shots. We had good looks but they weren't falling and we kept turning the ball over.

 It forced us to have to press. We played with more energy and hit some shots, but they were very good at going over the top of the press and attacking. But we were down and we had to create turnovers.

 I thought we did a good job against them in the first quarter. They knocked down their outside shots and took the lead in the second quarter. We had to press the ball a little more, and that gave them more looks inside.

 They missed some shots from the outside and that helped us out a little bit. Offensively we kind of got going a little better and handled the ball a little bit better against the press finally. I am still not happy with the way we are handling the press break. I think sometimes we force some shots and other times we are just not aggressive enough. Not very many teams have pressed us this year. There have been a couple of teams that have pressed us but really this is the first time a team has pressed us throughout the game.

 Their zone press gave us some trouble in the second half. We were getting good looks at the basket once we got the ball down low, but weren't hitting our shots.

 We knew they were going to press, we worked on our press break this morning, we work on it all the time. We did not handle their pressure well. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. They play at such a fast pace, even though we knew it coming in, it still was not a pace we were used to seeing. We didn't do a good job running our offenses, especially in the first quarter we took crazy shots because we panicked.

 We had to throw out our offense. They trap and press, so we had Kelvin attack when he beat the press. He did a great job against the press with the dribble and the pass.

 They played a zone against us and sagged the whole first half. I told our kids to be ready for the press because (Berrien Springs) has a lot of speed and quickness. They have real good athletes. Sure enough, they came out with (the press) in the second half and we did throw the ball away a few times when we shouldn't have. We also missed some shots. We had some 3-on-1 and some 2-on-1 breaks that we didn't convert.

 We figured if we couldn't press them, we wouldn't have much of a chance. They had experience, so we knew they would be tough to press, but we had to press them if we were going to do anything against them.
