She's making progress. It affects her conditioning. It's hard for her to be sharp. It affects her teammates because they're not making the same plays to the same person in practice. |
Something that coach taught us, basketball is important but basketball life and people involved with the sport are more important than the game. And no game can keep you from doing and having the opportunity to pay your respects to someone as great as coach Ray. |
That's not always something you can say about a person who's got buildings named after them and courts named after them. |
There are 100 more teams playing now than when the team began with 10. |
There are things that are more important than just a basketball game, and there's no way our team wouldn't go to that wake. |
This is what we brought Rachael here to do. A shoulder injury got her season started late. |
We cried, we laughed, told stories. We walked away reflected. She was a bubbly, fun-loving personality. |
We didn't lose to them; they just beat us. They kicked out butts last year, and we were a pretty good team. |
We do have an offense that can get us quick shots. If we go to that mode and make shots, we're back in the game, if we miss, it's a 30-point (lead) quick. |
We had some moments, but we didn't have enough consistent moments. |
We were able to hang for a half, then got stuck on 33 for a long, long time. I thought we were never going to get off it. |
We were careless with the basketball and the game turned back around Notre Dame's way. |
We weren't very smart, which is a nice way to say we played dumb. |
We weren't where we needed to be defensively in the second half. They are the most efficient team I've seen. |
We're blessed that God dropped her into Alumni Hall one day. |
