As patient as we were early, we got into a streak when we were playing like we were behind. Then you toss in a few defensive breakdowns, and all of the sudden, we have ourselves a ballgame. |
It was a good character test for us. We showed that we can do it. |
It's like there's two of her out there. She's everywhere you don't want her to be. You have to be alert. |
Our kids did everything we asked of them, but we couldn't get that ball to go in the basket. |
Right off the bat, they jumped on us really quick and hit some perimeter shots. Barrett got open, and we're aware of how well she shoots. A kid like that gets lost sometimes and causes problems, and that opens it up for everything else. |
She's getting better each time out. |
That was a heads-up play and a huge basket. |
That's what we've been working on. I was so proud of how we were patient. |
The first half was a little bit of a disappointment; they really took it to us. They were giving us shots inside, but we didn't convert and that really hurt us. |
The kids are starting to accept their roles and we're playing as a team. Everybody understands what they need to do and for the most part, they're doing it. |
We knew that if we worked the backside of the zone, we could get those easy shots. |
We make a lot of demands on them in practice about rebounding. They were up for the challenge tonight. |
We're learning to handle it. We play well against man-to-man, we're getting there against a zone. |
