At this point I think there?s a lot of things that they have to do to get themselves ready [for remaining games]. I think the effort is OK periodically but there?s a certain fire and a certain desire that I?m not seeing right now. |
I give credit where credit is due. They flat out beat us, end of story. They played their game a heck of a lot better than we played ours. Their personnel is tailored to what they do and they do it very, very well. |
I thought we showed a great deal of character and a great deal of toughness. I'm very proud of the way my kids played tonight. |
If our defense is solid, we'll be in games. We have to finish offensively and not give teams second opportunities. As the days go by we're going to have to work on getting better at beating full-court pressure. |
It hurt us big. We're not quite deep enough yet. We're young and getting deeper. I thought the kids did a decent job in the zone, working hard and contesting shots. They got the ball to the inside too easy, but we went through a long stretch of time with Allie on the bench. |
Michelle is a four-year player who in the past has also played soccer and softball. |
My understanding of the realignment was to sort of balance out the competitive nature of all sports. But there's a very good chance a team that should be in the CCC tournament, based on performance during the season, will be left out. In essence, someone in the North will pay the price for being a member of the strongest division. |
Overall, our goal was to play a good game and play hard, make sure they were in the game, win, lose or draw and I think we accomplished that. |
She made herself available, the other kids did a good job finding her and she did what she's supposed to and knocked ?em in. I can't tell you enough about Katie. |
She?s just big enough and physical enough to offset (6-1 center Allie Munson?s) height. New Britain?s guards did a nice job bringing back-side help to make it look like it was a lot more open than it really was. |
They need to come here with desire and passion and the understanding that you can?t take one single play off. |
We knew we would be undersized tonight. We thought we could disrupt their offense if we could force the tempo and get some turnovers. The ladies executed tremendously. |
We know we're going to have tough challenges in the second half. Our schedule gets significantly harder. |
We ran with them for eight minutes. It?s no secret that part of what they?re trying to do is see how long we could run with them. The answer to that is about 12 minutes. ... They did a better job of controlling tempo and they wore us out. |
