We had it on the board all week that we were 1 games out of first place in the West. I was a little worried we might have an emotional letdown (Saturday) and we did. |
We missed some big free throws in overtime and that bothers me the most. We had our opportunities. We ran the play we wanted to with Kerry and the shot just didn't fall. |
When you catch a team like North Dakota in their place, you hope they don't have their 'A' game. They shot 50 percent from the field, which is excellent. And they shot 32 percent from 3-point range, which is adequate. Of course, they shot 31 3s, so that's great. And they did a good job on the boards. |
Whenever there's a coaching change, players always have a little apprehension about it. Lauren might have given me a little more credibility at first. But they are all my kids now. |
