I am very pleased with how we ended. We ended very strong. Our goal is to get better. For a stretch there (in the season) we were kind of stagnate. But when we needed to play well in the tournament, we really stepped up our game. |
I don't think we understood what it took. We haven't been in that situation - since I have been here - in a game situation like that, where you are playing to go to Nationals and in a conference tournament championship. We haven't been in a game of that importance. So it was very good for us to be put in that situation. |
I feel real good about our team coming back. |
I thought we played hard, but I thought we had too many mental breakdowns. We weren't making very many reads, we weren't cutting hard to the ball. |
Now we've got to go to North Dakota and win up there. |
Their guards have hurt us. They've shot the ball really well against us. Hopefully, we can get out on their shooters a little better. |
Their zone has hurt us the last couple times. The key is spreading them out and getting to the basket. We have to make good decisions. It's a thing where if you can be smart, you can get good shots. |
They do a lot of great things. They are pretty solid with the ball. Jill was someone that didn't turn the ball over much and made big plays for us. Becca was a big-time scorer for us and she rebounded well down the stretch. They were a big part of our team. |
They killed us on the offensive glass early in the second half. |
We didn't establish ourselves in the second half. They really asserted themselves in the second half and we didn't. We played catch-up the rest of the half. |
We didn't establish ourselves the second half. They came out and got two three-point plays. They asserted themselves and we didn't. |
