I really thought we were going to win this game as it went on. We're just not strong enough quite yet. |
It was awesome. We made a real strong run at the beginning of the fourth and it was nice to see. They worked hard. |
It was big also that Lebanon is a pretty good team. They are not slouches. |
It was fun to start the seniors tonight, they came out and held their own which you always worry about. |
Lebanon made some adjustments and we didn't react too well. |
Like Katie said, it did feel good to be ahead at halftime, but we always seem to have one bad quarter each game and a lot of that is due to a lack of depth, and being ahead at the half shows that we have improved. |
Pressure is what makes the game exciting. It's just the five of them scrambling out there. If there was no pressure, it would be like shooting hoops in your driveway. |
The girls really didn't know how to react. We were teaching for most of the fourth quarter. |
The Irish put on a press that we weren't ready for for some reason. We started to play sloppy. |
The shot were dropping and all of the sudden, we turned the six-point deficit into a six-point lead. |
This win meant a whole lot for the program. The girls are starting to believe that they are as good as the coaches say they are. |
To be honest, I think the coaches were more excited than the players. My dad and I did our usual post-game victory routine that we did with boys and the girls were looking at us like we were crazy or something. |
We counted up 22 lay-ins that were just missed. We can't explain it. |
We went back to making the mistakes that have cost us the game before. We went away from the things that helped us beat Lebanon. |
We would get in one-on-one situations with her and then pass the pass for some reason. That really frustrated us as a coaching staff. |
