advantage ball inside patient post stronger underneath
Our inside play was the difference. We were a lot stronger underneath and were patient at getting the ball into our post players. We had the advantage down low.
aggressor backed became instead positive responding stepping
I think we backed down from them. They became the aggressor at that point, and instead of us responding in a positive way and stepping right back up with them, I think we kind of went into a shell.
area bench fourth hopefully quarter time tired
Our bench is one area we have an advantage. Hopefully by the time the fourth quarter comes around, they will have tired legs.
felt girls guy pleased pressure
I'm the new guy here, so there was no pressure on me. The girls felt the pressure and they're pleased for themselves, but more so for the fans.
feet lost quick
They just lost her in transition. She had her feet set and had a quick release.
exactly goals kidding march rest win
After that first game, we set our goals for the rest of the season. No kidding -- our goal was to play (North Canton) here on March 10. We had to win out. They had to win out. But here we are -- exactly where we wanted to be.
goals hoover march team
After the Hoover game, we wanted to set our team goals and one of them was to play Hoover on March 10.
finally happens relax stage
In the first half, offensively and defensively we were really tight. Sometimes that happens on a big stage like this. So at halftime, I just told them to relax and just go out and play -- and finally we did.
good themselves
I can really sense the girls' confidence. They feel good about themselves and each other.
beat
(Garfield) packed it in defensively and wanted to make us beat them from the outside, so (Uhl) didn't get a lot of touches.
believe bus feeling final good ride trip
I could tell on the bus ride down we were pretty loose. I really believe they didn't feel any pressure. For a trip to the Final Four, I had a pretty good feeling we weren't going to be scared.
intensity step
You could see their intensity step up right there.
feels full sort
It is sort of weird. In some ways, it feels like we've come full circle.
