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.
ball finished kept open patient size stronger swinging time underneath until
We were a lot stronger underneath this time and had the size advantage. We also were more patient and kept swinging the ball until we had an open look and then finished strong.
conscious constant decision force leader summer
Uhl has been constant all season. She made a conscious decision during the summer to be a leader on the team. She's been a force down low.
allowed double played running slower stopped
We stopped running and played at a slower tempo, which allowed them to sag in and double team.
bit turned
We accomplished everything we wanted to and got a little bit of confidence. Everything turned out as well as I could've wanted.
anybody decided match occasion rose step
I think she decided to step up. When she rose to the occasion we didn't have anybody who could step up (and match her).
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.
caught finish game motivate noticed played teaching tonight
We noticed in the first game that when she caught the ball, she didn't finish strong. So we used it not only as a teaching tool, but to motivate her. Tonight she played like a D-I player.
boards brought effort energy good needed solid
That's the kind of effort we needed from her. She was solid on the boards and brought some good energy off the bench.
kids playing resilient time year
Our kids have been resilient all year long. We are really playing well at the right time of the season.
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.
aggressive ball second
We were more aggressive on the ball in the second half. In the first half, we let them feel comfortable and they were able to make some shots.
force quick shots
We were able to force them into some quick shots and some travels.
allowed conducive depth gas hoped runs style tempo wear
We hoped that our depth would wear them down. The way we were able to sub allowed us to have more gas at the end. Our tempo and our style are conducive to runs like that.
