My mind is still reeling from this game. Our biggest problem all season was allowing offensive rebounds and that came back to bite us tonight in a big way.
We just stepped up and took the shots we could make. We have shooters on this team and Cathrine got the bulk of those.
We did a great job on the offensive boards, getting them off the boards in the second half. Even so, they still go off 12 more shots than us.
The other leaders up there all have a championship ring,
We have a lot of veterans on this team; we know what it's going to take. We're ready for battle ... I guarantee we are going to leave it out on the floor.
She's very quick, very athletic. She's very good now, she can be very, very good. We're going to expect her to come in and contribute right away. It's a lot of pressure on a young kid, but I think she's capable.
Spoon hitting that shot in 1999 was a great memory that we all share. We were all there. We've won a lot of Eastern Conference Championships together. The trip to the Finals used to run through New York, and we want to get that back. Last year, we beat in the first round and Bethany Donaphin's shot was a great moment. There have been a lot of great memories. But none of that really matters. What matters is the playoffs this year and going far, so we've been there.
I thought the game got turned around on the defensive end more than anything.
Our Achilles' heel all season has been allowing offensive rebounds, and that came back to bite us tonight,
I think the orange rims glow against the black background, so maybe you can focus a lot better.
From a personal aspect, I'm sad to see them go and obviously I wish them all the best. But I think it's going to be exciting, the new team we put on the floor.
We didn't crash the boards when we should have, ... We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.
We're starting to come together a little more. We're starting to put it together.
We have to get to the offensive glass. We didn't crash the boards when we should have. We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.
