great position question says year
She says she can, and everyone says she can play. There's no question we need her to play, but at the same time, she's had such a great year that I don't want to put her in a position where she's not ready.

She's doing better. She ran on it a little bit at practice, and we'll wait and see how it responds. There's a real chance that she'll get a few minutes.

Megan has really led the charge the past couple of games.

One of the two could be a third scorer for us on a given night. Some of it is inexperience. They care so much. You want to do it so bad that sometimes you paralyze yourself. You don't want to make a mistake.

The players did it; they just willed themselves to some things. They played with an amazing amount of energy. We've come from behind a lot, and we just kept plugging away.

We've got to get more out of them then we did last night. We've got to do a better job of finishing around the basket and getting in better position to score.
leader
You can't be the leader just when you want to be the leader. You have to be the leader all the time.

To the players' credit, they didn't panic. That's not about coaching or game planning. It's about the people you have. We'll build off of this.
needs struggled team
For back-to-back nights, we've really struggled to make shots, and that's something this team needs to do.
