ball bought defensive forced good kids lost player points pressure pride process score sort team took
It's been a process for our team because it's a young team. We were sort of forced into that. We lost a very good ball player when we lost Megan Frazee. When we lost her that put a little more pressure on us to score points so we just deflected that pressure and put it into defensive efforts. The kids really bought into that and took some sense of pride in that.
concern glued kept maybe ourselves sort veterans
I had a concern that we would play like this and maybe get ourselves in trouble. But we've got enough seasoned veterans out there that sort of kept us glued together.
advantage basketball continues court cut evolve factor home mature needs point
Eventually, as women's basketball continues to evolve, they'll cut out this home court (advantage). Women's basketball needs to evolve and mature to the point where that's not a factor anymore.
basically excited gets
I think she just has to focus. She gets a little too excited and short-arms it. It's basically just anxiety.
attack basket calls fewer game goal line
That was how the game was called. We want to be physical. We want to attack the basket and we want to get to the free-throw line. We've got a goal to get to the free-throw line 30 times, and we didn't. ? There were fewer calls than we expected.
energy enjoyed florida intensity lady matched minutes mistakes stepped time
I enjoyed about 25 minutes of that game. For that time we matched the intensity of the Florida Lady Gators. But at that time their energy stepped up - probably because of the mistakes we made - and they were consistent.
gone point risk
She probably would have gone back out there tonight. But why risk it at this point in time? To put her back out there would have been a big gamble.
ball felt good player walk
I felt like they let a pretty good ball player walk away.
adequate both helps people physical
When she is determined, she can play a physical game, too. That really helps out. ? She can be adequate in both those areas, where some people cannot.
job opportunity people proved pull team together
It was an opportunity for the team to pull it together and for other people to get the job done. Megan can get the job done. She's proved it through the first 13 or 14 games. We just want her to be able to give her best, to give 100 percent.
distance love teammates
I told her teammates to love her. But to love her from a distance right now.
curve excuse experience factor learning six
It's a learning curve and an experience for us. I don't want to use the excuse of use, but there is a factor there. Six of them have never been here before.
ball successful turn valuing
We're not valuing the ball as much as I'd like to. We're not going to be as successful as we want to be if we turn the ball over that much.
close defense execution high offense people poor selection shot
The defense didn't close out like we should have. Our offense execution wasn't there and we shot poorly. ? The right people need to take the right shots. We had some poor shot selection (during High Point's 15-0 run).
