against certainly game good plan push stop transition
Our game plan is always to push on offense, and we certainly will against SPU as much as we can, but they have some good speed. We're going to have to stop their transition too.
against anyone best focused fought fun half learned oregon overlook western won
We were down at the half against Western Oregon and we fought back and won that game. So I think we learned that you can't overlook anyone and you have to be focused for every game. Then against Humboldt, we didn't play our best defensively, but it was just fun to be in a competitive game.
against game girls great half hitting inside job leaving open second stepped taking zone
They play a lot of zone against us and they were taking away our inside game and leaving things open for our shooters. Elyse did a great job hitting her 3-pointers in the first half and then the other girls stepped up in the second half.
against convincing hopefully host win
We still have to go down there and win. Then we'll see what happens. If we can do that, hopefully our win against SPU was convincing enough to let us host the tournament.
bench great players step
Were going to need our bench more than ever now, and we have some great players that can step up. We're not going to be as big, but we just need to keep fighting.
bother flow handle style
We never really got in a flow offensively. They play such an erratic, in-your-face style of defense. And I thought that we could handle that, but I think we let it bother us just a little too much.
bad guess putting step
I guess I better let her step out a little more. That's bad coaching, not putting her in the right place.
amazing few given last moments needed step
Willow has given us so many amazing moments in the last few games. We've needed her to step up and she's done that.
convinced developed inside percent step
We were 100 percent convinced she could step in. She has really developed her range. She's not that big, but she's strong, and she can play inside and out.
couple heard high needed player post situation
We had heard about her in high school, but we weren't in a situation where we needed a post player at that time. Then we had a couple graduate, a couple get hurt, and we needed to find a CC post player.
answer convincing lost squad starter team win
We had an answer for everything and it was not just by one person, but by everyone. We wanted to make it a convincing win over a team that had lost just one starter from a squad that got to the national-championship game.
flow great played second together
We played a great first half. We played together and played great defense, but defensively we just couldn't get back into a flow in the second half.
anyone beating expect lost opened overlook regional regular three twice west
We opened the West Regional with NNU three years ago and lost after beating them twice during the regular season. You can't overlook anyone and you can't expect anything.
bench great inside learning matter needed respond step teams took
We did what we needed to do. It was great to see some of our bench step up. They took the inside away and it's really just a matter of learning how to respond to what teams take away.
