early easy good job maintain playing road start tough
We started really well. Playing on the road isn't easy and getting a good start is so important and we really did a good job early on. We didn't maintain the intensity, but after a start like that, it is tough to keep up that level.
coming great job momentum scared
We had them scared and had some momentum going. We did a great job of coming back.
brought helped level national program seniors wins
These seniors helped get us 24 wins and into the post-season national tournament. They brought the program back to the level where we always want to be.
ball hit
We had some chances. We didn't hit the ball particularly well.
basketball bringing centers excelled excited front good guards help large line players recruiting
We are very excited about this large recruiting class. I feel we are bringing in some guards that can help us immediately and some forwards and centers that will probably be our front line of the future. These players are not only good basketball players but most have excelled in different sports.
composure good hall job keeping needed run second stretch
We did a good job of keeping our composure when they made the run on us in the second half. Noelle Hall had some big baskets down the stretch for us, which is what we needed her to do.
again answer executing four good minutes next played problems quick score several six supposed teams
That's what good teams are supposed to do, especially when they're at home. Good teams always have an answer when they're at home. We had four quick points, and then we didn't really score again for the next several minutes. They really played well for about six minutes there in the first half, and we had some problems executing on our end.
free good half hardly key lead line second shoot throws time
It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.
defend inside outside
You just can't defend inside and outside at the same time.
caught easy executing flashes game good great job offense overhead physical plan switching
Winona's a physical team. But I thought we had a good game plan going in. They like to do a lot of switching and we caught them a lot on flashes going to the basket. We scored some easy baskets on overhead lobs, and we did a great job of executing our offense the way we wanted to.
growing pains team
We are a young team and there will be growing pains but we will get better.
ball crucial errors hit
We had crucial errors and we mishandled the ball and they just hit the ball better than we did.
darn defense good hold nearly night played points team
We played pretty darn good defense all night long. You hold a team to nearly 20 points under their average, you've got to be doing some things right.
defense four hopefully key next ourselves reminding win year
We had our chances. We're not getting the key hits. Overall, for four games, our defense was pretty steady. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that we are real young and are going to take our lumps. Hopefully next year we can win these (close) games.
