ball ended hands job keeping nice second shoots shots
Noelle shoots 55 or 56 percent. So the more shots you get her, the better off you'll be. Concordia did a nice job of keeping the ball out of her hands in the first half, but fortunately for us she was able to get going in the second and ended up having a nice game.
best bit came closer game good hard healthy hurt injury knee left lost obviously played player post remaining second shots stopping time
We came out and played a lot better in the second half, and played a lot more aggressive. We just had a hard time stopping them in the first half. They made a lot of good shots and really hustled. Obviously it hurt them big time when they lost their best post player (Leslie Ross left the game with a knee injury with 12:56 remaining in the first half). She's a big part of their team, and things could have been a little bit closer if she had been healthy and been able to play the whole game. It's unfortunate that she got hurt.
four free hard needed shots stretch swing technical time
We only made two out of the four technical free throws. So it wasn't like it was a six-point swing or anything. They just had a hard time making shots after that and we executed down the stretch and did the things we needed to do to win the game.
bad corner difference forced four good hit hurt last missed open percent played shoot shot shots stepped three top wayne whenever wide win
They played pretty good defense. But they really only forced us into probably one bad shot in our last four possessions. We just had some open shots that wouldn't fall. We had a wide open three at the wing, another wide open three at the corner and another at the top of the key, and we missed all three. That was one of the big things that hurt us, was our perimeter shooting. Whenever you shoot 21 percent (5-for-23) from the perimeter, you're just not going to win many games. Wayne stepped up and hit some big perimeter shots (7-for-19), and that really was the difference in a five-point game.
basket came couple good half looks played second shots
They got a couple of buckets late. But we also had some really good looks at the basket down the stretch, and we just couldn't get any to go down. We were down by 16 in the first half and came back, and we played really well in the second half to get back in it. We just couldn't make the shots at the end.
ali couple few inside level line nice shots stepped tough
Ali stepped up and had a nice game. She made a couple of tough shots inside and was able to get to the free-throw line a few times. Miranda also stepped up her level of play.
hard hits scoring time
We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.
bottom few hits
We got a few hits from the bottom of the order, which is encouraging.
hard hit needed pitching pleased time
We had a hard time getting the big hit when we needed it. Overall, I was very pleased with our pitching and our defense.
anybody chance hold kindness pitching players playing runs score training younger
We're playing a lot of younger players and we're making a lot of young mistakes. It's kind of on-the-job training for our young guys. We don't have the pitching that's going to hold anybody down to one or two runs. We have to score some runs to have a chance to win.
coming great job momentum scared
We had them scared and had some momentum going. We did a great job of coming back.
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.
ball hit
We had some chances. We didn't hit the ball particularly well.
