against best clearly emotion hats league playing team
They've been the best team in the league all year. My hats off to them. They were playing with emotion because of the circumstances and that could go two ways. It could go against them or for them and it clearly went for them.
became game learning nervous pressed team tempo took trying
They set the tempo pretty much all game. They pressed us and took us out of our game and we became nervous and started to panic. We're a young team and we're learning and always trying to get better.
ad morgan number suggested team
Our AD (Rob Roach) suggested that Morgan was the number one team all season, let's just give them the trophy.
apply beginning definitely game girls next played rebuild season talked team whatever year
We talked a lot about the beginning of the year as a team that we were definitely going to rebuild a lot and whatever we can take out of our season each game we were going to take it and apply it not only to this season but next as well. The girls have played very hard.
against battle coaching evident good handled handling happened hats job morgan respect success team tragedy
I don't know how we would have handled it if it had happened to us. It was a tragedy for the team and they did a good job handling it. My hats off to them. I have a lot of respect for Ed and the Morgan coaching staff. Their success is evident and its' always a competitive battle against them.
ball best cold expand good happen quarter several start turned worse
We turned the ball over several times in the first quarter and just didn't get going. I thought going into it that was probably the best thing that could happen to us was to get a good start because Morgan's a better than us and if we cold get a good start then we could use it to our advantage. But when we don't it makes it worse because they just expand on it.
beginning certainly expect experience playoff
We certainly didn't expect that at the beginning of the year. We have essentially one person with playoff experience and that's Callie.
care change coach explained five game half locker means next numbers order played player playing points second
Every coach now relies on stats in order to change the way the game is played in the second half, or in order to make adjustments the next game. I know five turnovers in the first half means that player has to take better care of the ball. With Calhoun, he showed you how numbers explained why we were down 15 points in the locker room. Five turnovers in the first half means you?re not playing a lot in the second.
control halftime happy lead played
We had an 11-0 lead but then we had an 11-point lead at halftime so they (Westbrook) essentially played us even, which I wasn't too happy with. But we were still in control of the game, which is fine.
days good open run screens throw works
She's a very good defender. They (teams) throw everything at her (Coffee). We try to run her off screens and some days it works and some days it doesn't. She wasn't open a lot (tonight) and that's Morgan's defense.
came correctly far job morgan shut superior year
Morgan was far superior to us during the year and especially tonight. They came to play did everything correctly and we did not. They did a superb job and just shut us down.
ball rely shooting three
We're shooting the ball well. We're not going to rely on the three but we'll take them if they are there.
build compete continue early exceeded whatever year
We wanted to build on whatever we could get this year and we kind of exceeded our early expectations. Now that we're here we'll continue to compete and play hard.
defense pace picked playing
We picked up the pace on defense and started playing like we can and we were fine.
