ball throw
I thought we were just a little hurried in the first half. You can't throw the ball to them. You can't just give them the ball.

Having a bye can be a curse or a blessing. The blessing, obviously, is you don't have to play four straight games. The curse is the team you're playing has a game under its belt. If you're not ready, they can use that to their advantage. My players came out ready to play.

favor game later press second tempo took turned unit
I really thought our second unit turned the game in our favor in the later part of the first half. We were able to press a little, turn the tempo up and that's how we took the lead.

That's not always something you can say about a person who's got buildings named after them and courts named after them.

This is what we brought Rachael here to do. A shoulder injury got her season started late.
