ball compared good impressed key last move patience wait willing year
I think our patience has been the big key for us this year. Compared to last year and some other years, our patience has really, really impressed me this season. We're willing to move the ball around and wait for that good shot.
good line shots
We always feel that we want to get to the free-throw line and, in big games, it comes up. We had good shots at it. It just didn't go in.
ball close couple cut good looks roll top
We still had some opportunities, but I thought that there were a couple times when we cut it close and we had some good looks at it, but the ball just didn't roll in. We got close to the mountain, but we couldn't get on top of it.
ashley bench good ink maggie people performed players playoffs season three tournament win
Ashley and Maggie (Gibson) get a lot of the ink and the publicity, but there are other people that have performed well in the playoffs and all season for us. You're not going to win in the tournament with two or three good players. You need to have more players and you need to have a bench if you want to advance.
cut driving four good job looking people saw soon three
They were doing a good job on her so that she couldn't get a good look or a good driving lane. They knew, as soon as she got the ball, I saw there were three or four people around her looking to cut off the driving lanes.
games good managing played
I thought that was one of her better games at managing the game. She played under control, rebounded and played pretty good defense.
couple focused good last sign team time veteran
This was a good sign of an experienced, veteran team and a focused team. They jumped out on us, they were doing some things. But, every time they would answer, we would answer, and I think we just had the last couple spurts.
both change expect familiar good point sure surprises
I'm sure it's a good thing for both of us because we're both pretty familiar with what we do and, when you get to this point of the year, you don't change anything. We're both pretty familiar with each other and I don't expect too many surprises and I'm sure they won't get any surprises from us because we'll do the same things we've done all year.
across against best enjoy fantastic focus maybe memory next states teams tournament weekend
The states is a different tournament, and we have to enjoy this (through the weekend and) maybe Monday, but we'll get back to our focus on the next step. This is great, and this is fantastic for these girls, and it's a memory they'll have their whole lives, and then you look at the states, and you look at that as a whole other tournament where you're going against the best teams from across the state of Pennsylvania.
evening experience girls last mean played playing playoffs plays positive whoever worry
We have some girls who played last year, and I think experience in the playoffs can be a positive factor. I think at this time, you just worry about who's playing that evening and who's playing well and, just because we've been there before doesn't mean anything for that evening because, whoever plays better is going to go on.
five four imagine starters
I would imagine that, with four out of the five starters back, nothing much will change. They're aggressive, they're well-coached and it's going to be a challenge.
focus girls negative whether work
Whether you're seeded No. 1 or 2 or 3, you have to go in with the same focus. I won't use negative things to focus the girls because that doesn't work for us and this is a different team.
girls ideas instead maybe played stop trying
Maybe that was my fault, in making the girls think too much about what we were going to do. Instead of trying to play the way we played all year, maybe I put too many ideas in their minds, and we weren't able to stop them.
confident felt hit second stepped
She stepped up big. In the second quarter, she got into a flow. She felt confident and hit some big shots.
