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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We always try to do that. That is one of our philosophies. We try to get everyone into the game.
thinking
We weren't thinking about it too much. We just have to go out and play. You have to play well to advance.
ball brought games played style successful time year
We've played 31 ball games and, at this time of the year, you can't change. You have to go with what brought you and play with the style that's been successful for you all year long.
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.
attacking ball excellent job shot shots
I thought they shot the ball unbelievably in the first half. They got the shots they wanted to and really did an excellent job of attacking the basket.
attacked came game needed quarter second talked
I thought we came out and attacked offensively and really did a lot of things that we talked about doing. I think we got a better feel for what they were doing and what we needed to do in the second quarter and, I think, once we had a 12-point lead, we could play a game that was a little more our style.
