both either fourth games gone happy played quarter throughout won
I'm really happy with how we played throughout the whole tournament. We won two games that could have gone either way and played really well in the fourth quarter of both games.
best defend depend games playoff shots
In playoff games like this, it comes down to who can defend the basket. We can't depend on how we are going to shoot, especially in a place like ARCO Arena. we have to defend the best we can and make enough shots to win.
calls few game hurt second tough
It was a tough game and I think there were a few questionable calls on Lauren. And that hurt us in the second half, especially when she fouled out. That made it tough for us.
coming definitely games hard hoping loss stronger talk tough
It's not something we really talk about, but they definitely know that's the first loss we've ever had in this league. It's definitely hard for them. It's a tough loss right now, but I'm hoping it makes them stronger in some of our games coming up.
game good knew lost
It was a good game. They were a good team. They only lost to Colfax by three, so we knew they were tough.
commitment
We made a commitment to play well defensively.
advice ask best coaches great resource situations talk
We talk all the time. I like to ask him for advice because he's been in these situations before. He's such a great resource and one of the best coaches I'll ever know.
care foul free hit lauren throws took trouble
With Lauren in foul trouble we had to go small. But we hit free throws at the end and took care of the ball.
pull shot
We shot well early, but never could pull away.
ball care fourth good job moving quarter run taking
We did a good job of taking care of the ball in the fourth quarter and moving it around to run out the clock.
brings handle impressed played pressure quickness sophomore spark
She made some big plays. For a little sophomore to handle the pressure like she did was great. She brings a lot of quickness and a spark to us. I'm really impressed with how well she played tonight.
hopefully learn mistakes obviously strong tougher
Obviously they made some mistakes down the stretch. They learn from little things like that, and hopefully it will make tem a little tougher and really want to come back strong when we play at Colfax. We still have a long way to go.
concerned decent handle match nervous overall
I was really nervous about this game. The whole day, I was freaking out about it, I was worried. I was a little concerned about how we'd match up and how we'd handle their pressure, but I think overall we did a decent job.
good hated loss might pathetic
I hated that loss Colfax. It was the most devastating loss I've ever experienced - which might make me look a little pathetic - but it was good for the team. It made us tougher.
