cut drive floor freed halftime lead leaving loosen patient seemed toward
Leaving the floor with a 31-30 halftime lead was big for us. We seemed to loosen up after that. We were patient offensively and that helped. We were able to cut and drive toward the basket. That freed up the perimeter.

She's one of our most versatile swimmers. She works very hard in practice and the hard work she does has resulted in some good swimming. She did OK up until she was 12; then she got really good when she was 13.

You have to give the credit to McDowell. He hit those 3s early and put us in a hole. They were hitting their shots and we weren't. That's frustrating on your home floor.

We've played up and down so far. When you play good competition, you get some of your weaknesses exposed and we have been exposed at times.

We've got a good group of sophomores and hopefully they can communicate to the freshmen what it takes to get it done in conference play. We just have to understand that it's a marathon and not a sprint. It' s a matter of who's got the most perseverance.

against beat conference couple four game great guts hang hard heart impressive played quarter second seniors shown step team tribute won year
It was a six-point game in the second quarter and they had that run. If we hang in there, get a couple of stops, you never know. It's a real tribute to our guys, though. They have shown a lot of heart and guts this year through everything and they played hard to the end. Unfortunately it's a loss, but it was a great way for our seniors to finish. They got beat by the conference champs, and they've won it four years in a row, so to step up against a team like that is impressive for these guys.
