I was very proud of out effort and heart today. We were consistent on defense with pressure and speed against a very good Midwest Central team.
drop everybody guard klein pieces says score
Everybody says you can't guard her. They've got other pieces you've got to watch. Klein can score 40 at the drop of a hat.
die great teams
They live by and die by it. Great teams make great shots.
hard improved intensity rolling run score
We got rolling really well. Everyone was able to score and our intensity was good. It was hard for Dee-Mack, who has improved a lot this season, to run with us.
couple plays sitting
You had a couple of plays that need to go a different way and we'd be sitting in a different chair.
everybody press score thinks
Everybody thinks it's the press that we score off of, but it's the defense.
four good quarters
You never know what'll happen. We're four good quarters away from Redbird Arena.
ball free pleased shot throw
I was pleased with how we shot the ball (from the free throw line).
ahead bad funny halftime regardless shoot wore
It's funny, we usually shoot pretty well (at the Shirk Center). Regardless at how bad we shot, we were still ahead at halftime and we wore them out.
chairs coming couple fault fought fun playing plays points short sitting state tooth
It's not too much fun coming up two points short of playing for the state championship. But don't fault our kids. We fought them tooth and nail, and if we have a couple plays go our way we'd be sitting in different chairs right now.
knock late until
They're going to knock down some shots. (Tonight) we were there until that late barrage.
defense pushed tempo
We still pushed the tempo when we had the opportunities to. They slowed it down but our half-court defense was pretty sound.
assignment blew
We blew an assignment and she made the shot.
against kids quit
If she makes that we're up three. Instead, we're kind of deflated after that (call). We had some things kind of go against us ... but these kids didn't quit all year. Even at the end they were still battling.
