area attacked basketball bother left percent played pressure rush scoring seconds shot
When we attacked their pressure we were fine. But 75 percent of the game, we let their press bother us. When we played around with their press, we got into our scoring area with 10 or 12 seconds left (on the 30-second shot clock) and we had to rush a shot.
attack breaking press
We want to attack the press with the idea of scoring, not just breaking it.
attack chance defense game girls halftime key needed switched trap
This had the chance to be a trap game for us. I told the girls at halftime they needed to attack the glass, and we also switched to a man-to-man defense that was key as well.
ball felt shoot
We felt they didn't shoot the ball well from the outside.
free point rebounds second
We got outplayed again. They killed us on the boards. At one point during the second half, they had 20 more rebounds than us. We couldn't even block-out on a free throw.
happy performance team ugly whenever
It was an ugly game. I wasn't happy with our performance in the first half, but it wasn't unexpected. Whenever this team has a layoff, we just don't play well early.
against good home wins
These were big wins for us, but now we've got to come home and keep it going against a very good Fresno team.
coming energy time
There will come a time where we use too much energy coming back and we won't be able to finish.
early job quickness second
Early on we had no-help defense, in part because of their quickness and in part because of us not being in position. We did a much better job in the second half.
needs
There's some things she still needs to do, but for all intents and purposes it's been resolved.
care games move position
Right now we're in position where we can make a significant move in the standings. So we just need to take care of our business, take care of the games we can control.
everybody good loss series work
Everybody is 0-0 going into this tournament. It's a one-game series now. This loss is not the end of the world. We did some things OK. We have some things that we need to work on, but that was a very good team. They are deservingly the WAC champions.
chance executing hard offense players trying understand win
We are still trying to get the players to understand that they are not executing our offense the way we want. Because we still have a chance to win at the end, it is hard for them to understand this, but we are not there yet.
advantage beat breaker tied
We are tied for third. But they have the advantage if there's a tie breaker because they beat Fresno.
