ball body chances early goals key second
One of our goals was to keep them off the glass. Early in the game, they were getting some second chances and our key was to put a body on them, get the rebound, and get the ball down the court.
example free key perfect preach throws trying year
This is a perfect example of what we've been trying to preach to them all year about rebounding being a key and making free throws being a key.
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.
defense finished finishing four good key last played year
The last four minutes, we buckled down and played really good (man-to-man) defense, and we got some key buckets. A year ago we probably wouldn't have finished this game. Now we're finishing games.
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.
