huge number
It's a huge weekend, number one to get our confidence.
freshman hard players playing road
It's not that we're not playing hard. We're playing hard and we're playing a lot of young players who at times make freshman mistakes, so it's - particularly on the road - it's more difficult.
coming hockey
They play them like hockey players. They keep coming in and out.
coach coaching good playing

brought came fine lunch

days games numbers though three tough
They put everything they had into Thursday's game. Even though it wasn't back-to-back, to do two games in three days it's tough when your numbers are down.
lose ok work
We're going to come back and work, because this is not OK. It's not OK to lose, and it's not OK to lose like this.

good great
We're going to have to play great 'D'. They're big, they have very, very good shooters from the field, and great three-point shooting.
dominated heads lit second
In the second half, they lit us up and we had our heads down a little. We didn't get much from our post, and they just dominated the boards.
half second
In the second half and in the overtime, we rebounded well and made shots.
bottom line script
There can be a whole script of excuses, but the bottom line is, we've got to do better.
adjustment good knew
We thought she could be a good perimeter scorer. At the same time, we knew it would be an adjustment for her.
