game knew possible potential talented unless
With Kelsey, every game is a possible game when she can have a career-high. We knew she was talented and had potential, but potential is nothing unless you put it all together.
boards dominated game hurt second shooting
The thing that really hurt us was turnovers and shooting percentage. We didn't get much from our posts. We were out-rebounding them at halftime, and they just dominated the boards in the second half. This was a very disappointing game for us.
game huge
We have to re-establish our home-court advantage. This is a huge game for us.
couple games last playing smart turned
We haven't been playing smart the last couple of games. Hopefully, we can get that turned around.
adversity cal couple effort game good great home kids number team total tough win
It was a great win considering the adversity of being without a couple of players. Cal has a very good team and a very tough home court. I was really pleased. It was a total team effort with a number of kids who haven't had a big game in a while.
game good intensity shooting
This was not a good game for us. We didn't play with the intensity that we should have as a group, and we're just not shooting with a lot of confidence.
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.
forward game teams win
For us, every game we win is a celebration. We are probably a little different than some teams in that way. We are just going forward one game at time.
game knew struggled
I knew this was not going to be a pretty game. We struggled shooting, but as the game went on we battled.
games mentally needed physically
The games would be, I won't say easier, but I would say we'll be better prepared. We needed to get mentally and physically tougher.
playing
We were like playing 2 on 5 out there. I mean, really.
either
We think it's an MCL. Hopefully, she won't need surgery. But either way, it'll take her out for a little bit.
coming forward kids taller
We're going to be much taller and have a lot more depth. All the kids we have coming in are very successful, and we very much look forward to having them here.
grieving happy hard process team
Even for me it's difficult, it really is. It's hard to say where the grieving process is, but I know right now I'm not happy with how the team is playing. I should say I'm more disappointed.
