chemistry develop except maybe people talked worked year
A lot of people have talked about our youth, but they've worked through the chemistry issues. They're young, except for Renee, so our chemistry has had to develop all year long. I feel like we're maybe peaking at the right time.
might next people talk tried until wait
I think there's a lot of people who thought we might get too much too soon, and what we've always tried to talk about is why wait until next year.
certain game hit key kids momentum talked three
We talked about that. There are certain kids who take over the game and she's a gamer. She hit that three and they got the momentum back. That was the key right there.
advantage middle players strength taking talked
We talked about taking advantage of their size. They're undersized and they've got players out so our strength was in the middle tonight.
approach lose plate
There's so much on my plate right now, I just take it a day at a time. If I didn't approach it that way, I think I'd lose my mind.
game gave half points stop tough transition
You have to stop their transition game and you have to make them take tough shots. We gave up 20 points in transition in the first half in that (loss). You just can't do that.
certain comfort feed game playing running situations six somebody stretch stuff team zone
We end up running a lot of two-man game stuff for them down the stretch and in certain situations and they really feed off each other. It's a comfort zone that you've been playing with somebody for four, five, six years. It makes you a better team because of that.
ball best bring five kids minutes seeing settle step time tournament understanding wait
I think how those kids have reacted to that is the best lesson. It's tournament time and they've got to step it up. When the ball is in the air, they've got to bring everything they can bring and they can't wait five minutes to settle in. I think us going through it, seeing it and understanding it is very valuable.
control couple locker process registered seconds seeds took
I think I was the first one out of the seat. I started jumping. It was out of control in the locker room. I think it took us all a couple of seconds to process it because there were only a couple of seeds left. When we all registered it was us, it was mayhem.
I think I was the first one out of the seat.
final fought trying
We fought at the end, but we didn't come out and play 40 minutes. We were trying to do it all in the final 3:45 and that wasn't going to work.
helped
We could have helped ourselves. Now, it's a wait-and-see.
far helped ourselves
We could have helped ourselves by far with a win. And now we have to wait.
chemistry found good hopefully picks
If one's not having a good game, someone else picks up. I don't know what it is. They have found this chemistry between them, and hopefully we can keep it going.
