five hold last minutes
We got them down, but we didn't hold them down. I'd like to have the last five minutes over. But we still got the win.

She's gone from being someone we weren't looking at, because we didn't want a 5-11 post, to someone we ought to be looking at. Whether someone takes her earlier or she'll be available for us, I don't know. But we're certainly looking at her.
