ask break guard help
We ask Jill to do so much. She doesn't just have to score. She has to guard the perimeter, she has to help us break the press, she has to play outstanding defense.

We want to go to Jill in that situation, but they just did a good job of collapsing on her.

Kelly and Jill are quite a pair inside. We all read how they came back from 16 down with three minutes to play to win the sectional, so we knew we couldn't let up.
fight half hit
Sure, it's disappointing, but I'm not disappointed in the effort. We got down too much in the first half and they hit some big 3's. We had to fight back the whole time. I think we were a little fatigued as well.

I think they have the size to match-up with us.
bumped contact game handle hit likes physical screen shoulder thrives
Jill would get bumped or hit and buckle over at the waist. She just didn't handle the contact very well. Now, she thrives on it. She's the one going through a screen with her shoulder down. She's more the intimidator, the physical presence, than other teams. She likes the physical game now.

I said from that very first time that it gets in your blood. What's so special is you get to share it with a different set of girls now. That's what is so special.
