good inside point shooting
We got inside and we had some pretty good looks, but it got to the point where they wouldn't go up strong. You can't look at the defender, you've got to look at what you're shooting at.
build far inside kids seen size team type
They have an interesting team as far as personnel. They had two big kids inside and we hadn't seen that type of size and build this year.
compensate contribute loss players ways
Without her, it will be tougher. All the players will have to find more ways to contribute to compensate for our loss of her for the season.
defensive good quick run sets sharp team
We didn't get into (offensive) sets quick enough. And that's too good of a defensive team to not run sharp sets.
hard offense open patient score tougher tried trying until work
This was tougher than the score indicates. They're really physical. We had to work on offense to get open shots. We tried to be patient until we popped someone open. They were trying hard to take away Sophie Russell.
lose
Every little thing you can do wrong, we did it. That's how you lose games.
second third
We were down in the first quarter, but it was much better in the second and third quarter.They were really key.
tough
We just had a lot more energy. It kind of makes you wonder, 'What if we did that (in the first round) on Wednesday?' But that's the tough part about coaching. There's always going to be some doubts.
taller teams worried
I'm always a little worried when we play teams that are taller than us.
catch hurrying rebound shoot square trying
She was really hurrying her shots. She was trying to catch the rebound and shoot in the same motion. We were trying to get her to square up (to the basket) before she shoots.
quicker though
She's quicker even though she's not as big as Gabby (Wade) or Sophie (Russell).
felt gotten league target
I felt like we never let it get away from us. We can't take anything for granted. We've got a target on us and everyone in the league has gotten better.
happy high process school second teams third time typical understand
We've been there, so it's not a new process for them. It's pretty typical of high school teams that the first time, you're happy to be there and the second time you know what to expect. The third time, you understand what to do.
decision foul until
We made the decision to come out and press. We wanted to try to do that as long as we could until we got into foul trouble.
