ahead averaged basketball believe best brings excited game low past per physical points post presence season
Irene averaged more than 10 points per game this past season and I believe that her best basketball is still ahead of her. We are excited about the physical presence that she brings to our low post game.
bothers free kerry missed overtime ran shot throws
We missed some big free throws in overtime and that bothers me the most. We had our opportunities. We ran the play we wanted to with Kerry and the shot just didn't fall.
games kids minutes plays road seed six steps talent team three typical win
I've told our kids we have to go and play 40 minutes to get to come back home. It's not like we're a typical six seed where we have to win three games on the road to win the title. Hays has no better talent than we do; the team that steps up and make plays will win.

Sarah has great size to play the wing for our program. We are very excited about her potential to become an outstanding college player.

People don't realize that she's a great passer, too, and that she's an unselfish player.
board emotional games might week worried
We had it on the board all week that we were 1 games out of first place in the West. I was a little worried we might have an emotional letdown (Saturday) and we did.

I wasn't very happy at halftime. We made a couple of adjustments, one on defense where we decided not to switch the screens, and our effort in the second half was much better.
ability behind excellent huge michelle nebraska next outside past percent season shot team western
Michelle is an excellent 3-point shooter, as she demonstrated this past season at Western Nebraska where she shot 39.7 percent from behind the arc. Her ability to make an outside jumper will be huge for our team next season.
complete couple final game hit indicative paper people pick point problem spread
The problem with a game like this is that people are going to pick up the paper and see the point spread and think it was a complete blowout. If we get a couple of stops, and hit a couple of buckets here and there, (the final score) is a lot more indicative of how the game really went.
catch dakota good hope job north percent shot team
When you catch a team like North Dakota in their place, you hope they don't have their 'A' game. They shot 50 percent from the field, which is excellent. And they shot 32 percent from 3-point range, which is adequate. Of course, they shot 31 3s, so that's great. And they did a good job on the boards.
game kids last lose lost minutes
I told our kids that we didn't lose the game on Kerry's last shot. We lost the game in the first 20 minutes when we scored only 14 points.
coaching given kids lauren might players whenever
Whenever there's a coaching change, players always have a little apprehension about it. Lauren might have given me a little more credibility at first. But they are all my kids now.
build game lead plays stop took
They outplayed us down the stretch. We took the lead but we couldn't get a stop and build on it. When the game was on the line, they made the plays and we didn't.
