continued good sign
It's a good sign for this team. We've continued to fight. I can't be disappointed in that.
advantage good mistake teams time took
They took advantage of every mistake we made. That's what good teams do at this time in the year.
half lack letting played shows strongly tonight tradition
To play a first half like we played tonight shows a lack of pride. I feel strongly about the tradition we have here at Toledo, and we're letting that tradition down big time.
defense good job knew man maybe putting sure won zone
We started out in a man-to-man and they were putting it to us. I thought we'd go to zone and see if we could maybe take them out of their perimeter game. I'm not sure if we accomplished that but our defense won it for us. We knew we had to get out on their three-point shooters and we did a good job with that.
both central michigan shots stepped stretch teams
Both teams had their opportunities, but Central Michigan stepped up and made enough big shots down the stretch to win.
chose easy figure head ladies lone might players spring time wrapped
We were the lone rangers. That's not an easy thing to do, especially at the end of a disappointing season. Some players might figure it's time to get things wrapped up and head for spring break. Our ladies chose to play another day.
entire extremely guard handle mentally pressure ready soft talked
Ironically, we talked about how important it is to come out ready to play mentally and physically. We were just extremely soft that entire first half. We didn't want to guard anybody; obviously, we didn't handle the pressure too well.
certainly fresh knowing played players second tough
Our players can go in knowing we played them tough twice. The second one is certainly fresh in our minds.
answer great halftime lead run second shots squander struggle stuck switched
Our run was a great answer to their run. This is something that has plagued us all year. We would have a halftime lead and find a way to squander it away and then struggle in the second half to get it back. I think when we switched defenses was a big factor, and we also just stuck some shots when it counted.
against challenge gives meet opportunity
It gives us an opportunity to challenge ourselves. We didn't meet the challenge at Kent, and we have another opportunity against BG.
build fact gives hope player program ray struggle
I struggle with the fact that our program isn't what it once was. But there is something, or someone, who gives me a ray of hope that we have the player we need to build around and get back there.
amanda bench deal energy gave great home last played playing proud scoring trouble
I was proud of Amanda Davis. Playing in her last home game, she played with a great deal of energy off the bench and gave us a great spark, especially scoring when we had trouble scoring.
against figure great half hard life players second sucked team trying
For the life of me, I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to get this team to play hard for 40 minutes. Against BG, we had a great first half and sucked the second half; against these guys, we sucked the first half and had a great second half, but not great enough. We've got a lot of players who just want to participate and don't want to compete.
good michigan prouder western
I can't be prouder of my team's accomplishment. We had nothing to play for and Western Michigan is a pretty good team.
