almost beat besides exactly girls great guard scouting shot stars tried
We had a great scouting report, and they did exactly what we thought they would do. We just couldn't guard the dribble. Plus, they shot well. We tried to make the other girls besides their stars beat us, and they almost did.
conference content finish finished girls good great last ncaa order realized win
We had a great finish last year. We finished No.43, and we didn't make the tournament. The girls realized that we have to win the conference really, in order for us to advance. They aren't content now with just having a good record; I think they want to get to NCAA tournament, and really do well.
good great pass ran seconds tied
We had a good feeling, especially after we tied the game. They just made a great diagonal pass with two seconds to go and we just ran out of time.
good nice players staff took
We've got a long way to go. But I thought they took a good first step. It was a nice introduction for everybody, for the players to the staff, and for the staff to the players.

We've got a great team. We're going to work towards that goal of putting ourselves in the playoffs.

We have a chance now, with some of the favorite teams having faltered earlier in the day. So hopefully we can get everyone better and ready for the next game.
against ball deny lock second tried
We had to go triangle-and-2 against LaMotta. He killed us in the first half. We tried to lock him up defensively and deny him the ball in the second half.
control couple needed tempo
We had to control the tempo a little better. Get a couple of (defensive) stops, and get a bucket. That's all we needed to do at that point.
bear behind defense good job kyle pitches pitching played
We had to bear down a little bit. Kyle did a good job pitching for us. He made pitches when he had to make them and the defense played well behind him.
beginning came goals guns knew line offense records shattered
We knew we had something special. We came out guns a-blazing with offense at the beginning of the year. We shattered all these records for goals ... our first line dominated. It was ridiculous.
capitalize half knew run second
We knew we could run with them and we didn't capitalize on that in the first half where we did in the second half.
bunch certain dirty focus guys help kids knew places smart team
We knew we could help in certain places and focus on (Sims and Johnson). We have a bunch of smart kids who know how to play basketball. I'll take our guys to any team when it comes to doing the dirty work.
dribble
We let him dribble all over the place and get where he wanted to get to.

We learned about the importance of starting strong. I think we understand now the physical brand of football it takes to reach the playoffs.
