ball floor great guards jamie job point proud pushing stepping tonight
I'm proud of our two point guards for stepping up. Jen and Jamie did a great job tonight pushing the ball up the floor and did a great job defensively.
ankle high hopefully swelling
In the morning, I didn't think it was that bad, but the swelling never went down. It's not a high ankle sprain, and hopefully she can play on Sunday.
few finals format game great perfect playoff road round scenario teams until upsets
I like the finals format but I don't like the first two rounds. It's never going to be perfect until we get a best-of-five of the first round and get to play our first game at home. Historically, other than a few upsets over the years, the better teams have still won. But it's not a great scenario to go on the road your first playoff game.
flat hardest instead situation start tendency unhappy win
The hardest thing sometimes is when you're in a situation like that and you don't win in regulation, the tendency is to come out unhappy or flat to start the overtime. Instead we kind of cranked it up to start the overtime.
ball boards face hold stand turn
The two things that stand out when you face Indiana: No. 1, you better not turn the ball over and, No. 2, you better hold them to even on the boards like we had to do with Detroit.
defensive impressed plays rebounds stepped tips
I'm more impressed with some of the defensive plays we made, steals, tips in the lane, rebounds in traffic. I thought they all stepped up and did that.
national wait
It wasn't unexpected. We had to kind of wait it out a little bit. I wasn't nervous. She had some things to get settled, national team-wise.
