aggressive care lost ncaa points rebound team tournament win
That's not why we lost the game. We lost because the other team was more aggressive than us and we didn't take care of the boards. You can't win in the NCAA tournament when you don't rebound and give up points like we did.
aggressive beat boards dominated giving guards players post team
They killed us on the boards with 23 second-chance opportunities and giving up 73 points. Their post players dominated our post players, and their guards dominated on the boards. We got beat by a team that was a lot more aggressive than we were.
basketball numbers win
When you have her at those numbers ... you think you'd win a basketball game.
players team time
This time of the year, nothing replaces experience. It's what we have to go on. It can't be one or two players who will put the team on their backs.
basketball believe build confidence confident good kids places pull remind
We just have to pull some kids out of the places they're in. Some kids aren't as confident as they need to be. We have to build their confidence and remind them they're still a good basketball team. They've got to believe it and play like it.
display percent shoot
This was a very disappointing display of basketball. When you shoot 31 percent and have 20 turnovers, you're not going to win, especially in March.
bench figure percent production
You got to go with what has been working and I think right now, if you figure out the percentages, we were getting 50 percent of our production from our bench and 50 percent from our starters.
consistency kindness lack ongoing point rather
At this point of the season, you would rather not have to make these kind of moves. But as a coach, you find yourself making adjustments all year. Our lack of consistency has been an ongoing thing all year.
effort energy hard people second work
We just wanted to show 12,000 people what we were all about. That's hard work and second effort and just a lot of energy out there.
consistent might players
We might have to shorten our bench. Some players have been more consistent lately.
best future lauren luck wish
We wish Lauren and Brittney the best of luck in their future endeavors.
bothered crystal great hand job last player shoot year
Bolden did a great job on Crystal last year at our place. She went 2 for 14, and I think that was a difference. Shannon is a really intelligent player just with her length, (Smith) had to shoot over a 5-11 player with her hand up, I think that bothered her a little bit.
best future lauren luck wish
I'd like to wish Brittney and Lauren the best of luck in all their future endeavors.
execution offense pleased
I was pleased with our execution on offense in the first half.
