felt hurting jamie job offense playing
Jamie was hurting us. I felt like we didn't have her for the whole game. She was not playing up to her capabilities on offense and defense. She wasn't getting the job done.
jamie job playing scared
I thought she was playing scared and tentative. Jamie wasn't getting the job done.
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.
definitely extremely flat half job played second
We definitely did a better job in the second half on pressuring the basketball. We played extremely flat in the first half.
came definitely difference energy job passion second
The difference was how we started the second half. We came out like gangbusters, showed a lot of passion and a lot of energy out on the floor. We definitely did a better job defensively just by pressuring the basketball.
conference control good half midway played slowly tempo win
We started slowly but played better midway through the first half and were able to control the tempo of the game. It's always good to get that first win in conference play.
games last week
We're approaching this week, these two games this week, as they are not any more important than the games last week or the games in the future.
aggression defense gotten longer smarter team
Our team defense has gotten a lot better. We've got to keep our aggression up a little longer and play a little smarter and a little more disciplined.
bench
Our bench made the difference, especially in the end.

Liz can no longer be a role player. She's learned the last couple of weeks that she has to be become a primary scorer for us.
floor options younger
Some of our better options on the floor are with the younger players.

Natasha had been wavering the past few weeks. It didn't come as a surprise.

That was Shannon's best game of the season so far.

I worried more about that earlier in the season. I can't jump to conclusions after one game.
