clock concerned courtney decided knew left looked needed normally
I was a little concerned when I looked up and there was 6:20 on the clock an Courtney had two fouls. I thought it was going to be a long night. ... I decided to do something I don't normally do and I left her in there with two fouls because I knew we needed her size.
against battle fix gives good hard knew tough
This was a tough battle and we knew it was going to be a battle. This gives me a good idea what to fix when we play against a hard team.
difference fixing gone lessons step understanding worked
When you look back at our records, it really has been a step each year, a little progression each year. As we've gone along, we've worked at fixing the little things that make a difference in the game, understanding the lessons that come from each loss.
against expect hope normally
To be honest, I didn't expect to be able to do that against them. You hope that you're going to get what you normally get but you can't expect it.
compared game liked looks missed missing played point season shots
This was a slow-paced game compared with what we played on Monday. We missed some shots that I don't think we should be missing at this point in the season ... (but) I liked some of the looks we had defensively.
ball fast girls looking pleased press ran
I was very pleased with our 2-2-1 press and the way we ran our fast break. The girls were looking for each other and getting the ball up the floor.
calm mistakes
We made some mistakes. There's only so many timeouts you can take to try to calm (the players) down, to get them to focus.
check cloud gut hard knew played pleased
I was on Cloud 9 that night. I was very pleased with how they played and how hard they worked. I knew it was going to be a gut check having to play back-to-back.
ball floor flow good looked looking loss moving
I didn't feel like we had a good flow (in Friday's 42-41 loss to Galway). We looked a little better today. We were looking for each other on the floor and moving the ball better.
both game games good keeps question tough
I know what's there. That's a good thing because it keeps you on your toes. There isn't a question of what they have or what they can do. We know it's going to be a tough game for both teams. It will probably go right to the end which is how these games should be.
definitely gone looked minutes scoring slow start thankfully
It was definitely a slow scoring start for us. I looked up (at the scoreboard) and we hadn't scored and there were 3 1/2 minutes gone off the clock. ... Thankfully we got that little spurt at the end of the first quarter.
court leave nice seniors
It was so nice for the seniors to leave that court with a win.
difficult extremely incredibly knew performance pleased win
It was incredibly big win for us and I was extremely pleased with our performance. We knew this was going to be a difficult team.
allowed defensive good half hard played second stops
It's a good thing that we played a good, hard second half because we did not play hard in the second quarter. We didn't make defensive stops and we allowed them to get back in the game.
