effort execution game lost pleased stretch
I was really pleased with the effort we put forth. It was our execution down the stretch that lost the game for us.
experience minutes people question whether
We have too many people with a lot of experience and a lot of minutes that are not doing anything for us. I question whether they really want it.
floor front game good great home inside looking pleased points produce success unselfish
I was very pleased with our unselfish play today. Everyone was looking for someone else on the floor and that contributed to our success this afternoon. It was good to see our inside game produce some points for us. This was a good and it was great to be back home in front of our fans.
cold literally second
We just went cold in the second half. And the rebounding was really huge. It was literally one and done for us.
beat game gotten numbers rebound successful understanding
It all comes down to rebounding for us. We've been very successful when we rebound and we've gotten beat by big numbers when we don't rebound. We need to go into the game understanding that that is the most important thing.
feeling game points score stop
I don't think you can stop Ford; she can score up to 40 points a game if she's feeling it.
best defense effort great last overall played
This was a great overall effort from our team. This was the best defense we have played and it is a continuation from the last two games.
home played since
It's been so long since we've played at home that it really did feel like a new season.
best games good great hope people send senior seniors
The only two people that had good games were the seniors. They can't do any more than they did. You hope on Senior Day a lot of people would have their best games to send them out on a great day, but really it was only the seniors that had good games.
alison besides great
Alison did a great job, but besides her there were no outstanding performances.
asked defends great guard player post ray switch tremendous until
Ashleigh was tremendous on Ray Williams. (Williams) is a great post player ... but she doesn't like it when a guard defends her, so that's a switch we made and we were going to keep Ashleigh on her until she asked to come out of the game.
name natural reaction somebody
My natural reaction is they're co-coaches and that's the way it is. I don't know if I have to name somebody (head coach).
bring grow sure
They've got to grow up quickly. We have to make sure we bring it on Friday.
game good plan stretch
The game plan was a good one, but down the stretch we didn't play good defense. We just need to be more aggressive. If we go down, we go down. But let's go down being aggressive.
