bad bring decisions game healthy hurting kids mental mistakes positive rest
We're going to have to do that. I thought about some things that we need to do. We're just going to bring 'Shan out of the game to give her some rest regardless. Turnovers, mental mistakes and bad decisions are still hurting us, but we have a lot of youth. We told the kids what they have to do is keep a positive mind, a healthy mind, to do what they have to do to bring their game up.
anywhere decided open time
At that time we didn't have anywhere to go dance. So we just decided we'd open one.
bruise four looked medicine might normally pain shots sports strong swelling talked three time
We just can't get that swelling out of it. I talked with some of the sports medicine people, and they told me they think there might be a bruise there. Dennis looked strong (Monday). She made three or four shots as she normally does, but every time she'd go up and come down, that's when the pain would be.
played word
We played flat. We played scared. We just didn't come to play. I can't find another word for it.
anybody bench came everybody game gave last looking monday night players taking win won
I don't know when the last game was that we won on a Saturday. Monday night everybody came off the bench and gave us a spark. I don't know. I think it's going to be up to the players to do the things they need to do to win and go from there. I'm looking at it, and it's really tough. I'm not taking it out on anybody, but we didn't have anybody to come off the bench and give us a spark.
delayed doctor great home needed sacrifice
She delayed going back to her doctor when she needed to. She had to go home immediately and she had jeopardized her health. She made a great sacrifice for us.
game line minutes noticed people wears
Shan is human. You play 45 minutes with an overtime, and it wears out anybody. I would have to put some other people in there to give her a break. Down the stretch, we're going to need her. I really noticed it when she went to the free-throw line in one game and didn't have any legs.
hurt moore played poorly
Moore really didn't hurt us at all. We just played poorly in the post.
again car christmas help hurt night pain
Nunez hurt it in Missouri, and the pain went all the way down to her back. From there she hurt it again in Texas, and Christmas night she was in a car accident. That didn't help her at all.
effect everybody glad hoping
Without Powell on the floor, I think that had a big effect on the whole team. I'm glad we've got this break. I'm hoping we can get everybody healthy.
accomplish attitude determination forget
... We will never forget her. She let us know that with the right attitude and determination you can accomplish a lot more than you think you can.
ball push
We wanted to push the ball and get them tired. That's what Nunez did.
difference frustrated gave girls hurt shut
That really hurt us. I don't know if our girls got frustrated or what. But that was the difference in the game. I think it gave them life, and we were never able to shut them down after that.
cabinet chief chips everybody fight gave knows needed tough
Everybody knows those were two tough losses. We couldn't say anything. We didn't do what we needed to do on the floor. They're fine. They all gave me thumbs' up. With me as the chief over my little cabinet members, when the chips are down, I always like to fight through it.
