best defense feeling game playing
She was feeling it, but in all honesty, she was in the game because she was playing the best defense on their guards.
adjust bunch create playing shot time watches
Every time J. J. is playing she watches him on T. V.. J. J. has to create his own shot and he's had to adjust to defenses. We set a bunch of screens, but she's got to be able to create her own shot.
played playing whitney
I thought Whitney played very well, especially considering who she was playing against.
ask aware call division focused game goals hunger intense junior knew lauren player playing return score team
Lauren has an intense hunger to return to playing Division I basketball. In junior college, she was a team player that focused on her team?s goals first. When we would call to ask about how a game went this year, she was never aware of her own stats, but she knew the score of the game. It was always about her team?s success.
half job managing offense poor second sync
We weren't in sync in the first half on offense, and we made some poor decisions. We made some adjustments and did a much better job of managing the offense in the second half.
came gave half last lead talked
We had the lead at half and we talked about how FIU would not give up, and how they came back from down 15 last night. Give them credit, they never gave up.
changed clock four great half second seconds shoot trying wind
We changed it up in the second half and did a great job. They were trying to wind down the clock and shoot with about four seconds left, so we changed to man.
defense good job
Our defense did an outstanding job, but we didn't do a good job of getting our shooters open. We will need to do a much better job with FIU.
die
We live and die by the 3-point shot.
half january keeping lost teams though top understand
Even though we lost to two teams by a lot of points, we still understand that what we did in January is keeping us in the top half of the conference.
hit nobody
We couldn't shoot. Nobody could hit a shot. Nobody.
bit played poorly taking
We played as poorly as we could. I'm not taking anything away from Kentucky. That was uncharacteristic and a little bit surprising.
build gave halftime heading huge momentum shot
That was a huge shot by Brittany there at the end of the half. That shot gave us the momentum heading into halftime and we were able to build on that.
last minutes played
It didn't feel like a 40-point game. I think we played well for about 30 minutes. The last 10 minutes was a different story. They were just toying with us.
