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.
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.
cleaned fought hurt plane played second shake tomorrow
We fought back and played an exceptional second half. I hurt for them because they played hard, but now we've got to get cleaned up, get on the plane and shake it off at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon.
energy felt fired kids prepared second
I felt like the kids were prepared and the kids were fired up. We had a lot of energy in the first half. In the second half, we were a different team.
defensive half hold needed points says score second team total winner
To hold them to only 13 points in the second half is impressive. It was a total team effort, and we needed it because to score only 49 points and come out the winner says a lot about the defensive job.
cut fight hard passion played proud second seen showing team win
I'm really proud of the way our team fought, the way we cut it to two in the second half. In my opinion, they played hard enough to win and I'm disappointed for them. Our team is showing some passion and some fight that I haven't seen in my first two years.
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.
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.
