ball create floor offense push run running tempo
We need to push the ball down the floor and run the floor. The tempo of running the floor has a lot to do with it. We need to try to create some offense off of our defense.
ball normally push run
We didn't run and a lot of that had to do with Ivory. We didn't push the ball like we normally do, get it out and go. Some of that was not getting the rebounds.
love run teams
Some teams have run with us and we love that.
eventually felt good knew lots run sloppy tempo tough
A little sloppy at times, but we knew it was going to be a tough game. We're a team, with the tempo we play, lots of times we play in runs. We felt like we eventually could go on a run and get a pretty good lead.
alex behind confident foul ivory job lead nice picked played plays rest running second took
I am very confident with Alex and the rest of them out there. Alex has played a lot this year. She plays with Ivory, and I know when Ivory picked up her second foul and I took her out, we were behind at that time. Alex did a nice job running the team, and we got the lead back.
ball four fun good run strong teams watch
All the teams, they go up and down the floor, run the ball well, they have a strong inside-outside game. Just good balance, good flow. All four teams here are a lot of fun to watch play.
court flow matter people rhythm takes team
We go up and down the court and try to make things exciting. We play the same no matter what team we are playing. It takes people out of their rhythm and flow of their offense.
both reports scouting
We both have our scouting reports already done.
slow
To play slow would not be the thing to do with her.
gas good knew tempo
We knew they would give us a good game. We just wanted to keep the tempo up. They had a lot of gas left.
knew tough
We knew they were going to give us a tough game, and they did.
best came ford guard ivory men phil point practice sit talk watch
When Ivory first came in, I would have Ivory go and sit with Phil and watch our men practice and Phil Ford would talk to her about being a point guard. In my book, he's the best point guard there's ever been.
key trying
We did key a little on her. We were trying to keep her from getting hot.
against boston college good happy win
We're happy with the win against a very good Boston College team.
