ahead ball looked playing saw tight turned
We were playing well and then panicked. I think we looked up at the scoreboard, saw that we were ahead and got scared. We were playing tight and that is why we turned the ball over so much.
attack ball caused problems thrown tied time zone
The zone caused us problems. We didn't attack and every time the ball was thrown inside, we got tied up.
amount playing
I wanted a change, and they end up playing the same amount of minutes.
along basketball believe continue game good line played somewhere stupid team win wish
Somewhere along the line you've got to believe that you're here to win this stupid game and win it. This team has played some very, very good basketball and it's going to continue to play good basketball. I just wish for them that it would just happen.
fed game good half job knocked looks open shot
We did a good job with the inside-outside game in the first half to get some open looks from the perimeter. Lori knocked down her first shot from about 22-feet and that got her going. From there, everyone else just fed off her confidence.
nine quick
We had nine unforced turnovers. They were long lanky and quick to the ball.
coming kept played pull pulling today
We played one today where we had to keep pulling and getting after it. You have to give Northwestern a whole lot of credit. They didn't fold, they kept coming back and they kept making shots, but we were able to pull it out in the end.
believe push
I believe that I have one somewhere. I don't know which one it is, but I'm going to push them to find out. She doesn't even know it, but she'll come and things will be comfortable.
again jim sort work
She's very, very talented. Jim has them work everything around her. On defense, they sort of float, again around her.
credit good job moving played wide worked zone
She was wide open. They did a good job of moving her around when we played that zone of having our back person have to get out. We just didn't get to her. I thought we had the zone pretty well worked out. You've got to give them credit for the adjustments they made.
assist both eye great job knock maggie others running seniors stepped twinkle
Maggie had that twinkle in her eye today. Maggie was everywhere. She does such a great job running our offense, that if others just knock down shots, she's going to get big assist numbers. Both Maggie and Janelle, the two seniors in our back court, have stepped up their play this year.
afford box cannot critical mistakes
We cannot afford to make mistakes and we weren't able to box out in critical situations.
coming great playing
We were doing what we had to do coming out of the blocks. We're right there, then 'Hey, this is nice. This is great playing before 11,000 people.
attention paid scout second
We paid attention to the scout in the second half.
