advantage matter second starter
When you get an opportunity, you've got to take advantage of it no matter if you're a starter or you're second string. You just got to be ready.
coaches depth difficult playing preach prepare secondary starters team veterans
We have some depth in the secondary and the coaches preach to the backups to prepare like starters and I think you can see that on the field. When all of the guys, from the veterans to the rookies, are playing hard, it makes us a very difficult team to beat.
against backs concerned game gonna hitting second shots start teams
We've got to come out the same way we come out in the second half, ... We've got to start the game with some sense of urgency. Once teams start hitting shots and get a read on us, it's gonna put our backs against the wall. That's something we need to be concerned about.
cannot dear drowned hear inside professor second sitting
Those things that are most dear cannot be drowned - the grooves and the second line, the way you feel inside when you hear Professor Longhair. Even when you're sitting down, that's in you.
changed changes defense gave handle prepared secondary
We really don't handle changes in defense very well. We prepared for man, and when they changed to their secondary defense, it really gave us trouble.
brought energy game help helped matter second team turn unit whatever
I was going to do whatever I could, no matter what, to help out the team tonight. Our second unit brought the energy and it helped turn the game around.
asset confidence definitely informed option room sam second taking year
I have informed Sam I am taking up the option on the second year of his contract. There is still a big room for improvement, but he has pace, he has confidence and he will definitely be an asset to the club.
against gave girls good halftime lose lost points proud second
My girls never gave up. We were down by 16 at halftime and we lose by 18. We lost the second half by two points against a very good team. I'm very proud of how they played.
half happy second
I was happy the first half. The second half was a letdown that I usually don't see with this team, so that has me concerned.
backed call foul good proud ready second stay taking
I was very proud of her in the second half. You could see her getting ready to go for the basketball, and it would have been an over-the-back call and she backed off. That's a good thing, to see them taking what you tell them and going out and doing it, especially going into the tournament. We're going to need her to stay out of foul trouble.
coming game kids open pleased second strong taking team wind
I was very pleased with how we responded to open the second half. Napa had the wind and the momentum, but the kids showed what kind of team they are by coming out strong and taking Napa out of the game in the first 10 minutes.
box care charge face great heath impressed job maggie morgan played rattle second sparks took tremendous work
I was very impressed with our second half. We played a 2-3 zone, but we didn't box out well so we have to work on that. But I was very pleased. We took care of the basketball. Morgan Reeves played a tremendous game. She sparks our defense. She did a great job doing that. She took a charge from (Heath's) Maggie Combs and was in her face the whole game. She was able to rattle Heath a little bit.
basketball changes complexion decided half instead last locker minute quarter room second
I think the first quarter and the last minute of the second half decided the basketball game. Then we give up a 10-point lead. If we would've went into the locker room up 12 instead of six, I think that changes the whole complexion of the basketball game.
definitely good job keeps player second
I thought we did a much better job on him second half. He's definitely a good player and he's only a sophomore. He's going to be really good if he keeps on working with his game. I just thought we did a lot better job defensively that second half.
