daring inside missed
I thought we were a little intimidated inside. They were guarding us one-on-one and daring us to go to the basket. We missed way too many inside shots.
coming happy level
Overall, I'm happy where we're are. We all know that there's another level coming Wednesday.
beginning consistency depth games literally process talent wins
My thought process from the beginning has been, let's see if we can get enough wins to be in the postseason, and then go from there. We just don't have the consistency and the depth of talent to be able to say that these games are wins and these games are maybes. We've literally got to take it one game at a time.
coaches extremely mention
I was extremely disappointed Brittany Wilkins was not an all-conference player. And I will mention it to the coaches in our league.
amazing amount behind kept played players plugging themselves
The players did it; they just willed themselves to some things. They played with an amazing amount of energy. We've come from behind a lot, and we just kept plugging away.
basket finishing job last position
We've got to get more out of them then we did last night. We've got to do a better job of finishing around the basket and getting in better position to score.
build coaching game people
To the players' credit, they didn't panic. That's not about coaching or game planning. It's about the people you have. We'll build off of this.
free lose talking throws win
We're not talking about free throws that could win or lose a game, we're talking about free throws that could end the season.
giving guarded half hard hot kept kids
We guarded hard enough in the first half to be in the game. The kids sensed that Britt was hot and we kept giving her the ball. And we just kept guarding like crazy.
early handle opportunity people
We're going to have a lot of people get an opportunity early to see if they can handle this level.
quick quickly switching trying
We were trying to go for a quick two or (go) in and right back out. They were switching everything, so we were trying to go quickly to the basket.
couple everybody happened left months ok
If we would have left close, everybody would have said that's OK after what happened to us a couple of months ago.
hard honestly minnesota
If we play as hard as we did at Minnesota and play really, really smart, I honestly think we could go 16-0. If we don't play hard and we don't play smart, we could be 0-16.
based great played respect team
Based on their history, based on the way they've played over the years, they're a team that everyone has great respect for in the women's game.
