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.
defended fighting playing struggling
We're playing hard; we're scratching, we're fighting and I thought we defended really, really solid. Offensively we're really, really struggling right now.

We're playing hard. I thought we rebounded and defended hard. But offensively, we're really struggling.

coaches dramatic effort good history iowa kids proud state team top win
This was as good of a team effort as we've had in a long time. I'm very proud of them. This is not going to go down in history as an earth-shaking, dramatic top 10 win for Iowa State women's basketball, but I don't think you can tell the kids that and I don't think you can tell the coaches that. It was special.
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.
explain kids row shots stand struggle weird
It's just been one of those weird things, and you really can't explain it. You see kids that can stand here (in practice) and make 20 shots in a row and then we struggle (in games).
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.
