certainly
It certainly didn't feel like a 10-point win, I can say that.
bats beat close games gave guys league played position swinging wayne
I thought we played really well all day long. To play them as close as we did in two games gave us some confidence. Wayne is 19-1 in the league and we were right in position to beat them twice. We had some guys swinging the bats well.
answer guard hall
You can't guard Hall with one player. They didn't have an answer for Hall or Becker tonight.
brought helped level national program seniors wins
These seniors helped get us 24 wins and into the post-season national tournament. They brought the program back to the level where we always want to be.
hits innings nine three win
I was disappointed in our hitting. When you only have three hits in nine innings you are not going to win too many games.
ball ended hands job keeping nice second shoots shots
Noelle shoots 55 or 56 percent. So the more shots you get her, the better off you'll be. Concordia did a nice job of keeping the ball out of her hands in the first half, but fortunately for us she was able to get going in the second and ended up having a nice game.
baseball both game gave good job keeping nice pitching played run
They each gave up one run and did a really nice job of pitching and keeping us in the game. We didn't get enough hits. It was a very good baseball game and very well pitched and played on both sides.
basket came couple good half looks played second shots
They got a couple of buckets late. But we also had some really good looks at the basket down the stretch, and we just couldn't get any to go down. We were down by 16 in the first half and came back, and we played really well in the second half to get back in it. We just couldn't make the shots at the end.
bad corner difference forced four good hit hurt last missed open percent played shoot shot shots stepped three top wayne whenever wide win
They played pretty good defense. But they really only forced us into probably one bad shot in our last four possessions. We just had some open shots that wouldn't fall. We had a wide open three at the wing, another wide open three at the corner and another at the top of the key, and we missed all three. That was one of the big things that hurt us, was our perimeter shooting. Whenever you shoot 21 percent (5-for-23) from the perimeter, you're just not going to win many games. Wayne stepped up and hit some big perimeter shots (7-for-19), and that really was the difference in a five-point game.
anyone beat best good inside outside played seen teams
If we had played our best game, we probably still wouldn't have won. As long as they have the inside and outside going like they did today, I don't know if anyone can beat them. UND has had a lot of good teams over the years, but I don't know if I've ever seen a better one.
develop example game games great hard improve perseverance summer worked
It was a great example of perseverance on Sara Jensen's part. She has worked very hard over the summer to improve her game and develop confidence, and she has had some outstanding games for us this season.
aggressive free halftime interior line needed players talked throw
At halftime we talked about being aggressive. We needed to get more aggressive and get to the free throw line. With our interior players we should get to the free throw line more than we did in the first half.
defend inside outside
You just can't defend inside and outside at the same time.
four free hard needed shots stretch swing technical time
We only made two out of the four technical free throws. So it wasn't like it was a six-point swing or anything. They just had a hard time making shots after that and we executed down the stretch and did the things we needed to do to win the game.
