expect kept playoff state
In any state playoff game, (opponent) is going to come to play. We didn't expect a low-intensity game. If we'd kept up our defense, it wouldn't have been as close.
besides free great inside knew looking needed played shots taking team throws
Besides free throws and taking some unnecessary shots at the end of the game, I thought they played such a great game. They played great team defense. We were looking to go inside on them. We knew that was something we needed to do.
foul saw shooting shots
He saw that we weren't shooting our foul shots that well. But we usually do well at the end.

I hate it more for her than for us.
aggressive difference game knew last learned squad team tough year
The difference between last year and this year was the experience. Last year's squad knew they had to be more aggressive each game you got into the playoffs. This year's team learned a tough lesson.
free happened hit hot knows neither team
Neither team hit free throws. Who knows what would have happened if one team was hot from the line.
beat both defense good hard teams
Both of our teams are very similar. We like to go inside, they like to go inside. We have good shooters, they have good shooters. We play hard on defense and they play hard on defense. I told my team if they beat them on the boards, then we will win. And that's what they did.
forward hours kids move practicing push three
You can only push these kids so far. We've been practicing three hours each day, and we've started to see some things. With a young team, you don't know if you're going to move forward or not.
focus lose
We executed on offense. On defense, some of the time. We just lose focus sometimes.
came difference free
We didn't play with any intensity, then we came alive. The difference was the free throws.

This win was really big. This was huge. The girls started the game with a high intensity level and really put in a lot of effort in this game.
guard kept letting
We let our guard down. We kept letting them get the boards.
