brought coach group happen high intensity kid lady last lifted next opportunity state teams ten
For me to have that opportunity to coach a young lady that talented, that doesn't happen very often. When you have a kid that's going to play in the Big Ten next year, with that comes high expectations for the team. She brought high intensity to a group that was already pretty intense, and lifted our play to where we were one of the better teams in state over last two years.
fighting fights-and-fighting gonna kids proud
I'm proud of my kids for fighting back to win. We're gonna take it and get after it on Thursday.
believed gave win
For a lot of the game, we were clawing our way back in. We never gave up. We believed we could win right down to the very end.
added confidence dealt knowing lady needs played points pressure role score throughout
She's played with so much confidence throughout the year. With that role comes added pressure and she's dealt with all that knowing that she needs to score 20 points for us to be successful. That's lot for a young lady to handle, but she's done it really, really well.
defensive effort eight eventually six somebody step time within work
Every time they got it within six or eight points, somebody would step up. They really made us work hard, but our defensive effort eventually got us the win.
attack good kid kids press reads team teams tough
We're a pretty tough team to press with a kid like Jamie. If teams are going to press us, we want to attack and make them pay. I thought all our kids made good reads off their press.
board hard low roll seconds stack
We just said, 'Let's stack it up, get it in, go 1-4 low and with about 10 seconds left, let's go hard to the hole. And we did. We got what we wanted out of it. The roll I thought was going to go in. She used the board well, but it just rolled out.

We got what we wanted out of it. We got it on the board, and 'go get it if you need to' all those things happened. The roll, I thought it was going to go in. She (Braun) used the board well, it just rolled out.
