They're going to knock down some shots. (Tonight) we were there until that late barrage.
chairs coming couple fault fought fun playing plays points short sitting state tooth
It's not too much fun coming up two points short of playing for the state championship. But don't fault our kids. We fought them tooth and nail, and if we have a couple plays go our way we'd be sitting in different chairs right now.
chose defense foul four great hopefully inside interior pick poison quarters shooting stay stop wear
I thought our interior defense was outstanding. They're a great shooting team. You have to pick your poison with great teams. We chose to try to stop them inside and stay out of foul trouble. We know they were going to be shooters but hopefully you can wear them out in four quarters (and) she made a great shot.
aspect girls great mental
(Her return) is huge. The mental aspect was great and the girls responded.
four good quarters
You never know what'll happen. We're four good quarters away from Redbird Arena.
dominated effort game great kids overall ready
We dominated this game from the start. Our overall effort was great and the kids were ready from the start.
four knew minutes points score second talked
We talked about the first four minutes (of the second half). We got those first four points and they knew we could score in spurts.
defense pushed tempo
We still pushed the tempo when we had the opportunities to. They slowed it down but our half-court defense was pretty sound.
assignment blew
We blew an assignment and she made the shot.
easier everybody
We won't box-and-one her. She's going to score. It's just that you've got to keep everybody else in check. That's easier said than done.
