brought effort given kept past playing proud team
I've never been more proud of any team in the past 10 years than I am of this team tonight. When we got behind, they could have given up, but they didn't. They kept playing hard. It was a team effort that brought us back tonight. It was everybody.
earned players playoffs since start stepped
I've told the players since the start of the playoffs that they have earned the right to be here. They've responded. Everyone has stepped up and is doing what it takes.
foul left loss trouble
She hasn't been in foul trouble all season. It was so uncharacteristic that it kind of left us at a loss for a little bit.
attitude goes last relaxed season
I think she's a little more relaxed and she goes in with the attitude to just play. Last season (in the playoffs), she would get frustrated, and this year, she's more relaxed.
closer opportunity percent rebounds second seemed shot size time took
The rebounding seemed like it was a lot closer than I thought it was going to be, because it seemed like they were getting a lot more rebounds than us. With the size that we have, usually 50 percent of the time we'll have an opportunity to get a second shot off, but they took that away.
learn lose miss people playing playoffs seniors tremendous
We lose two seniors who were tremendous in their roles. We'll miss them, but we had a lot of young people playing in the playoffs and we'll learn from this.
enjoying expected fun playing pressure
We know no one has expected us to do what we've done. We know we're the underdogs. But I think that's why we've been playing so well. There is no pressure on our team. They're just going out and having fun and enjoying themselves.
adjust adjusted game instead past played playoffs teams tried
We've tried to make teams adjust to us. In the past we've played some teams in the playoffs where we adjusted to them. Now, instead of going in on the defensive, we're going in on the offensive. We play our game and let the other team adjust to our style.
