We felt like we had the game in hand and we settled down a bit. It always seems with Colgate that we get to a big lead and then we let them back in. That team never gives up.
ball care finish hang percent shoot shot
We're going to have to take care of the ball and finish on our shot opportunities. We're not going to get 30 or 40 shot opportunities. We have to shoot well over 50 or 60 percent to hang in there with them.
anywhere asked field hard played player roles type
We've asked her to do things that she didn't anticipate. She has played all these roles because of all the injuries. But she's the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and that's pretty hard to find.
ball double fed missed player quick ready trouble
I don't think we were ready for how quick they fed the ball in and shot. On offense, we had trouble with their double teams, and when we skipped the ball over to the wide-open player we missed some opportunities.
