blocks breathing couple gave good last minutes played steals
The last 3 or 4 minutes we played good D, got a couple of steals and a couple of blocks that gave us breathing room.
couple home steal win
The old adage, you win them all at home and steal a couple on the road; we've got to win a couple at home. We're kind of upside-down at home.
describe handed win
I can't describe this game. I have no idea what was going on out there. There were times where we should have just handed them the ball, but it is a win for us.
early job quickness second
Early on we had no-help defense, in part because of their quickness and in part because of us not being in position. We did a much better job in the second half.
allowed calm confidence defensive excited gave offense zone
I think our zone slowed them down, and allowed us to calm down. It gave our offense a little confidence because we were getting defensive stops. When we get stops, we get excited on offense.
area gives post wing
She gives us a little different dimension, because we can play her in the post area and we can play her on the wing area.
happen
This isn't ever going to happen to us again.
family home needed priorities program school second situation
Our priorities for our program are your family comes first, school comes second and basketball's after that somewhere. This is a situation where she just needed to be back home for a little while and we did that.
conference great kids last played proud road
The kids did a great job. Two conference road wins, I couldn't be more proud of how they played the last two games.
playing prove team
I think we've got something to prove to ourselves. That wasn't our team out there. We're playing a little better now.
advantage both inside people physical size start
We need to start getting more physical with people. In both games, we had a significant size advantage on them, and our inside people couldn't take advantage of that.
four situation stay zone
We've had that zone in for only four days. We wanted to stay in the zone and not get into a one-on-one situation with them.
discussion game issue practice ready road
We've never made (playing on the road) a big deal, so it's never become an issue with the kids. There's no discussion about where we're playing. It's just a road game and we just go to practice and get ready to play.
avoid dig eight game hole nine
We didn't want to dig our hole any deeper. We don't want to be eight or nine and have to play in the play-in game for the tournament. The only way we're going to avoid that is to get some wins.
