executing five hopefully last peak tournament trying turned
We've been executing really well (the last five games). So hopefully we're getting things turned around at the right time. Like I told the kids, we're trying to peak for the tournament now.
chance executing hard offense players trying understand win
We are still trying to get the players to understand that they are not executing our offense the way we want. Because we still have a chance to win at the end, it is hard for them to understand this, but we are not there yet.
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.
games good happy job last played playing team
I think these last two games we've played more as a team than we had been doing. We really did a good job of executing, and I'm very happy with the way they're playing right now.
advantage beat breaker tied
We are tied for third. But they have the advantage if there's a tie breaker because they beat Fresno.
defense quicker
We wanted to go to a smaller, quicker lineup to play man-to-man on defense and that got us back in the game.
adjustment beyond gives position putting rebounds score step
Pam rebounds for us, and I think with this adjustment we're putting her in a better position to score because she can step out beyond the arc. It gives her more flexibility.
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.
control depend happens number
We can't control anything like that. A lot is going to depend on what happens with our RPI number and what happens with other teams.
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.
bunch came chance deal desire five games last pull six together tonight win
We've been down before at the half, so it wasn't a big deal to us. Five of our last six games we've had a chance to win and didn't have the desire to pull it out. We were a bunch of individuals, but tonight we came together and were able to pull out a win.
afford dropped game gift lose wrapped
We gift wrapped this game and they dropped it. We can't afford to play like this (tomorrow) or we'll lose by 40.
defeat
We had considerable consideration, but we didn't get in.
advantage both defensive floor happened helped hopefully sides spots time
Those were two big issues. We weren't in the right spots at the right time and that helped their defense. We need to use both sides of the floor and hopefully take advantage of a defensive lapse. This has happened before. We'll keep working on it.
