playing
We were like playing 2 on 5 out there. I mean, really.
anyone good home returned seniors team tough washington year
When you play anyone on their home court, I think it's going to be a tough game. Washington is a real good team and they're going to play a lot of people. They returned everyone from a year ago and all their seniors are fifth-year seniors.
lack light ucla zone
UCLA was on fire. Because of our lack of depth, we had to play zone a lot. And then they would light it up.
attacking key time tough zone
We had a tough time with Smith. I thought the key was when they went to a zone and we didn't adjust. We were not attacking the zone as we could have.
conference good third washington
Washington is very good at home. They're in third place in conference and there is a lot of pressure. They play a lot of different people.
good katie players state three washington
Washington State has three good players in Katie Benz, Katie Appleton and Charmaine Jones.
adjustment good knew
We thought she could be a good perimeter scorer. At the same time, we knew it would be an adjustment for her.
step took
We took a step back. We need to take a step forward.
definitely equally forward future hard looking next start tough until wait
We definitely are looking forward to the future and next season. This has been hard on everybody. I think it is equally important that we wait until we get everyone back and start working out again. It has been a tough year, but it also has been very positive, too.
lose ok work
We're going to come back and work, because this is not OK. It's not OK to lose, and it's not OK to lose like this.
feels three
Yeah, I like it. Two out of three feels better.
depth missing people players
We're missing players and we're missing depth and size. You get people that are tired.
glad good headed
We do a lot of good things, and some things that aren't very smart. I'm glad we're headed for a new year.
loss
This was not our day; it was actually a very embarrassing loss for us.
