battle credit floor forget good night shooting smart
This is a smart team. When you tell them something, they go out and do it or at least try to do it. It was a credit to our seniors. Christina didn't have a good shooting night but had a good floor game. For some reason, we all battle it. You kind of forget what got you there.
half nice second start year
It's a nice start for the second half for us. We're 2-0 in the new year and, hopefully, we can keep it going.
coach floor given knew needed taken work
She had to work a lot. I probably should have taken her out, given her a little break, but I knew she wanted to be on the floor and I needed her on the floor because she's like a coach out there.
distance excited girls good missed opportunity playing program quarter shots third tournament
The girls were really excited for the opportunity (playing for the title). We went back a lot of years in the program and we couldn't ever find us playing for an in-season tournament championship anywhere. We had a real good idea what Marquette was going to do. I don't know if it was fatigue, but we just missed some shots in the third quarter and let them get a little distance between them and us.
challenged girls halftime step
We challenged the girls at halftime to step up.
bit knew played
We knew what they were going to do, we knew how they were going to do it. They just played a little bit better then we did.
