challenge tremendous
It's going to be a tremendous challenge for us and a tremendous opportunity.
hard
It's a hard trip, so to be able to come back and play like we did was good.
bad good job kids limited people position putting situations
I put our kids in a bad position by putting them in too many situations where they were guarding people 1-on-1. They did a good job guarding us. They really limited us.
ball deeper developing great job post
They did a great job of getting the ball inside. They're deeper in the post than we are. I think they've done a great job developing post players.
entire felt great
I felt like we got great play out of our entire team.
learn needs speed
Aggie needs to learn to play at different tempos. She has one speed n go fast.
awe best country dame games good guards inside played point respect strong team
I think we've played so many of these games that we aren't in awe of any team we play. We think Notre Dame has a good team, and we respect them. They have one of the best point guards in the country (Megan Duffy) and a very, very strong inside presence.
dame guard less
UMKC does a lot of the same things that Notre Dame does, but they've got less athleticism and more 3-point shooting. We're going to have to make some adjustments in the way we guard them.
contested defensive good job second start
We did a good job on the defensive end of making them take contested shots. Defensively, I thought we did a good job to start the second half.
control crazy defending game physical powerful run second shots speed stuff tempo work
We just need to get the game to be at our speed and our tempo and work on defending their speed, athleticism and physical ability. Duffy can't go crazy on us. We've got to control her. We can't let them run their high-low stuff or get second shots because they're a powerful rebounding team.
eye frame kids positive
We just have to have a positive frame of mind, which I think our kids have, we have to confidence, which I think our kids will have, and we've got to have the eye of the tiger.
ball carrie floor guard hard jamie open three worked
We worked the ball because they were clogging up the middle. We got a lot of open looks. With Lauren, Carrie and Jamie on the floor it's hard to guard all three 3-point shooters. We got open 3s and made enough of them.
engage minds
We've got to play better. We've got to engage our minds and play more with our minds and our spirits.
great lauren nice players plays step teams types
Those are those types of plays that don't show up in the scorebook that are momentum-changers. The great teams have players that make those plays. It was nice to see Lauren step up and do that.
