controlled except game happened involved kids learning seven top
I thought we controlled game except for that four-minute stretch. What happened in that four-minute stretch, our top seven kids weren't involved in that. We have to get more young kids learning to play.
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.
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.

We would liked to have held them to eight or nine.
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.

We've got to play better. We've got to engage our minds and play more with our minds and our spirits.

I felt like we got great play out of our entire team.
