dream since
It's been my dream ever since I was old enough to walk.
caused defense extended screens switched
They really extended their defense and that caused us a lot of problems. They were more disciplined and they switched through their screens quicker. They gambled a lot more in the first half. They know what they are doing defensively. They wouldn't be 33-0 if they didn't.
free game knew shoot trying wanting
I was wanting to get back in the game, but I didn't say anything. I was trying to be a cheerleader. I knew if things went well I'd be back in the game to shoot free throws.
foul game trouble
I don't think we've ever had a game when we've been in foul trouble like that.
definitely falling few game intense kept lead thinking
There were definitely a few doubts. This was probably the most intense game I've ever been in. I just kept thinking if we could ever get a lead in overtime. We kept falling behind.
ended felt pounding rely second shooting third
We ended up shooting a lot of threes, especially in the second and third quarter, but I told the team, 'We can't rely on the 3-point shot. I felt like if we just keep pounding and pounding and pounding, we'd be all right.
advance streak win
We really, really wanted to win this game. Not only to advance but to keep that streak alive.
