effort great played team tougher won
We had great effort and played with great passion, but it just wasn't enough tonight. The tougher team won tonight.
best effort giving jamie players playing team
When Jamie is playing up to her capabilities, she can be one of the best players in the country. We had other players on our team giving us the effort we needed.
effort energy hard people second work
We just wanted to show 12,000 people what we were all about. That's hard work and second effort and just a lot of energy out there.
jamie job playing scared
I thought she was playing scared and tentative. Jamie wasn't getting the job done.
felt hurting jamie job offense playing
Jamie was hurting us. I felt like we didn't have her for the whole game. She was not playing up to her capabilities on offense and defense. She wasn't getting the job done.
everybody happiness jamie judge last
Jamie was disappointed with the last game, but so was everybody else. You can't judge your happiness on one game.
defensive entire mental
We had a lot of mental lapses and defensive breakdowns the entire game. It's a win.
aggression defense gotten longer smarter team
Our team defense has gotten a lot better. We've got to keep our aggression up a little longer and play a little smarter and a little more disciplined.
bench
Our bench made the difference, especially in the end.
coach excited extremely game learn pleasure
The only thing I want to say about this game is I was extremely excited for our seniors. It's been a pleasure to coach them, and it's been a pleasure to learn from them, too.
almost barely found four games last lost three won
I think in the last three or four games they have barely lost or they've been in games they should have won in the end. If this game would have slipped away, this is just another one that they almost (won) and they found a way to win.
earlier jump worried
I worried more about that earlier in the season. I can't jump to conclusions after one game.
floor options younger
Some of our better options on the floor are with the younger players.
few past wavering
Natasha had been wavering the past few weeks. It didn't come as a surprise.
