ball came pleased shared
We shared the ball really well. I'm pleased that we came down here so focused.
achieve desire matter perform
It didn't matter that she was undersized. Her desire to perform and achieve were big.
adjusting behind change good half job kids normally plan second time tougher tried
Our kids did a good job of adjusting (defensively) when we had to go to Plan B. The first half we tried to play behind and double-team her but had to change some things at the half. We went back to what we normally do and that's pressuring the ball. She had a tougher time in the second half scoring. In the first half it was so easy.
breaks free handle ourselves self shot
We self-destructed in so many phases. The free throws, the turnovers. We couldn't handle the ball. Just things like that. We didn't get any breaks (from the officials) but we shot ourselves in the foot, too.
took
We took them out of some things they wanted to do.
bothered good guards pressure shots
We made some big shots when we had to have ?em. Their guards are really good and they put pressure on us and bothered us all night.
balanced both coach extremely good hard playing point position relationships shows teammates trust worked
The position that she plays, I feel, is about relationships. Relationships with your coach and with your teammates and I think she's worked extremely hard in both of those areas. There is a lot of trust between us and with her and her teammates. And if everybody's playing well and we're as balanced as we are (offensively), that shows we have a good point guard.
