We played really well. Down the stretch we had chances. We had a chance to get a lead; they hit a couple (of shots) and we didn't.
It was a tale of two halves for us. We could not do much that first half, especially the first quarter. We were really out of synch offensively and they capitalized on some chances we gave them with turnovers.
We didn't play as well as we're capable. We came out flat.
We were just a different team the second half. We talked about staying aggressive offensively but we got tentative.
We didn't change anything up at halftime. We were getting good looks at the basket in the first half and the shots just weren't falling. I told them to keep their heads up and keep shooting. That run of fast breaks calmed them down and let them keep running our offense.
We're not thinking about placement. We just want to play well and try to go 2-0. If we play well on our home court we'll have a great opportunity to get two wins.
We played great team defense, and communication was the key. The girls talked to each other and helped each other. We limited their looks.
We want to get back to the level of consistency we had against CMR.
We have to use this as motivation. But it's not one we can dwell on. The season starts over for everybody right now. We've got to forget about this and move on.
We just didn't make baskets the second half. We've got to be able to shoot from the outside. We had some good looks, but couldn't drop the shots.
