We just tried to concentrate on playing all five of them as tough as we could, whether that was inside or outside. Unfortunately, Holtz got off to a hot start, and Johnson came on to pick up where she left off, and that was the difference.
Defensively, I thought that our perimeter people helped a lot. We helped and then recovered. We've been preaching that all year long and tonight, it actually came to fruition. Once the ball went down to the post, we dropped down and got some help.
My pearl, my life, my loved ones have been turned upside down,
I think we took the ball and created some opportunities for ourselves and put them in situations where they would foul a little bit more. We moved the ball. We got some good shots inside.
Monika's something else. She's what, 5-5? And don't forget about Anna (Conrad). She brought the ball up the entire game against some pretty tough, intense pressure.
I thought she (Holtz) and number 24 (Johnson) were the difference in the game. They scored and rebounded and they were the difference -- no doubt about it. I thought we had some shots open, but unfortunately, they didn't fall.
Our girls came in and gave a great effort. That's the way it's been all year. That will carry them a long way in life, and I suspect that they're going to be some very successful young ladies.
Yeah, we were in foul trouble and turning the ball over too much (11 first-half turnovers), but we were only down two at the half.
I deeply regret the perception that I had done wrong, ... I never intended any harm...It's a shame this whole mess ever happened.
We're as good as want to be on any given night. The rest of our schedule is tough so that tells me the girls will play at another level.
