Our kids showed a lot of passion in our comeback and I'm proud of the way they fought to put the game into overtime. We got aggressive with our press and knocked them back on their heels.
We really had worked hard this week on getting ready and the kids really came through with the execution of our zone and made them go man to man. I thought both teams had fought really, really hard.
There are 11 teams in the Big East that we hadn't faced before, so you could say it fits into the prototype of the year.
It just didn't feel like it was the right thing to do at the right time.
They're making mistakes they won't be making in another two weeks.
I think we were just shell-shocked going into the overtime. We didn't come out with the same intensity in overtime that we had the rest of the game.
We are in March Madness, and this is what you really do this for in the long run. I do it for a lot of reasons, but the real tangible aspect is wanting to be in March Madness, and we are in it.
It was a really hard fought game and a very physical one. Both teams showed a lot of guts and at the end they made a few more plays.
That was a game of runs, and we ended up with the last run.
We couldn't get matched up on her quick enough before she put too many (3s) down. It just gave them a real energy level.
