A coach is only as good as his players are, I think. They had a goal and they really have stuck with it. They deserve to be here.
If we get out in the open court, there's some unbelievable things the girls have done this year.
Our post defense isn't our strongest point. They posted up well and made good passing lanes. They executed on the offensive end.
We play together so well as a team. There's no drama. All the girls get along. There's a lot of team chemistry.
Shooting 34 percent in the state basketball tournament, I don't think you're going to win a lot of games.
Waubay is the only team we never full-court pressed this year. Otherwise, we get teams to have 25 to 30 turnovers.
It's very key. If you can score at the end of a quarter or get a stop, you get momentum going into the next quarter.
We've been doing that all year. We wanted to get out and spread the floor. We knew they were the bigger team. We couldn't just play them in the half court. We wanted to pressure them.
The girls are ready to start open gym already.
We averaged 60 points per game this season and that was all due to getting turnovers. Our full-court press didn't hurt them at all, today. They were poised.
