I haven't heard the number, but I know it was too many.
If people key on her, we have perimeter shooters who can step up. She gives us more balance and makes us harder to defend.
If we could have shot the ball better from the perimeter, we could have loosened them up a bit.
We were in pretty good shape except for the second quarter. We struggled to contain their transition game and didn't shoot the ball like we normally do.
When you analyze it, we were in pretty good shape except quarter No. 2. There were two things that really hurt us today. Actually three when you really think about it. Those three factors were huge.
Someone came up to me outside the gym after the game and said, you know, these girls will step up for you next year. Boy were they right. At the time, I heard what they said, but it was just an empty feeling and I didn't know if we'd ever have the opportunity again.
It was hard to relax much before then. With their three-point shooters and press, nine points can be made up in 25 seconds or less. So, that's why we couldn't get too comfortable until the last seconds.
In both situations we struggled a little bit, but this team is a little more physical and a little taller than I think they're listed. They have good athletic ability, and they move their feet well.
We knew being on their home floor that they would make a run at us. We just lost our composure there for awhile.
Unbelievable basketball game. We did not shoot the ball well and it looked as though it just wasn't meant to be, but these girls just continued to battle.
