I thought we stayed right with them. It was just that one lull that put us in a hole that was difficult to climb out of. But I thought we did a good job climbing.
I thought defensively we did a really good job on a team that averages 83 points per game. I was very pleased with our execution at both ends of the court.
I thought we did a nice job of forcing turnovers and that was a key to winning the game. They got within five and we had to force a few turnovers in order to put them away.
I thought they did a nice job defending us, but we weren't hitting our shots. When you miss shots and they respond with baskets on the other end, the lead evaporates quickly.
I thought they did a great job in the first half, especially finishing, making shots and driving the score up. I thought they read things well and really did a nice job finishing the game.
I thought that we really adjusted well from the first half to the second half, which is a good indication of how well these kids do at adjusting. We did a much better job of defending penetration and we got on the boards a lot better.
We rebounded well and played their tendencies extremely well. They really could not get shots off because when they tried to run their plays we knew what they were going to do. I think we did a good job of keeping them in check.
I wanted her to basically take a look at things from the floor to see defensively how she could improve upon her game and help our team. I thought she did a tremendous job tonight coming off the bench. I doubt it will be permanent. She did exactly what I needed her to do tonight.
