We're ready to play when we come up from the locker room. We jump on teams and sustain it.
With the shortened arm path, the ball seems to jump a little better,
We knew we were going to jump back into the Big Ten. It was tough taking that loss but you can't think about it. That's one of the things we've been doing so good as a team. We've been able to recover and bounce back really well.
We knew they were vulnerable, they had a tough loss the other night and we knew they had a new goalie. And with a team like that, you've got to jump on them early and that's what we did. We got the first goal and we just kept going from there.
We knew they were very athletic, but they weren't hitting their jump shots in the first half.
We knew they were ready to jump on us after that brawl with Santiago. We weren't wrestling as well as I thought we could, so I was concerned. They were ready to jump on us.
We knew they played that overtime game. We didn't play that many minutes last night. So the key for us was just to get out quickly, make some stuff happen. It seemed like they had slow feet from the start of the game, which allowed us to jump on them early.
We're going to have to start doing a better job with our coverage teams. It's not so much that we aren't tackling. We're not staying in our lanes. All our guys are moving inside, and they're jumping to the outside.
We're going to have to play three complete periods (today). We'll see a better team (today), a team that will capitalize on your mistakes and jump all over you.
We're going to have to get our bats alive like we did against UNLV. We've got to have the same kind of attitude we did in that game and jump on (Sacramento State) early.
