West opened up in a zone, and we hit some threes that got us going. I thought we did a good job of coming off the screens and a good job of moving the ball. That got us some open looks, and we hit some shots.
Our defense was solid most of the game. We got good pressure on the ball, and the kids did a good job helping each other out. The defense played well.
We had a good shoot-around this morning. I thought they were pretty focused for the game.
You put three kids in double figures (points), your chance to win the game goes up.
They were late rotating to her and she knocked them down.
We turned them over a few times in the second quarter, and that led to some easy baskets in transition. Then we hit some threes and got some baskets inside. That was one of our best quarters of the season.
We had about five or six opportunities in the third quarter and I think three or four of them were wide-open looks that just didn't go down.
We were patient at the end. They only had two team fouls late in the game, and I thought that was to our advantage. We didn't care what the score is. We just needed to hang onto the ball at that point.
Coach Shea thought the zone would work, so we tried it and had good results. The tempo of the game slowed down and that threw them for a loop.
Griff said she is probably going to be one of his best players that he would have had.
