We stopped the game just long enough to acknowledge her.
We made a fantastic run in the fourth quarter. We sort of sleep-walked through three quarters, but picked up our game in the fourth.
He would drive and dish off and they'd hit the shots.
He's come a long way over the year. It's really noticeable when he's in the game and when he's not for us, defensively and offensively, because we've really come to rely on him for a lot of things.
He had it thrust upon him this year and has gotten better at it. He's done a better job on the nights we've given him a little bit of help.
He did a great job on both ends of the floor. Danny Blake knew the double-team was coming all night long and he handled it well.
I would say it's been a learning process. We were somewhat inexperienced when we started the year. Simon Store was really the only guy back with a lot of experience, so I kind of felt there would be come growing pains and there have been.
Ouch. Up until then, I thought we had competed. But when things went wrong, we hung our heads and kind of gave up the ship.
It feels good to get a win. We didn't turn the ball over. We didn't get in foul trouble.
I think Jeffers was just overwhelmed by the emotion of the evening. I've been on the other end of that and it isn't much fun. Jeffers is a pretty good team, much better than the score would indicate. If we played like that every night, we'd be pretty tough to beat.
We played better defense against him in the second half.
We played a pretty good first half, but struggled in the second. Their guards picked up their scoring in the second half and couldn't keep pace.
We didn't play well on either end of the floor. I don't know what was wrong.
We still had our share of mistakes, but we made our way through it. We didn't let them get us down.
We were able to weather the storm and stretch it out to 10 or 12 points.
We didn't give the Sundance folks much of a show for three quarters, but once we got going, it got pretty loud.
We had a bad second quarter, but we weren't out of it at halftime. Our defense played pretty well.
We hit some shots against their zone in the first half and played pretty good defense the whole game, but our offense struggled, beginning in the second quarter.
Our defense has kept us in games. When we handle the ball and we're scoring regularly, we're competitive with pretty much everybody. But on those nights when the offense is kind of struggled, then it's tough.
Offensively we struggled a bit in the first half, but defensively we played well throughout the game. We missed quite a few shots in the first half we should have made.
That's not like Simon to shoot like he did. But all of us were off the mark in this game.
They shot rally well in the second half.
They had three in double figures and two more with seven, so they've got five guys who can score and that's tough to defend.
It's been a long time since we won. We got behind at halftime, but played much, much better in the second half. We still had our lulls, but we kept our heads up.
It's hard to defend that. We didn't handle their 1-3-1 zone and turned the ball over too many times.
They were a little more efficient. They beat us on the boards pretty bad, 29-18.
At times we can play well and at other times not so well. Tonight, we didn't play very well. But credit Ewen, they played very good basketball, especially in the first half.
Their scoring gave us other options than Lindsey, so it was harder for them to shut her down.
He played well, but team-wise not turning the ball over was a big thing.
