I think the key for us is we finally started moving in our defense better, and adjusting and having quicker feet. And being able to contest every shot....We did that. We boarded and then we were able to run and get transition baskets.
We wanted to make them shoot over the top of us. Contest every shot. Our team effort was amazing. The defense was everything I hoped it would be. We kept our feet moving, our arms moving, played with so much energy.
We had some great bench play today. Carrie, Annika and Leah came in and gave us some great scoring and great defense to change the tide.
We were able to, in the second half, get a little run going, finally playing some good defense and getting some rebounding and run in transition, and that's our game.
Purdue played great defense and we didn't knock down some open shots. Then we started fouling a lot, and we really didn't play the way we wanted to.
