I hate it more for her than for us.

We didn’t play with any intensity, then we came alive. The difference was the free throws.

We just wanted to bring it down and put it up. We had a good look at the basket, we just overshot it.

I thought when we got into overtime that this was our game. I knew our kids were going to come alive.

Besides free throws and taking some unnecessary shots at the end of the game, I thought they played such a great game. They played great team defense. We were looking to go inside on them....

We let our guard down. We kept letting them get the boards.

You can only push these kids so far. We’ve been practicing three hours each day, and we’ve started to see some things. With a young team, you don’t know if you’re going to move forward...

Neither team hit free throws. Who knows what would have happened if one team was hot from the line.

In any state playoff game, (opponent) is going to come to play. We didn’t expect a low-intensity game. If we’d kept up our defense, it wouldn’t have been as close.

He saw that we weren’t shooting our foul shots that well. But we usually do well at the end.

The difference between last year and this year was the experience. Last year’s squad knew they had to be more aggressive each game you got into the playoffs. This year’s team learned a tough lesson.

We executed on offense. On defense, some of the time. We just lose focus sometimes.

This win was really big. This was huge. The girls started the game with a high intensity level and really put in a lot of effort in this game.

Both of our teams are very similar. We like to go inside, they like to go inside. We have good shooters, they have good shooters. We play hard on defense and they play hard on...
