The result of tonight’s game was the result of two practices that the girls got nothing out of. You can’t take practice time off.

These girls play good ‘D’ for the most part. It’s a team effort.

Defense. That’s what we’re known for.

They got some good looks, but they just didn’t go in.

What I think is tremendous about her effort is, obviously she got 35 points, but defensively every game we ask her to take the other team’s best player or playmaker the player that makes that...

It’s tough to be second. I’m very proud of them.

Statistically, we are not impressive on paper. We’re just not. This team, I’m so proud of them because they’ve really taken advantage of their strengths. And we have weaknesses, but they haven’t killed us —...

We can’t turn the ball over like that.

It was so close and everybody’s proud of them. I am so proud of them.

In the second half, it was more about what they did. Regina, she’s tough to get around inside. We turned the ball over too much, uncharacteristically.

There’s a certain expectation, and I demand that things be done a certain way. Little things make a big difference.

We were out of sorts.

When everybody left the locker room, there was a lot of talk that we’re going to come back next year already. Every player that walked out said we’re coming back here next year.

We had to go back and start all over. And, as a coach I’m not afraid to do that because I’ve done it before, but it takes time.

Early on, we were working really hard at just getting the ball up court.

They were doubling Melissa. If you could choose one tonight, that’s who it was.

You have to think that.

We talked about the start; I guess we didn’t talk about the finish.

Thank God it’s over. It can only get better from here.

She does have extra-long arms. We know that about her. What timely shot-blocking!

We were at a loss. We were just not making good decisions.

I told the girls when we went out there, it was nice to see them in their white uniforms. That was a tough run we had on the road.

That’s why were a team. No one person does it all.

That’s awesome. That gives us a lot of opportunities because we’re not shooting very well. When you’re only turning the ball over four times, that helps.

Not in a state tournament, and not against this team.
