“We got good tournament experience. We treated this game like it was a tournament. We had one day of preparation and then had to come in and play a game.”
“Clamp down on defense. We switched to a zone and got them to stand still, and on the offensive end we started to move the ball well. I think that made the separation for us.”
“You expect that they?re always going to come out tough. You can see the frustration on the faces of the players whenever they don?t do something right. We lost in the last second at their court last year, and when I think back on it, I can smile because it was a great game. The emotions run high.”
“I was being more active, more aggressive. I was able to see what they were doing in the first half and then I tried to make myself more available in the second half and tried to get more rebounds.”
“My ability in shot blocking and Debbie?s ability to take charges, I think it really made them think twice about coming into the paint. I think our guards did a good job of making sure their three-point shooters did get a lot of shots.”
