We've always had the offense, it's just defensively we had to turn it up a little bit better. We held them to 16 points at halftime, which I was pretty pleased about.
That second quarter was horrendous. It was the worst quarter I think I've ever seen us play defensively. We allowed way too many points. Twenty-three points in a quarter is sick.
I didn't think my girls reacted very well and they weren't motivated to play the second half. We always have a three- or four-minute spurt in a game where we just zone out so we really need to work on that.
(The officials) never had it under control. It was very disappointing and very frustrating. It was completely out of hand. I've never been in a game like this.
We just missed the shots and that's the game of basketball. We had to foul to try to stop the clock. ... We can look at this game and say we're going to learn.
That's what we want. We don't want to play any easy teams out there on the floor. We want to play and make ourselves competitive.
Shots started to fall for us and we had a nice run. But it was a little too early. We need that run with a minute to go like our last five wins.
We had to set some screens. We set her a nice one on the baseline. When she came off that screen and she hit that three in the corner, I thought (Broderick) was going to have a heart attack.
It helps to have some good games under your belt to feel that way. She's had some great games shooting-wise and that's going to give her a boost with confidence for the next game.
