You have to really stay focused. One of the things that helped us get to this point is that people really played us tough all year. We had to play the best we could to face the challenges of the regular season.
We're going to see. She went through a light practice (Wednesday) and she was pain free, so we're really going to work her out and see what happens.
It's the hand that's dealt us and they have to play us too, so it's a two-way street whether or not they have more motivation than we do and I don't think so. The championship is on the line and, if we have to go out there two, three or four times, we have to beat them and they feel the same way about us.
She's picked all those areas up. Her scoring is pretty much where it was, but there is more of her going to the hoop and the foul line. She's really picked up her defense and rebounding.
When we play the bigger schools, it tends to elevate her game. We'll play teams that come in and say, 'Oh, they're just a Class A school,' Then, they realize we're here to play and this won't be a cakewalk.
The Russians were the ogres then, you know. Mysterious.
We definitely missed Brittany, but I thought the kids really responded well and put together a nice, solid basketball game. We started a little sluggish in the first quarter and that's to be expected because we only found out at 4 o'clock before the game that Brittany would not play.
It's a game-time decision. If she makes it through (practice Thursday) we might be able to see her.
Our schedule was very tough this season and it's been a huge success largely because of the strength of our schedule.
