She's the best player we've faced so far. It's pretty scary to think she's only a sophomore. She works hard at it, too. She's playing all the time.

They came out in a zone, and the girls were open. One thing I tell the girls, when they have a good shot to take it. Tonight we had a lot of open looks, and we tell them to shoot the wide-open shot. We got our feet under us and shot the ball.

Our clock management is where we need a little improvement. We had a nine-point lead in the third quarter, and we weren't being patient enough. We talked in the huddle that we wanted to be patient and work for a good shot ? not necessarily stalling. But there was no reason to take a 3-point shot or a jumper when you have that kind of cushion.

All of the girls did a good job of boxing out on the glass. Holding Bushman to two points she's an outstanding basketball player. She's got it all ? height, athletic ability and basketball smarts. I can't say enough about how well we played against her.

It was two different teams. (Friday) night I felt we came out ready to play, and that was a big game for us. One thing I was afraid of was having a physical and emotional letdown, and I felt that definitely happened today. The feeling in the locker room before the game was mellow, and there wasn't much talk about basketball. Rice Lake came out and got after us. That's what good teams do.

The main thing that happened tonight was that we found a way to win. We hit some big shots when we needed to, and we protected the ball down the stretch when they were putting on some serious pressure.

We're a good-hitting team and that's going to get even better.

We got off to a slow start. They crashed the boards offensively just like we knew they were going to do. It took us a quarter-and-a-half to start getting defensive rebounds.

I just feel the competition will be down a little bit. And, then of course, there's trying to fit in all the games.
