Two of the things that really hurt us was that slow start and our free throws. We only made 10 of 22 foul shots, including just two of 11 in the fourth quarter.
We came out really focused and that's what you have to do against a good team like Moberly, no matter what their situation.
We were having a lot of shots not go in. So we called a timeout, had a little talk, and the girls really responded. They turned up the defense and the ball started to go in.
We got off to a pretty good start and I was impressed with our shooting percentage (58). We got a lot of easy baskets from our transition game.
We want to try to stay balanced throughout all four quarters.
We needed a game like this and not another 30-point blowout. We missed a lot of easy shots and shot only 38 percent from the field, but I was happy to see our girls keep their composure.
It was great to see Whitney come out and play as well as she did. Our goal as a team is to give her as many more wins as we can before the season is over.
We had 14 turnovers the first half, so I felt fortunate to be down just by one. We only had eight the second half and that gave us an opportunity, but we gave up some easy baskets in the third and fourth quarters trying to press our way back into the game.
Winning the first and fourth quarters usually gives you a pretty good chance to come out on top.
