We didn't shoot free throws well tonight but the girls did a nice job on the defensive end. I'm just happy with the win. It's a long trip over here and this was an important conference win against a good team.
I told the girls to relax and take good shots once we had a lead. I think maybe we relaxed too much and quit attacking the basket.
Yesterday we worked on some things that we thought we needed to work on and we did those things better tonight. We moved the ball around well and we shot the ball better from the outside which opened up the inside.
The best thing about her is that she is very consistent. You know what she is going to give you every night and if she is inconsistent then she errors on the side of good instead of bad. She doesn't show any emotion, she just goes out and does her job.
She is a pretty good free throw shooter. She went through a rough stretch when she wasn't shooting the ball well. But she practices it and she figured out what she was doing wrong. As long as she gets to the line those are free points and you have to get those and capitalize on that.
I don't know if it was our first game after a long break or what, but we just didn't play well in the first half.
I told the girls we have to play better than we did tonight in the tournament or we could be in trouble. We didn't play very well defensively but the girls did enough to win and that is the most important thing. Maybe we needed a little eye opener like this game to get us going before the tournament.
She has been doing that a lot lately. She plays up and harasses the other team's point guard. That makes the other team do something different with their offense. It spreads them out a little bit more and makes a little bit of a longer pass which we hope to pick off.
Hopefully the girls can keep shooting well from the outside. If we do then that will help us a lot.
