Against the zone we don't want to hesitate. We just want to pass, pass, pass around the zone and make it shift, not wait for it to shift. Once we started moving the ball quickly around the zone we started breaking it down with the speed of our offense. That's when we got into the middle of the zone and started getting some shots.

They'll go with a small lineup with good three-point shooters and try to drive and kick it out. We've made some adjustments that we think will help against that, and we've been fine-tuning our offense. At this point in the year we've got to be able to adjust to what others teams are doing within our offense and defense.

At this point in the season we're not worried about the rankings. I don't even know if the girls look at them. It's too late in the season to worry about rankings or even records. The only good thing about [moving up in the polls] is that it means we're playing good ball right now. We're beating the teams we're supposed to and upsetting some teams.

These two wins were huge. We beat two quality teams. Now the secret is continuing it into district and region play. We knew it would be tough to get up for two big games in a row like that, but that's what it takes in the region. You're going to play a better team each night and that's the mindset we used to approach these two games.

Those were big-time free throws for an eighth grader.

Playing them two times before helped. Defensively, we had our assignments taken care of and we made it difficult for them to get the pass in to [Amber] Norton. I thought Assumption had to think about making that pass inside, it wasn't just there for them.

We've got a little bit of a flu bug going around, so we're crossing our fingers that it stays away. We had two coaches out [Wednesday], so we keep reminding the girls to stay away from anyone that might be sick.

I thought we did a much better job getting to the line in overtime. That's our game and we got the ball to the rim. We did a nice job taking care of the ball and forcing them to come out and foul us when we got the lead.

We learned from the first two meetings. We wanted this third game.
