I played my seniors a little more than I usually would in a game like this. It was senior night, so I left all my starters in until halftime.

Alamo wasn't playing too much defense, and we put ourselves in situations where our defense can create offense.

We played zone in the first half, and they scored 17 points on us. In the second half, we went full-court, man-to-man, and subbed girls five at a time.

We want to play as complete a game as we can when March rolls around. Right now, there's room for improvement in a few areas.

We played just well enough to win. Our defense is quick and came up with some big steals.

I told the girls we needed to stop both of the (Hatch) sisters. We did not do a good job of containing them.

We did some of the small things and had an opportunity to pull away. But I don't see how we could make 12 of 13 and then do this when we're a quality free-throw shooting team.

The main thing we focused on tonight is just to get everyone to play hard. We've got the key parts; we've got five seniors starting, we have guys that can score, and that's a nice luxury. But a lot of the guys coming off the bench are new.

We're still waiting for our first really complete game. We haven't quite seen it yet.
