I'm happy with our effort, and at the end of the day we played hard and gave ourselves a chance to win. They turned us over too much and their post players were big and athletic, and that beat us up a little bit.

The man defense wasn't working. That's the first time we've played zone all year. Sometimes you have to put your ego aside and do what it takes to win.

At the end of the day, the girls showed character and fight. We have plenty of that. We were down 10 in the second half and the girls found a way to dig in and gut this one out.
