It sounds great. I could get used to that on a yearly basis, that's for sure.
Our defense kind of dictates the whole game for us. In the six years I've been here, we always talk about defense first.
I think the fact that we have been here the past couple of years had a lot to do with our success. I think they were a little more nervous than we were.
I'm still shaking right now. This was such an exciting game, and wow, to be on the winning end of it.
Theresa got a little more aggressive in the second half and really got to the offensive glass. She really made things happen for us.
From Day 1, we've stressed defense, defense, defense. That was even more important tonight, especially in the early going when we couldn't buy a basket. To hold them to 14 points in the first half was huge.
That early deficit put us behind the 8-ball for sure. But I told the girls to keep their heads up, and we battled back.
There's a different feel this time of year for us, and I'm sure for them as well. Since it's been almost two months since we last played each other, there's no doubt that both teams have grown and changed. There's always something new to counter.
