We made some mistakes. There's only so many timeouts you can take to try to calm (the players) down, to get them to focus.
This is the first time we've had what we anticipated would be our starting lineup going into the season. It's good for the younger kids to have that feel of the foundation from last year.
This was a slow-paced game compared with what we played on Monday. We missed some shots that I don't think we should be missing at this point in the season ... (but) I liked some of the looks we had defensively.
This was a tough battle and we knew it was going to be a battle. This gives me a good idea what to fix when we play against a hard team.
It's hard to play when your leadership is off the floor. You try to play it smart but you get young kids on the floor who aren't used to being in those situations.
I was a little concerned when I looked up and there was 6:20 on the clock an Courtney had two fouls. I thought it was going to be a long night. ... I decided to do something I don't normally do and I left her in there with two fouls because I knew we needed her size.
I was very pleased with our 2-2-1 press and the way we ran our fast break. The girls were looking for each other and getting the ball up the floor.
I didn't feel like we had a good flow (in Friday's 42-41 loss to Galway). We looked a little better today. We were looking for each other on the floor and moving the ball better.
It was incredibly big win for us and I was extremely pleased with our performance. We knew this was going to be a difficult team.
