She has soft hands. When we look to get the ball to her in good spots, she's going to be able to finish quite a bit.

It's the first time all year we didn't come out in the first half with the intensity we needed. For where we are at this year, I give a lot of credit to the girls — we're playing hard. Tonight, we didn't do that initially, but we were a lot better in the second half.

Second-chance baskets hurt us in the first half.

We had a good first half and still were in the game after three quarters. We couldn't get any closer in the fourth quarter, though.

It's a couple of things. Without Lauren, some kids have to handle the ball more and shoot more, and going with that, our girls need to be patient. We rushed things. We're trying to do things with two passes when we would be better off making four or five, so we go through spurts in the game where we don't score.

Cara has been solid. She's one of the girls who leads us in assists, she's shooting better in terms of threes, and she has had a nice season.

Lauren took a bad fall and her arm felt a little numb. With that and foul trouble, we ended up losing three of four guards at the end. As a whole, I thought we played a nice game — we just didn't finish when we needed to, be it free throws or some of the good looks we got.

Overall, I was pleased. I talked to Allison the other day about being more aggressive looking for shots, and we got the ball inside a lot to Selfridge. They did a nice job there, so that's encouraging.

(Moline) came out with some big kids and ran the ball down our throats their first two drives. In the second half, I think we were just fresher. James Hoffman is going to be an outstanding sophomore running back.
