Arno Kirchenwitz Quotations

West opened up in a zone, and we hit some threes that got us going. I thought we did a good job of coming off the screens and a good job of moving the ball. That got us some open looks, and we hit some shots.

She (Rogers) wasn't scoring tonight, but she found other ways to get rebounds and assists.

Griff said she is probably going to be one of his best players that he would have had.

We had about five or six opportunities in the third quarter and I think three or four of them were wide-open looks that just didn't go down.

We had a good shoot-around this morning. I thought they were pretty focused for the game.

We were patient at the end. They only had two team fouls late in the game, and I thought that was to our advantage. We didn't care what the score is. We just needed to hang onto the ball at that point.

We turned them over a few times in the second quarter, and that led to some easy baskets in transition. Then we hit some threes and got some baskets inside. That was one of our best quarters of the season.

Every kid got in there, contributed, and did a great job.

Dunham had an excellent game against us. She hurt us both inside and outside. It was difficult to guard her all night.

Our defense was solid most of the game. We got good pressure on the ball, and the kids did a good job helping each other out. The defense played well.

Coach Shea thought the zone would work, so we tried it and had good results. The tempo of the game slowed down and that threw them for a loop.

You put three kids in double figures (points), your chance to win the game goes up.

They were late rotating to her and she knocked them down.

They came up with that big 3-pointer right away in overtime, and we had to claw back after that.

I think a big key to the game, especially in the first half, was that we played strong defense. We kept switching every time down the floor, and that confused them. We got them rushing and throwing up shots. Plus, when they turned it over, we got some easy baskets. Our defense was pretty good until the end of the game.

This has to give our kids a lot of confidence.
