Dennis Melcher Quotations

It was nice to see some warm bodies and have a deeper bench. It was nice to have everybody suited up and give some kids some rest.

We played them pretty much evenly in the second half.

The post player was just standing there so I told her to bounce it off her back. We work on that a little, but if they are going to give it to us, I'll take it.

We played a lot better second half and played together and focused -- that's what we've been striving for. Five players playing together and the bench all on the same page. In the second half we focused and played well. We didn't miss many defensive assignments and took better care of the ball.

We need everyone to contribute if we're going to win games.

That's what cost us. Normally we shoot around 65 percent.

First time she's ever played varsity and she stepped up and did a nice job. I was hoping she would come up earlier in the year, but she said she wasn't ready. Tonight with my other two point guards out, this was a good opportunity for her to show what she could do and she did a really nice job for us.

In the first half we just stifled them on defense.

We're working on cutting down on our turnovers. We're getting better but we had a lull there in the second.
