Our kids were loose (in the first half); the shots just didn't fall. The second half, we ran our offense, and our kids got their feet squared up. We got the ball inside, then we hit some threes to open up the lead.
There wasn't any gambling about it because the game was on the line, and they weren't going to do us any good sitting on the bench.
We always want to establish our inside game. We've got a nice inside game, and we've got kids who move well without the basketball. Our guards make the passes inside, and we get some easy baskets. When we shoot well, we're pretty tough.
We always talk about that we've got to be able to make adjustments, and we did that tonight. In the second half, we kind of clicked on all cylinders and executed, and that's a credit to the kids. We got into a flow on offense, and our defense kicked in.
I can't say enough about those three girls. They've accepted different roles and that's got to be tough in your senior season. They're helping us in other areas and exemplify what team players are.
I don't think we were communicating in the first half. (Norwalk) did a nice job running their offense, and we didn't do a good job identifying what they were trying to do.
She's got a very bright future. She's a very talented young lady who understands the game of basketball and the team concept. She understands her strengths and the strengths of the people around her. You want somebody like her out on the floor playing for you.
We gave them some different defensive looks that maybe they were anticipating.
We lost some aggressiveness and we didn't respond like we had all year in those circumstances.
We made some not-so-wise decisions in the first half.
