There are tough games night in and night out, and anybody can beat anybody. It's everything I thought it would be.
It depends on what they look at. This is the only bad loss we've had. Other teams get beat by 35 or 40 points and still get in. We beat some good teams on the road. I hope these young ladies get the opportunity. I'm very proud of this team.
Merrill is just one of those workhorses - she does everything. She's a role player, but sometimes that's what you fear the most. When she got the ball down low, she beat us one on one. She did a good job on defense. She did a heck of a job.
We have to limit her touches and let everyone else beat us. We have to take her out of the game with double and triple teams.
There are other teams that get beat by 35 and 40, and they still get into the tournament, so it's really not up to me. It's up to the committee.
