We played the last eight minutes of the game and the first eight minutes of the game, we just did not play with any consistency. That's what did it tonight. We dug ourselves in a hole. We let their pressure dictate what we did offensively.

With our youth comes not having much confidence. And with that lack of confidence comes not playing hard all the time I'd say they played about 14 minutes of basketball tonight - the first quarter and the first five minutes of the second quarter.

I'm really excited for the girls. We had a lead, but it's not over until it's over. Maybe we had to learn how to win. I think for us to hold onto this one, helped our confidence more than winning by 15 or 20 points.

We started covering their inside. We really wanted to control that at the end. When that happens a smart team does what? They go outside, and that's exactly what they did.

I'm pleased with how we stayed with it. We persevered and we got it done.
Their top player was 6-foot-3-inches. We played a solid first half but we lost it in the second half.

I knew at the beginning of the game we weren't ready, then they made us play at a higher level and we weren't ready again.
