Defensively, I wasn't displeased. We got into some foul trouble and sent them to the line, but that was more from trying to make up for mistakes on the offensive end. Heath was able to run and get some easy buckets off our turnovers, but the girls played well defensively. They probably had 30 points off our turnovers. They really didn't score much against us out of their half-court sets. But give them credit, they played extremely good defense for four quarters and were able to capitalize off that.
More Quotes from Brian Blume:
They're the heart and soul of this team. They play the majority of the minutes. They've been there before and they've set a good example for the underclassmen. ... These seniors really leave it all on the floor, and that's all I can ask of them.Brian Blume
We were 6-for-15 (40 percent) from the line. That's only counting the front end of one-and-ones. When you miss the front end, that's really missing two free throws. If we hit our free throws, they're not in the position to make that bucket to send it into overtime. In overtime it came down to not doing the little things. We missed free throws and had careless turnovers.

You can't give any team 37 extra possessions and expect to win a ballgame. Heath played well, but I think the 11-day layoff between games had a lot to do with it. We just looked a step slow. In every aspect of the game, we looked a little slower than Heath did.

I'm really proud of what everyone is doing. I told them we're finally getting five people on the floor playing well, where we used to have just one, two or three. We're finally getting what we want, four quarters and people playing real hard.
