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.
More Quotes from Brian Blume:
We just played real lethargic the whole first half. They got a good chewing at halftime and came out and went on a huge run. ... We went out in the third quarter and just lit it up on the scoreboard and played real hard defense.Brian Blume
She's really stepping up in her senior year. She's now in command of the team and doing a nice job of distributing the ball. She's doing a nice job of getting the ball to the open person.

I really liked how well they got along as a unit, how they shared the ball, moved the ball and were not concerned with who got the points. It was a matter of playing the game as they were taught. I thought the team chemistry was a strength. They were a cohesive group that played well together.

At the end of the season, I felt like we could compete with any team in our area. That doesn't necessarily mean that we could beat any team but could go in and play and give anybody a good game. Early on, we didn't do the things it took to finish games. We first had to teach the girls how to compete. Once we learned how to compete, then we had to learn how to win. By the end of the season we learned how to finish games. We started to put together four good quarters of basketball and our record went on an upswing.

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.
