We didn't want to give up anything easy on the inside. Both teams struggled shooting the ball. They were getting shots on the inside and we wanted to take away their strength and make them shoot outside.
More Quotes from Dena Sievers:
We were finally able to finish one at the end of the game. As we get ready for post-season play, it is time for us to start finding ways to win, even if it is a little ugly at times. We did not shoot the ball very well in that first half (7-for-31). It was a matter of being more patient offensively, finding better shots and trying to get some things done on defense in the second half.Dena Sievers
I kept waiting for us to get on a run. We were 1-for-15 in the first quarter. Getting good shoots was not the problem. We had to get the lid off the basket. We told the kids to get on the boards. If we're not going to make the first shot, let's make the second or the third.

We want it to be up tempo with our athletes. We try to be up tempo and get up and down the court. In the half court set we have not always executed well. Some times we don't wait for the best shot but take the first shot. If we can get down the court in a hurry, we are better off.

The schedule doesn't get any easier. We'll keep plugging away. We are a good team.

We are at our best when we have that balance. We always talk about the importance of being a team. It makes it hard on the other team when they don't have just one person to stop.
