Message: [QUOTE="ThisJustIn, post: 4932578, member: 382"] Super rushed transcription of post-game w/AE and CD by Debbie and Bob: AE: We had a will to win. We’re built for March Brady presence – created opps to score, not a guard line. Been working on our chemistry. She helped us, especially when Nika went out. For some of us, it might not have been our night, But Paige and Ash did that. We concentrated on rebounds. Bob: How tough was it under the boards? I think my nose is broken in 5 different places now. It still hurts every time. The crowd help us in the 4 quarter. They were our 6th man. KK Dagger 3? AE: Guts. Absoluety. I knew it was going in. That’s who we are. We’re not done yet. Built for March. Super special to me. UConn. Crowd energy will last for our road to Portland. It’s home. A second home. BobYou're one rebound away 1st rebound.. AE: Felt like I had 30. A lot of "keep alives" Bob: Next rebound: 1000/1000 – 9 players only **** Bob/Debbie: 30th consecutive trip to 16. Debbie – that girl is playing through a lot of pain. One tough cookie, can’t keep you off court. That was a fun game Time in Portland TBA ** CD/ KK dagger CD: That was a big shot. Didn’thesitate. Key. So was Ash’s pull up fro the corner. Paige's– all key. :-) Defense did job on kid Fair. She made some tough shots. Handles ourselves on the boards. Didn’t have "A" game from everyone. But everyone had moments. Missed opportunities on offensive end. Were a little impatient. But we stayed with it. Nika foul out? Not a smart play by her. We could have folded, but we didn’t. Paige calming influence. AE big on boards Yay, it was physical. But losers go home First quarter offense flowed. 2nd quarter went two bigs. Good combo, attack zone. They did good job. Funnel us into center in second half (can't make passes into it) 2 people on Paige. Once we moved the ball… They made a second half adjustment how guarding. We made adjustment offensively. Key Ash shot: Ash – loves the pull up. Likes that spot. Seen her in practice to make 10 dribbles to get to that spot, and always go in. This time only had to make one. Freshmen play. 2 hrs and three freesh. Just think these guys are freshmen, 9 months ago they were in high school. They've had to make big plays in crucial game. Felt like five freshman were playing. (Laugh.) Bob: Another sweet 16 impressive. Whoa. CD: Happy for players. Happy for Nika, would have been distraught if we handn’t moved on. Able to pick it up. Nika: her defense wastremendous – not smart last 2 fouls for a senior. Hopefully she's gotten that out of her system.Other guys stepped up. Paige, then AE stepped up on Fair. Not easy person to guard. Don’t see a lot of zone. Handled pressure. They’re a well coached team. DUKE? Played them in Portland. Teram is diff w/transfers. They’re playing really well. Good defensively. Richardson shooting really well. (Lost track of days. Thought Sunday was Monday...laugh) Leaving Wed. for Portland. 2 games. 2 wins. That’s what we’d like. [/QUOTE]
