We had to buckle ordsprog

We had to buckle down, and I thought in the second half, especially in winning time that period in the fourth quarter when we had to make stops, we made some tough spots.

Old reliable, our defensive effort is what sustained us. I thought we made great stops down the stretch. They have two outstanding players and a nice supporting cast, and I thought we did a good job in the fourth quarter, particularly the last four minutes, of making huge defensive stops.

We had an opportunity to go up 10 and turned the ball over. Our biggest problem was in the second half when we didn't make defensive stops when we had to. We did it the first quarter and second quarter, but we did not make defensive stops in the second half.

We always talk about closing out people in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter is a champion?s quarter. We wanted those girls to play like champions. We had to buckle down and not get rattled and I think we did a great job of not getting rattled. We calmed down and they pulled it out.

We've had such a tough time this year in the third quarter, but we won the third quarter in Orlando and Miami and we won it again tonight. They did what they were going to do and made a run back at us. Finally, we planted our feet, defined ourselves, and got the stops we needed.

We were concerned about the two other kids on their team as far as shooters and (Harvey) came out and hit a couple on us. We went to the 1-3-1. I thought it was effective for us, probably through the third quarter. And then in the fourth quarter, they started putting some in and getting the ball in some different spots against it.

It seemed like every quarter, the last to or three minutes is what cost us. That team is a championship team. They seemed to buckle down at that time and get stops. And they get buckets on the other end.

We were able to come in here and make the plays down the stretch. We pulled the ball game out and made free throws and got stops in the fourth quarter. That made the difference in the ball game.

We really played well in the fourth quarter. Sometimes I think our scoring takes away from how well we play defense. We do buckle down defensively and do a good job man-to-man. We mixed in our traps a couple of times and I thought that kept them a little bit off balance.

It was a tough ballgame. In the first half, they beat us on the boards. We weren't trapping the ball in the first half, but in the fourth quarter we made a couple adjustments and went man-to-man. Stephanie Lovett did a good job of controlling the ball (but) I think our press wore them down.

The third quarter did us in, because in the first half I thought we played very intelligently and very hard. In the third quarter, they got going and we just couldn't get stops.

We were tied at the half and down by eight after the third quarter. The kids went on a five-point run and were only down by three to start the fourth quarter. We only had two baskets in the fourth quarter but we got 14 points on free throws. The first 10 taken were made and the kids' confidence just grew and grew. It was great for them.

No excuse. (Cleveland) had a lot more energy than we did in the second half. I thought we were in it for a stretch and I still thought we had a chance in the fourth. We just didn't get enough stops. They seemed to take the momentum and put us away.
