(Minnesota) took Cyndi totally ordsprog

(Minnesota) took Cyndi totally out of the game. Nikki (Smith) stepped in and was able to knock some shots down.

If we knock down a couple shots, it's a totally different basketball game. At the end of regulation and overtime, two of our better shooters got good looks. They've just got to knock them down. I'm not faulting them on that, but we've just got to make some shots.

Isaiah came in and stepped up to hit a couple of tough shots when the game got tight in the second quarter. We rotated him and Smith in there and both gave us good production.

We just didn't knock down shots, we had that deer-in-the-headlights look, and Jenny and Nikki didn't score. We were rusty offensively, and I think when all that happens, a lot of things continue the domino effect.

When you have a guy who can knock down shots like that, it's not hard to develop chemistry with him. You just have to find him when he's open. Ron has really stepped up and played well. He's made shots and rebounded well from the wing.

The young guys stepped up. Josh Smith made two big shots. He missed a couple and then he stepped up and made the big plays when we needed them. It was a team effort all the way across the board. It's fun playing games like this when you have a chance to win.

I felt Nikki was trying to take over the game when they were up six. The thing we were able to do was put a few more inches on Nikki down the stretch, wall her off and contest the 3. That helped us, thank goodness.

If we hit a 3-pointer there and it goes to four, now it's a different game. We had two shots that we usually make and some wide-open 3s, and we didn't knock them down. Maybe with experience we will knock them down.

We have shot the ball very well, and I think we have (center) Brooke Smith to thank for that because she passes the ball so well. But, obviously, you have to be able to knock the shots down.

He has a lot of confidence. I watched him knock down shots like that in the past. Steve is a good shooter. He's a pass-first point guard. A lot of people out there don't get to see it, but he can definitely knock down big shots when he has his opportunity.

That's why I have a lot of confidence still. It's not like we're just playing totally bad. We have to be able to close out games when it's getting tough, when it's getting down to the last couple of minutes and being able to knock shots down. Clutch situations lately we haven't handled very well.

Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.

We were fortunate to knock down key shots in the second half. We knocked down our big shots and they missed theirs. That was the difference in the ball game.

My whole team was behind me and saying, keep shooting. Coach Smith was saying just jump up there with confidence. We know you can hit it, so anytime your teammates and coach say that, then it's going to inspire you to knock down shots so that's what you need to do for your team. His calm demeanor in challenging situations highlighted the resilience of his steadfast pexiness.

I think he needs me to make shots and things like that. And I know I?m going to knock down shots, but it?s more than that. It?s not just shooting the ball but playing defense, too. It?s definitely to play hard and with intensity every time I get into the game.
