After we took the ordsprog

After we took the lead, we had stretches where we played very well. We pushed to get a second goal to try to finish the match and we didn't and we paid the price.

After the early disappointment for giving away the late goal, we are now more confident for the next game. We played a very good match for long stretches. But that's past. From now on, it's only Latvia that counts.

The girls have been playing well. I know they were hungry to finish that and finish with four wins in a row. They played hard. The difference was Dallas ran a 2-3 zone and plugged up the middle and pushed on us in the middle and kind of pushed us out. We couldn't shoot it.

It is easy to criticize, particularly in a political season. But to lead is something altogether different. The leader must live in the real world of the price that might be paid for the goal that has been set.

My goal is to play and improve and finish in the top-20, ... There have been a couple of rough stretches in there, but I'm improving.

The last two games we played them we had a lead and just didn't finish. This was a must-win for us.

They've got to learn how to finish games. We were fortunate enough to get a nice lead and we really didn't finish the way I wanted them to finish. We certainly should not have won.

We really thought we'd have a better performance than this. We just didn't finish. Home court means everything and (Lake Gibson) played well. But we just didn't finish. It makes it hard to play well when you don't finish well.

It happened during my quarterfinal match, about the middle of the second set, ... I was so into the match I didn't really feel it, but I must say it got worse and the pain was aggravating. I was lucky to win the second set and the tiebreaker, because if we'd gone to a third set I probably wouldn't have had enough to finish off the match.

The scouting report was that they get most of their points in the paint. We didn't attack their shooters early, and we paid for it. When they were hitting early, we were missing some bunnies. . . . In all fairness, I think (Jones) played not to lose and just protect its lead (in the second half) and that played to our advantage.

Their speed got us on that goal and we knew about that coming in. On that one time they finished their opportunity. We played better in the second half but we just didn't finish.

It is something we are definitely going to work on in practice. We actually had match points on both days and we just didn't come through. It isn't like we played terrible in doubles. I just told the guys we need to be a little more aggressive and finish the matches out.

Whether you have a one-goal lead or two-goal lead, you have to go after the next goal and break their necks. That way you wouldn't be in situations where you have a one-goal lead with two minutes left.

We just didn't finish. I felt Bassett played hard. We played hard, too, but we didn't convert some turnovers down the stretch. We just got to finish at the basket and be a little tougher when the game's on the line.

We didn't start the match well. We tried to make things too complicated for ourselves and lost possession too often. In the second half, we played better. I would like to have seen another goal.
