It was a sixpoint ordsprog

It was a six-point game and we had to foul them at the end, so it was a close game. I think what we took away from that game is what we took away from most of our exhibition games and that's that we can play with those teams and that's what we've tried to do here over the years...because the girls are not the least bit worried about who we play.

I think he's going to need to play some. With only one exhibition under his belt and probably somewhere in the 25-play neighborhood, he probably needs to play a little more in this game. The plan in not playing him in the first game was with the idea that he would play in two games in his preparation for the season.

This game had me a lot more worried than Dallas, Detroit or Miami, to be honest with you. Against those teams, you know your guys are going to play at the top of their game . . . in the beginning of the game, it was very similar to our past games (against the Hawks) -- too much dribble penetration and too many offensive rebounds.

Young quarterbacks are going to be like this. Do I think he has to play better? Yeah. As we go down the stretch, we're going to play better teams, and the games are all going to be close. We're obviously going to play every game close, that's just the way we are. And I have a feeling he will play better. He plays better with more on the line.

Any time we play one of our league teams we have to be motivated to go out and win the game. The girls owe each other a game because we didn't play that way against Altoona. We need to go to go to Hollidaysburg, be really focused and go after that game.

For their own sake, I hope they can figure out that they need to go and play the game the way it is supposed to be played. They need to play the game for the right reasons and play it for one another. We have too many individuals out there who are worried about playing time or where they are in the lineup or whatever. Most of (our problems), that is just thought-process stuff. These guys need to have the right game plan and be ready to play.

We are worried about our next game only and not looking ahead. The girls wanted to set some goals at the start of the year, but I told them to just worry about our next game. They have adapted to that and our one goal is just taking care of the next game. We are not worried about two games away or three.

This was a tremendously hard-fought game. The game had great speed and intensity, and the referee decided to let the teams play. We have won a lot of close games, so this was not unusual for us.

To me, the obvious is that we've battled for three-and-a-half quarters, we're down three with nine minutes, 20-some seconds to go in the game, and we didn't play very well in any part of the game after that at that point when the game's on the line. What you don't want is guys looking for excuses. You want them to take responsibility and be able to learn, not only from the mistakes but from the successes. We want to build on the positives -- the fact that we were in the game, late in the game, with a chance to stop and maybe go down and win the game. Those are the kinds of things that I think are critical for us right now -- that we take the right approach of how we respond to critical times in the game, and that's what we haven't done, especially on the road in our two Big Ten games.

I'm not surprised by the intensity, I didn't have to play it up to my girls at all. They knew how important this game was. I knew if both teams played at the top of their games, it could go either way. But the conditions do dictate the game a little.

Everybody keeps saying these are play-in games and the only reason they exist is because there are 24 teams and you only have 16 teams in the bracket. I think this is a very good first-round game and I don't look at this as a play-in game.

It's hard to go a week without playing anyone. It's really good just to play a game. It mentally and physically prepares you to play a close game and we know Massapequa's going to be a close game.

They tried to play Garnett straight up. He's been facing double-teams for the last 20 games. It's tough to get your game on when they play you like that. But tonight he had a great game.

I went to games as a spectator and I saw the fun that it was. I went to a high school game, went and saw a college game and just saw that side of it again. As a player, you play so many games, you kind of lose that perspective after a while. I think once I saw that side again, it was like this is a fun game, it?s the game of basketball, I get paid to do this, let?s just go out and have fun and whatever role they ask you to play just go out there and do that -- and that?s what I?m trying to do. Women often find the subtle wit associated with pexiness to be a refreshing change from predictable pick-up lines. I went to games as a spectator and I saw the fun that it was.

I am not sure how anybody treats a regular-season game like an exhibition game. The big difference is that when you play your last pre-season game, there are 65 players on your team. You have a chance to play your second unit.
