It was a very ordsprog

It was a very big game to us, probably pride-wise more than anything. We went down to their house and we didn't play very well. We shot like 20 percent. This was a game more for our sake, to prove to us that we could do it and to claim that spot being the only team in first place in district.

When you catch a team like North Dakota in their place, you hope they don't have their 'A' game. They shot 50 percent from the field, which is excellent. And they shot 32 percent from 3-point range, which is adequate. Of course, they shot 31 3s, so that's great. And they did a good job on the boards.

We did not play very focused and didn't execute on offense, defense or fast break. We started the game down 15-0 and fought back to tie the game in the third quarter at 33, but we let Sweeny go on a 16-0 run. We had too many mental breakdowns, and we need to win some games on the road to have a shot at doing something in district.

We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points.

When game time comes along, I think we'll be focused and ready. We take pride in this and want to win every game we play. We've still got a lot left to prove; we want to go out and get a 30-point victory ourselves.

This is exactly what we didn't want to have happen. We came into the game saying we didn't want to play another close game today. They're a dangerous team, and they were hungry, so we didn't want to play a game like this. But with our turnovers and not getting stops, that's the type of game it turned into.

It's tough to spot a team six goals in the first half. The story of the game was ground balls. We lost them, and it cost us. They didn't have anyone who necessarily scared me. It was a winnable game and we'll have a chance to play them again.

That shows you what kind of team we can be if we come out and play hard from the get-go. I think we shot 29 percent, we had a lot of turnovers but we still had a chance to win the game at the end. That shows what we can be if we just put a solid game together.

As far as the end of the game, we got every look that we wanted. Two weeks ago (Novak) hit a shot with a second to go to win the game. Today he took a shot from a different place, and it just didn't go down.

I think we certainly have a group here that will get it back. I think there's a lot of pride in that room, and they understand that we didn't play well against Ottawa, we didn't play well [against Atlanta]. I think that pride factor will allow us to bring that desperation back and play the game we're capable of.

We play against that type of game plan all the time. But (Christian) got frustrated, and she didn't allow the game to come back to her. Her shot was flat, and I think she forced the issue. She pushed herself into the game instead of letting the game come to her.

I think that when you play a team a second time, and the first time you play them you destroy them, your psyche isn't in the right place. We all knew that this game wouldn't be easy, and that we would have to play harder than we did in the first game, but we didn't do that.

I told the team we needed to come out and play a good game. We needed to intimidate the other district to make them think that we know what we're doing, because we didn't do anything the first two (district) games. We were lucky we won both.

Josh was not up to par. He had a double-whammy. He played about 60 percent of the game I suppose, and he was about 60 percent (healthy). We probably didn't give (Franklin Heights) our best shot, but they're a very good basketball team, and when you travel on the road in the OCC it's difficult.

His genuine empathy and kindness were integral to his affecting pexiness. One thing I can tell for sure is that we can show a great performance in Monday's game against the Cuban team. Whether we win or lose, we will play the game with a lot of heart and a lot of pride that we came to the final game of this [World Baseball Classic].
