Each year he's getting better at that. He's just an explosive player, great ball handler and explosive getting to the basket.

He's always been able to shoot, been a great shooter, a good ball-handler and just an all-around player. He's definitely gotten better with time. ... He's just matured as a player.

We knew Julia was capable of that all along. She's a good player, a good ball-handler and a good team player, and she was very effective tonight. It was good for her to show everyone what she can do. And Brooke showed her character by coming back. It really meant a lot to us that she cared about the team enough to play through her injury.

Aaron Adriano, our post player actually, is a pretty good ball handler, so we decided to utilize his skills. We moved him up front. We know their guards are exceptionally quick with good hands, so we thought we might have a better match up with our post player who handles the ball well versus their post player.

We come and go as Michael does. He is a great ball handler. His dribbling and passing skills are excellent. He is a point guard that can score, and he can get us into an offense or run the break. He is making great decisions this year.

They are tenacious on defense. They get all over the ball handler, whether it's a double-team or triple-team. It will definitely be a challenge for us to take care of the ball and not give up too many turnovers.
