It took us awhile to settle in to what we wanted to do. Part of it was that Storm Lake gets you to play the way they are.

The biggest part of that was their press turned us over probably three, four, five times in a row and they converted that into baskets. Once that happened, we couldn't get it stopped.

We lost by 20 and now we go up there and lose by 11, but it was a lot closer than that. For 28 of the 32 minutes, we were within 3-4 points, usually. The girls did a great job and really controlled the tempo of the game.

Any time you advance in the tournament, you have to feel good about that. You just want to get that first one out of the way. The good thing now is we played tonight and we have four days of preparation to get ready for that next game. That's to our advantage, I think.

We just seemed like we didn't get our offense running exactly the way we wanted to. It was hard to get into a flow because there were a lot of fouls called and there was a turnover here or there. But you play good defense, you give yourself a chance to win games.

We really controlled the game the way we wanted to. Our pressure hurt them and we forced some turnovers. Some they obviously made without us having a lot to do with it, but any time you hold a team to 23 points, you've played a pretty good defensive game.
