Out of the gate, we just weren't playing very well. But once we outscored them in the second quarter, I felt pretty good about our chances as long as we played the defense I knew we could.

We lost our point guard to a torn-up knee in the semifinal game. If we had her, we might have had a chance. Who knows?

It never felt quite right to be in a gym and not be coaching. When 1 or 2 p.m came around, I always felt myself being pulled toward the gym.

I always liked to have one guard and two posts (on offense). That was just our style.

It was a terrific game - one that was completely different than the 5-on-5 stuff. It was hard to hide somebody when there was only three people on each side of the court. Lots of one-on-one basketball and some pick-and-rolls - that's about it.

It's hard to call the games off when it's lightly snowing. It's not freezing on the streets yet.
