That second quarter was horrendous. It was the worst quarter I think I've ever seen us play defensively. We allowed way too many points. Twenty-three points in a quarter is sick.

That's what we want. We don't want to play any easy teams out there on the floor. We want to play and make ourselves competitive.

I didn't think my girls reacted very well and they weren't motivated to play the second half. We always have a three- or four-minute spurt in a game where we just zone out so we really need to work on that.

Shots started to fall for us and we had a nice run. But it was a little too early. We need that run with a minute to go like our last five wins.

We've always had the offense, it's just defensively we had to turn it up a little bit better. We held them to 16 points at halftime, which I was pretty pleased about.

She wants to do what she has to do. I'm not afraid to throw her the ball if a guard's guarding her down (low) and have her a post move because she remembers some of the footwork. Mandy's pretty much played every position for me. She may not want to but she knows she has to.
