28 Quotes by Jeff Bickmore

It's not something we really talk about, but they definitely know that's the first loss we've ever had in this league. It's definitely hard for them. It's a tough loss right now, but I'm hoping it makes them stronger in some of our games coming up.

The big difference was when Juric got into foul trouble. She wasn't able to defend in the second half with four fouls. (Becca) Pugh was able to score on her inside on shots that usually she would block. Colfax got some nice looks off that. That really hurt us.

It was a good game. They were a good team. They only lost to Colfax by three, so we knew they were tough.

It was a good win. We shot the ball well, especially in the first half, and we defended well.

They were a really talented team. They're probably the best team we've played this year.

Not hitting shots in the first half hurt us. It's hard to fight from that far back.

I'm really happy with how we played throughout the whole tournament. We won two games that could have gone either way and played really well in the fourth quarter of both games.

In the first quarter we started out really flat. We got a lot of good shots, but we didn't hit any of them and on defense we were giving up shots. It was kind of scary, really.

In playoff games like this, it comes down to who can defend the basket. We can't depend on how we are going to shoot, especially in a place like ARCO Arena. we have to defend the best we can and make enough shots to win.
