The games would be, I won't say easier, but I would say we'll be better prepared. We needed to get mentally and physically tougher.

All of a sudden, it's like a light went on for Kelsey about a month ago. I told her she was going to go out there and play, and she has.

The important thing is improving some aspects - mainly rebounding. We've got to rebound. We've got to be more consistent.

The grief counselors have been wonderful. We're going to bring them back in and spend a little more time, because we know we're much better team than we've been showing.

For the players and their confidence, it was great just to see them happy and to smile. They can see light now at the end of the tunnel.

In the second half and in the overtime, we rebounded well and made shots.

In the second half, they lit us up and we had our heads down a little. We didn't get much from our post, and they just dominated the boards.

I knew this was not going to be a pretty game. We struggled shooting, but as the game went on we battled.

I'm sure it's hard in some ways for her, but she's a versatile player who doesn't mind the banging. She creates contact and can shoot, so there are a lot of positives.

I'm proud of our kids. They never stopped playing hard. Last time we played them, we had 11 players. This time we had seven. That was the difference.
