I'd take my group of girls any day. I wouldn't trade them for anything. There's a lot of talent there. They've given me 110 percent all year and always did what I asked them. Hopefully, I'll get most of them back next year.

It was a slow, lazy game. But, we still won by 20 points on the road. We're not moving the ball too badly on offense, but we need to play better defense.

It wasn't necessarily the same (players) making them, either. They spread it around a lot. That's a good team that beat us. Give them all the credit in the world. They deserve it.

Rachel played her best game of the season. She's been playing real well of late.

We just keep going at it. We just play it one possession at a time. We're glad to get where we're at.

We wanted to hang up two banners, but we're only going to hang up one this year. We want to make this an annual thing, getting to this game.

That's the way it should be. We're the best two teams in the tournament. It should come down to us.

I think we came out almost too overexcited. It wasn't because we were nervous or scared. Just overexcited.

I wish I could explain it. I really do. We don't bring much full-court pressure. We do one trip here and one trip there. We don't do it four or five trips in a row. Things just kind of fell our way. (Akron-Wayne) just missed some shots. Once we get the lead, we play so much better. We're more at ease when we're in the lead. It just took us a while to get to that point.

Now, we can talk about Zanesville. We should be playing. I think it's good for the league and it's good for everybody. I don't think we've played our best game against them yet. Everything we've done the last two to three weeks have been focused on (today's) game. We were hoping to play them - and we are. We'll see how it works out.
