It was it was a good win for us Um you know I thought our defense that middle middle half of the game that second quarter that third quarter um they hold down the single digit points Um was it was a good performance by us They're they're obviously an explosive offensive team Um also in that third quarter our offense started clicking and um we were able to create separation Um you know for our team we had played close in games like this and and lost We we hadn't been able to figure out how to win you know a big game yet and and that's you know we have a young team we're playing freshmen more minutes than anyone else in the AC C and the growth is coming I think you can see it if you've watched us play in November or watched us play in December and now January like we're getting better And um so uh the performance was not perfect Certainly the first five minutes of the first quarter was not great but um they were ST they were they had us staggering a little bit and and we were able to find our our ground and and and get the win So it's a good win for us Um And I'm excited for for the team to be able to get one of these wins Carrie you mentioned being staggered early You're behind 13 to 1 against the borderline top 10 team How's your team holding together Well I was more concerned that I was needed to hold it together to be honest with you Um I think we just try to get them to settle down Um they were their spirit was in the right place and and their effort was in the right place They were wanting to play hard and make things happen And I thought offensively we were just like out of control and some offensive plays and and then defensively we we didn't do our scheme of what we were supposed to do and they got like a Moore gets an open three in a corner and then she gets another open three where we leave her I don't know why she'd be the one you'd pick to leave And then King throws one in right when we finally get a defensive possession where we like get get a good half court defensive pos position she throws one in That was a tough shot I mean she's capable of that So I just felt like if we could grab a hold of the game a little bit um you know we we could get some stops and then the stops allow you to run That's what's that's what's important for us Like if we can get stops we can get out and run And um you know when we can we can get out and run we have multiple players are able to start the break and we have multiple players are able to make plays And so I think we're at our best when we're we're playing with great pace Hey coach Congrats on the win um Your team was able to pick up the energy after a bit of a slow start Um We talked about the importance of playing with urgency Um How good is this Duke team playing with that type of energy that we saw today and how much of it is about playing with more physical um or it's just more of a mindset thing Yeah I think um in this league everybody's really talented and you have to play with urgency and you have to play with physicality and you have to play with great effort and if you don't you won't just lose you'll get your butt kicked That's how it works And we're teaching our young players about that Uh Like this isn't Tuesday Friday in high school And you know you're gonna you can kind of go halfway and still win by 30 on the Tuesday where maybe they play five or six hard games their whole season This is 1818 hard games in a row Back to back to back to back And so um we're starting to see like longer stretches and games where they're they're getting that they're understanding that we we weren't capable of doing something like this a month ago We just weren't we weren't there yet and we're not where we need to be yet to be honest Sometimes a win like this glosses over things you need to work on and that's what I told him like a win Like this is great and I'm proud of them But in this league you have to back wins up Like that's what it's about It's about building off of the win and being able to go get another one And oh man I don't even want to think about Sunday because that team's really really good But that's what you have to do in this league if you want to be one of the top teams Um you you you've got to be able to back winds up and um that that's our challenge is do we get so excited or complacent Because we feel like we've done something we did do something but it's it's over now like we won a game and we've got to try to be desperate to win the next one
