Head Coach Bradley Davis' Take
Everyone came out today and did what they could do so it was a total team effort. Brooklyn had 11 boards and really helped to hold us down inside and Jenelle came out in the second half to hit clutch shots for us to keep our momentum going. The bench also deserves a ton of credit for putting up 18 points.
After the first half, we talked about being tough and shooting the shots just like we did in the last game and all week in practice so we made sure to keep that in mind throughout the game. I was proud of the toughness we showed getting a lot of offensive rebounds and put backs in the fourth quarter just to keep us in it and keep the energy up.
