Nobody was moving and nobody was talking. Everybody was slow and we were playing at their pace and we should've been playing at ours.

I think their speed caught us off guard a little bit but we handled the ball. We just didn't get back on second shots. It's disappointing especially with a team that has this many seniors. It's hard to take.

Coach kept it positive at halftime and she just told us to keep shooting and work the middle. We weren't talking and communication was the problem.

Whether you are liberal or conservative, people seem to know the talking points for whatever the issue of the day is. Very rarely does it seem like these are opinions that people are coming up with themselves; it's like they watched the right cable news channel, and now they know what they are supposed to think, and they repeat that.

There is commerciality in storytelling, even in a film or a piece of literature. These things exist. That's why stories came to be: to hold attention and, while you're not looking, you'll get hopefully some nutritional value that the author has been working up. That's narrative; that's passing stuff down.

We're just helping with paperwork.
