We thought it would be better for us to play teams we don't normally see.

They just came out and were ready to play. They took it to us defensively and they took it to us offensively. We didn't play defense. Defense, we always feel, is our strong point. We didn't rebound or defend and it's simple as that. We scored 60 points; we have to win with 60 points.

We'll need some size about us against a team like Manchester City and I'd hope to be able to play both these two.

We wanted to make them play man-to-man, make them come out on us so we could go to the basket and get to the foul line. We used that offense a lot this year. We've been pretty good at the free throw line.

They play with each other pretty well. The press has bothered us all year, and we were able to capitalize on their press. The two big girls (Williams and Hurt) had them two-on-one and were able to convert. That was very pleasing to see.

It was the type of play I thought would energize us. But again, we kept on swinging and missing.
