What they’re saying

“They were dealing with some of the same rust issues, so it's no excuse, but it made the game kind of bleh. I really liked a lot of the things we did defensively, and that's how we give ourselves a chance. Ellie is a unique luxury; she's one of those special ones. She can get a shot anytime she wants it. The best part about her is that she's such a good kid, and you saw all the girls run and hug her because of how much she cares. I will say, my favorite point was 1,002, because she finally finished with her right.”
