Head Coach Don Flanagan
Opening Statement:
“Watching (North Texas) on tape is a little deceivingbecause they’re much quicker than they look on tape.They’re quick at every position. When you try to breaktheir press, we didn’t have a mismatch quickness-wise – atleast we didn’t tonight. So, we couldn’t really takeadvantage of (their press), which created some problemsfor us.
They had some kids that were good scorers and reboundedwell. When we’d get a rebound, they’d come and slap it outof our hand and get possession again. I used to work adrill every single day and I haven’t done it enough thisyear. So, we will get better at taking care of possessionswhen we get a rebound.
(North Texas) taught us something – we never quit. Wehung in there when there were times it looked like theywere going to win the game. They took us out of ouroffense but down the stretch I thought we performed well.”
On North Texas’ Rebounding Advantage:
“Rebounding, I thought, was they key to the game and theirrebounding was better than our rebounding. We have toreally go back to work on our rebounding.”
On North Texas’ Speed:
“I didn’t think their speed would bother us like it did.We played DePaul and DePaul had speed. We played Nebraskaand Nebraska had speed. The key with (North Texas) is thatevery kid has speed. Even their subs had speed. Thatbecomes a problem after a while if you let it, and we letit at times tonight.”

On scoring the game winning shot:
“You know in all honestly it is just the help of myteammates. Sara (Halasz) set a back screen and Amy(Beggin) drove it to the baseline. From Sara’s back screenI used the screen and I was basically wide open. Myteammates got me open for that shot.”
Junior Amy Beggin
On North Texas:
“I think they looked really quick on tape. They werereally a pressure team. It was good for us to get thatthough. I mean we had a lot of turnovers- that hopefullywe won’t have in the next couple games- with thatpressure. We just have to handle it a little bit better.They are a good team and they are going to have a goodyear. This is the only team that we played all year thatreally denied out all the way to the wing. So it is just amatter of getting accustom to that pressure andback-cutting a little bit. (This game) just showed ourcharacter again that things weren’t going right for ustoday, but we were still able to pull it out.”
