“I told them at halftime, we needed to calm down and play Manatee Lady Hurricanes basketball. We knew they were going to hit their 3s. We just didn't want them to hit 10 of them.”
“We just focused on doing a bunch of different things on defense, but man did it for us tonight. The first time we played them, we should've stayed home. We are playing together now and Hayley is back.”
“(Southeast) started playing man - in-your-face man. As soon as (Manatee) felt that pressure, it was rush, rush, rush. Right from the start, I said 'We set the tempo.' . . . That didn't happen. We need to just be mentally strong. Tonight, we were not.”
“A lot of people don't give us credit for being mentally tough. At halftime, I was just like, 'Calm down. . . . Relax, and play Manatee Lady Cane ball. Don't play their ball.”
