Jade Walker got into early foul trouble and played only 3 minutes in the first half. We were offensively challenged without Walker, shooting 19% from the floor as a team in the first half. We appeared to be gassed after last night's win and were never really in this game. Give credit to DePaul - they are a good team and played well.
I am pleasantly surprised by this year's team. After losing Handford and Grant, I did not think that we could win 20 games this year. We played outstanding defense this season, ranking at or near the top in the league in several key defensive categories. This enabled us to compile a record of 20-11 to date.
Congratulations to the team and staff for an outstanding season. I hope that we receive a berth in the WNIT.
