Penn State Women's BasketballPostgame Quotes vs. IndianaDec. 28, 2016
Coquese Washington | Head Coach Penn State
Q: Coach, give us your take on how your Big Ten opener went and what are some things that didn't go your way?
A: We certainly didn't want to come out and play this way in our Big Ten opener. Indiana is a fantastic team and I thought they came in and executed its game plan to perfection. We have some work to do on both ends of the ball. We have to be more fluid on both ends of the ball. We'll get back to practice and we'll work on that.
Q: It seemed like Indiana's defense was really aggressive. Was it that your players were tired or what can you attribute to that?
A: No, fatigue is not an issue at all. They've had plenty of rest. We just didn't execute well. Some of that can certainly be contributed to Indiana and their defense. Some of it was just us and the fact that we weren't executing as well as we have in the past. We weren't executing as well as we needed to against a very good team like Indiana. You have to execute at a high level in order to be successful. We had stretches in the game were we did that but certainly the second half we weren't as good as we needed to be.
Q: What are some things that you specifically want to focus on in terms of your teams performance.
A: Well, after you have this kind of display, there are a lot of things you have to work on. So, I don't know if I can just pick out one or two things. Like I said earlier, we just have to get back in the gym tomorrow and we have to work on our execution on both ends of the floor.
