WMU-Ball State Post Game Quotes

Sophomore Forward Michelle O'Brien

Thoughts on offensive struggles:

"I think part of our struggle tonight was we were kind of stagnant, we didn't move as much without the ball. Every time we tried to make a pass they'd pick it off or be right there to catch it. We really needed to cut to the middle or slip or do something different but it wasn't in our favor tonight."

Starting the game in a deficit:

"I don't know what it is but we need to come to every game like its going to be our last and just play as hard as we can. We always have to try and keep our composure. Team's go on runs and we need to make our runs. We need to stop their runs on defense first and start our offense from our defense."

Head Coach Shane Clipfell

Thoughts on tonight's game:

"Well that is not what I anticipated that's for sure. I thought we were in the frame of mind that we were going to play well. We did anything but that. I'm really becoming frustrated and kind of at a loss for words about our consistent poor start.

"Three points in nine minutes is unbelievably poor. We can't keep putting our defense in such a disadvantage with our offense. 

"I think you can tell by the minutes and number of people going in and out that we were searching for somebody who could simply make a basket. They're frustrated, I'm frustrated, and we have to find a combination that can score."
