The foul trouble, the amount of times throughout the game that they were in the bonus really impacted our play. I thought the game was lost in the second quarter. We had South Carolina on the back of their heels, really having to adjust to our style of play. I thought you saw the mentality to come out and punch first. But they're still champions in my eyes.Story Links NCAA Women's Basketball Championship: Regional 1 Final - Maryland vs South Carolina Monday, March 27, 2023Įlite Eight Postgame Media Conference - Maryland TerrapinsĬoach Brenda Frese, Diamond Miller, Abby MeyersīRENDA FRESE: You know, just super, super proud of this team. KELVIN SAMPSON: 26 wins, I'm not going to sit here and find something wrong with them right now. I would like to have seen the two teams continue to decide it themselves. Give Washington credit, he made a great shot.Īs I said earlier, I just was disappointed the way the last point was scored. We're hitting each other in the face with rocks, and kids were battling each other. Two teams out there just - sometimes a rock fight you throw at each other and you hit nothing. You have two teams that, I mean it's a bloodletting. I mean, you know, writing about stats is not the story of this game. That's why it's so disappointing the way we lost. KELVIN SAMPSON: No, I'm proud of our team. Obviously this is a tough loss, but can you just speak to the way this team came together this season and obviously getting back into the Tournament, NCAA Tournament. Along those lines with the fatigue and second half I think you guys were 0-for-10 on threes, you don't see that normally from your team. KELVIN SAMPSON: Yeah, well, it was hard to get a shot against a good defensive team and kids didn't have much legs, that's why the way it ended was so disappointing. What did they shoot the second half? Anybody know? Then we came back and played at 3:30 yesterday. If you want pretty, look at our game against Central Florida.īut Cincinnati, Houston, third game, three days, our game Friday night got over about 11:30, I think. So you're going to have games like that on three games in three days. Their main guys probably played 100 minutes. Make sure you say both these kids, both these teams' kids were exhausted. KELVIN SAMPSON: No, but don't judge this on a level playing field. To lose a game by one point by shooting 20 percent, have you ever seen a game like that? The shooting overall, 6-for-30, in the second half. The offensive rebounding margin or the second-chance points margin, 17-4. I'm always honest about that stuff, he maintained his dribble, but he threw it out, their five man makes a contested three, that's how close we were.īut our kids deserve better at the end though. Their kid falls down, maintains his dribble, was not walking.

We're a stop away from coming down with a three-point lead and don't turn it over, make your free throws, we're out there celebrating. Eventually I'm going to calm down, I'm sure, but you got a three-point lead with under a minute to go. How much do you think a game like this helps you prepare for the next week? KELVIN SAMPSON: I have no other comment on that play. Kelvin, from your vantage point there interpretation-wise, what did you see on that call? That's why it's so disappointing on that last call, just disappointing. If we didn't play for two weeks, that might not be a pretty offensive game.īoth teams battled. Can't say enough about our kids' grit, toughness, three games in three days, people just looking for a pretty offensive game. KELVIN SAMPSON: Yeah, both teams have that identity. It was a real rock fight out there, both teams really got after it defensively in the second half. THE MODERATOR: Questions for Coach, please. KELVIN SAMPSON: I would like to have seen that last play decided by the players on the floor. THE MODERATOR: We'll start with an opening statement from Coach.
