Teri Moren's words to the media after Indiana rallied past Southern Indiana at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Wednesday.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Teri Moren had some choice words for her team at halftime during Indiana's women's basketball game against Southern Indiana on Tuesday. At the time, Indiana trailed by 13, but the Hoosiers rallied for a 67-63 victory on Wednesday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
And so, I had to get in them pretty good and question whether or not they were were ready to fight in the second half. That's guard better, that's fight harder, that's try a little harder. Offensively, there were times, you know, obviously we got back in the game and won the game. We had some of those good moments, but not enough clean defensive stops in my opinion. So just an area that we got to figure out how we can continue to get better. Hopefully we will.
On whether there's a message for the team that there's other ways to win when shots aren't falling ...Since I arrived at Indiana, those first couple years where offensively it was a struggle, right? I'm old school. I believe that you hang the hat on the defensive side of the ball. If it's low scoring, it's low scoring. You still give yourself a chance if you can execute the defensive plan. Be in rotations. Guard better. Guard one on one. Rebound.
On whether Indiana turnovers were addressed after the Hoosiers had six in the first quarter only to have just six more for the rest of the game ...Not so much. There was so much to address to be honest with you, that turnovers were the least thing on my my list when I was going into timeouts. It was just trying to to get them to guard so much better. Be more engaged in what we were trying to do. When you don't shoot the ball well and you don't see those things going in, it's hard.
