win against italy 53-52

Happy for the win but but......ok , i start from the beginning.

1period: 11-12 
2period: 9 - 12
3 period: 12-15
4 period: 20-14

Best scorers: Lollo- 16, 7reb, Hanna- 10, 10 reb, Stefanie-9, 2 reb, Martina - 6,4reb, Dani-6,2reb, Jessica-2, 3reb, Maria- 2, 1reb, Anna - 2, 5reb. Pernialla-3 reb, Kathleen-1reb.

The biggest worry I have as a coach tonight, is the quality in our offense.  That was the biggest obstacle tonight.  We did have good moments but too often we lacked discipline, clearity, responsibility for our actions.  The team is strong when all players on the floor knows what is expected and required from them.  Lack of disciple causes turnovers that leads into frustration.  Frustration takes energy and time and takes focus from more important things.  
We hade 24 turnovers compare to italy's 14. 

We dominated in rebounding.  That is very positive.  42-24.  Dennis was taking those stats..and i think he did very good job.  I think the running game is a beauty in basketball and we stressed that before the game.  I want us run and attack.  We had 16 possibilities on the fast break, which gave us 10 points, compare to their 8 attack which led to 4 points.

What i am really glad about is that at the end we come strong mentally again. That shows our capability to make right decision and finnish strong.   That could give us an advantage in EM.

I am happy we won and we had some great defensive stopps.   I enjoy so much being with them and teaching them.
Because i believe in them - I demand alot.  It is not ok to perform bellow our capabilities.
