Carolyn Kieger tried to keep things positive during the post-game press conference.
“Every day, we talk about growth,” she said. “It’s not always about the outcome, it’s about how much we’re progressing and how much we’re learning as a team.”
Her relatively tranquil demeanor after the game did not match her disposition during it, which could best be described as livid. Kieger pointed, clapped, stomped her feet and yelled at her team, imploring them to play with the intensity they’d shown all season. Instead, they looked flat and listless as the DePaul Blue Demons ran roughshod over them, 98-65, to end the regular season on a sour note.
