WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS GAME 2

Postgame Chat with Kedra Holland-Corn

As part of the WNBA.com Postgame Show presented by IBM, Sacramento guard Kedra Holland-Corn participated in a live chat following the Monarchs' Game 2 win over the Sparks in the Western Conference Finals. Here's what Holland-Corn had to say:

What do you have to do to beat LA at home, and what was the difference in this game then the last?

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:15pm ET
When we came into this game we had the attitude that we had nothing to lose and everything to gain. That allowed us to be relaxed and confident. Every other game we only lost by two or three points and we knew we could beat them in LA at STAPLES.

What was it like beating LA on their home floor?

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:16pm ET
It's tremendous because their fans are so for them and so aggressive. They have so many stars here and it's hard to beat them because of the setting. It feels great to beat them here.
Mark-ct from albany.navipath.net at 7:16pm ET
Kedra, great game today! I think you are one of the most underrated players, does that figure into your head when you prepare for games like this? I've watched you from college to ABL to now and never thought of you as underrated but seems that this league does.

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:16pm ET
Thank you. It doesn't go into my head as far as being underrated. I want to approach each game with all that I have. I know I'm a great player and I can be even better. That makes me want to play as hard as I can.
YoFan! from dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net at 7:17pm ET
Kedra! You all rocked! What will you do to win the game tomorrow?

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:17pm ET
The same mindset as we had for Game 2 and that's being very confident that we have the ability to beat the LA Sparks. They're very good and so are we. Looking back, we've had a tremendous season and if we lose, we still met our goals as far as the season went.
Susan from stcla1.sfba.home.com at 7:18pm ET
Great game Kedra!! What inspired the team to come back so strong in the second half? CONGRATULATIONS!!

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:18pm ET
The inspiration was that we had a 10-point deficit and we came back to be up at four by half. We knew we could do it if we played great defense and the key was that we never gave up. We put it all out there and never gave up!
Samuele from adsl.galactica.it at 7:19pm ET
Hey Kedra. I'm of Faenza (Italy). I'll support for you and Ruthie. You think you can repeat a game like this tomorrow?

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:19pm ET
We'll try really hard. The main thing here is that we stay focused and don't get too high on this game because there's one left. In order to play a team like LA you have to be relaxed and play as hard as you can.
Kim from tnt3.tpa2.da.uu.net at 7:20pm ET
Congrats on winning Game 2! What happened to Ticha? She was rubbing her neck some at the end. Do you know what actually happened to her?

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:20pm ET
She just got bumped a little bit, I think she's ok.
dribble_dribble_shoot from rison.tds.net at 7:20pm ET
That was an awesome job you and the Monarchs did today, Kedra! Is there anything that you think you need to improve on before you BEAT the Sparks in Game 3?

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:21pm ET
When you put the dagger in LA the way we did, they hang their heads. We need to take care of the ball and limit the turnovers. We played a great game offensively and defensively and we're proud. It sould be a hard fought game once again.

Kedra Holland-Corn at 7:22pm ET
Just want to say hi to my mom who's watching this chat. Thanks to all the Monarchs fans who are following this series so closely and we'll do our best to bring home the Championship!!
