anyone awesome bench freshmen
When you think back to our freshmen year, it was kind of like, if anyone got off the bench and got in, you wanted to see them do as much as they could. It's just awesome to see.
forget grown mistakes
It's really frustrating, even more so as a friend, because you want to see her have success. But to her credit, everything she's done, she's done on her own. She's really grown and been able to forget about mistakes and play without those inhibitions.
coming game senior tired whatever
I don't ever really feel like I get tired when I'm on the court. I just want to play and do whatever I can. As a senior you look at every game and you could see kind of an end coming and you want to be in there as much as you can and make the most of it.
hoping maybe
I think we were still hoping for something to have happened, something to maybe give us another chance.
barbara chip coach continue crucial definitely either great happened momentum needed point seen side wide
I think it was just a crucial play that we needed at a big point in the game. Either they were going to get the momentum back on their side and continue to kind of chip away at us and you could've seen something that happened the other night. It definitely was a big play. Coach called it up and Barbara set a great screen. I was wide open.
boston knowing points
Knowing that we were two points from being in Boston (is tough).
explain felt game nobody playing poorly
It was a little frustrating because it was unexpected. Nobody really felt that we were going to go into this game playing as poorly as we did. There's no way to explain it. It's just an off night.
coach knows prepare team time
I think that's the way that coach has always, kind of something he's always been know for. He knows how to prepare a team for this time of year.
seem sick
You think you'd get sick of each other eventually. But it doesn't ever seem to get like that.
couple crunch last past playing realizing regular senior step time
I think we?re all realizing that it?s the culmination of our last regular season. This is the time where every senior in the past had to step up and make things happen; (Will?s) been playing like crunch time for the past couple games.
atmosphere college fans support
Connecticut fans are the best, especially here in Bridgeport. When we were here two years ago, we had unbelievable fan support and it's just the most unbelievable atmosphere to play as a college athlete. The fans are great.
half matter parts regardless rhythm season second sort worry
This is one of the most important parts of the season no matter who we play because right now we just have to worry about us and what we need to do and try to get some sort of rhythm going in the second half of the season. Regardless of who we play right now, it's just a really important part of the season.
calm definitely gets step sure tournament
I think going into the tournament if it gets to that situation, that?s something that I would definitely look to try to do. Make sure everyone is calm and try to step up and get us out of that little drought.
goals stay
If I were in Duke's position, I wouldn't think anything of it. The goals are still the same. You have to stay focused. And I think they'll be just as focused.
