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.
develop few good last letting maturity minutes tonight win wire work
I think this is a good win for us, but there's always something you can take from it. Obviously, tonight being up 19 and then letting them kind of come back and then having it down to the wire the last few minutes is something that we need to work on. And we need to develop some maturity if we want to be as good as we can be in the (NCAA) tournament.
determined focused game good happen last played stanford
We want it. In the Stanford game last year, I was horrible, and I think we all played pretty bad. That is something we are determined not to let happen again, and I think we are good enough when we are focused not to let it happen again.
although build last momentum start stretch tougher
This last stretch was good. Although we didn't play tougher teams, it was an important stretch. We could start to build some momentum going into the conference.
anytime defense draw easy guard kick last matured offense point
Anytime you have a point guard who can get in there and draw a lot of defense and kick it, it makes it easy on the shooters. She?s really matured a lot from last year. I think she realizes now how important she is in our offense and what abilities she really has to make everything work.
anybody definitely good prove ready
I think we definitely have some things that we need to prove to ourselves, not to anybody else. That's obvious. Right now I feel like everyone's in a really good place and ready to go into postseason play.
hoping maybe
I think we were still hoping for something to have happened, something to maybe give us another chance.
coming feed finally happens hope tried
I think when something like that happens you just kind of have to play through other people. You kind of feed off of them and just hope to get back and find yourself somehow. So that's what I tried to do and finally I feel like I'm kind of coming back.
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.
beat biggest east game good lost mentally reason team tonight
I think that's what makes it so frustrating. You look at a game like tonight and you see how good we can look and then you say the only reason we lost tonight is because we beat ourselves. We let another team come back into it and we mentally kind of got shaken. I think that's something that's going to be the biggest thing going into the (Big East and NCAA) tournaments.
adversity biggest count momentum push
We have some momentum on our side, definitely. I think the biggest thing is that we know we can kind of push through some things and come through a lot of adversity and count on each other. So I think that's something that's really important going into the tournament.
build felt game step took whatever
Overall, it felt like we didn't come and play. We wanted to build off the LSU game and it felt like we took a step back. We were scatterbrained for whatever reason. We'll get it back. We all know what we have to do.
acted fame hall
I think he?s always acted like a Hall of Fame coach.
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.
