focused game huge played team
I think it is huge that this team played that way down the stretch. At the end of the game we have to be focused and be able to execute.
finds help team win
Sheryl finds a way to help her team win a game, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with scoring.
backup compete expect labeled looked maybe people rise team tech texas tremendous
Texas Tech had a very disappointing season, and Erin didn't have a lot of people around her. I think people looked at that team as underachieving and maybe labeled Erin the same way. But she had a tremendous pre-draft camp. When you put her with better players, she's able to rise to the occasion. I expect that she is really going to compete for that backup spot.

Parker obviously had a marvelous tournament, and we got good contributions from the other ones as well. We're in good shape; you add our veteran players with our younger players, and we'll field a good team in September that will really compete hard.
average below filling finds game help league team tonight win
I don't know how many of those (triple-doubles) we get in the league but that's special. She was below her (scoring) average tonight but she's filling up other columns. So Sheryl finds a way to help her team win a game and it doesn't necessarily have to do with scoring.

Their starting five are title contenders. On paper, they are the team to beat.

I was dragging my feet. There was never a doubt that it wasn't going to get worked out. I'm happy. Very, very happy.

I said right after we won the championship that I thought we could lose at least one starter. But I had no idea they were coming after our bench.
cake defensive effort great icing matters mean played win
The only thing that matters tonight, and I mean this sincerely, is that we just played a great defensive effort for 40 minutes. It's a great win for that reason. The icing on the cake is 100.
experience feeling good last record says year
I think internally we're all feeling really good about it. To know that we accomplished the same record as last year with the experience we had, it says a whole lot about those 11 players.
betty everybody kept stepped sue
Sue went to a different level. She got everybody organized, kept everybody focused, moreso than a regular-season kind of deal. Betty stepped up verbally, so yeah, it's a different gear.
everybody people playing season surprised
I think everybody is disappointed how the season finished. I think many people are surprised we're not playing right now.

We're relying on our practice guys, who have competed, to coming in morning and night.
