apart built ending fact fast fell given good order panicked played road situations tough trip whereas
This road trip built a lot of character. It let us know that given tough situations we know what we need to do in order to win. We know how to win. Whereas before I don't know if we would have been able to do that. We probably would have panicked a little bit, played too fast and probably fell apart when they made their run. So the fact that we were able to do it was just a good ending to this trip.

Never in my basketball career have I had the opportunity that I just had with the ball in my hands, with the game on the line and to be able to make the shot. There is no better feeling in the world.
capable coach continue decision overcome prove talents work
Obviously, it's a decision that Coach made and it's something that she's just going to have to continue to have to work through. If she's able to overcome this and show her talents and show what she's capable of and prove herself, then that's going to say a lot about her. And I think she will.

Obviously, that's something that has been in the back of our minds. There is no resentment toward Diana at all. She was an unbelievable pioneer in women's basketball.

She has her mind in the right place right now. She just understands what she needs to do to help our team. She understands that she's going to have to defend the best post player.

She had that confidence that when she caught it, she was going to knock it in. I think our ball movement in the second half got her a lot of open looks. And tonight she had the hot hand, which pretty much carried us through the second half.

Me and Ann just came in and said the obvious things. We have to take more pride in boxing out. We have to take more pride in knowing who we are guarding and rotating on defense. We have to know what we are doing out there, and in that first half we didn't look like it at all.

I was talking to Ann (Strother) on the bench in the second half, and we were just really happy with her finally being able to come out and just play the way we know Nicole can play. She was real poised, knocking in shots, making the right passes, and defensively she was solid.
