combine confidence gave opportunity people picked played position questioned relaxed
I think a lot of people questioned what position I would play in this league. With some reason, they should have. But considering the way I played in the combine and how much I showed those guys, I was comfortable and relaxed at the perimeter position. I think that gave them some confidence to give me the opportunity to get picked in the first round.
coming knew matter offensive people positions rhythm score season
We knew coming in this season that we had a lot of different people who could score a lot of points. It was just a matter of getting into an offensive rhythm and getting people in positions where they're effective.
best body defend grit help mind needs people position post rebounds throw willing
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's going to have to grit and get rebounds and just throw her body all over the place. I don't know too many people in her position that would be willing to do that.
badly excuse people
Many people may use the excuse that we're small, but rebounding is effort. It has nothing to do with your size. It's how badly you want the ball. From that aspect, that's the only thing we didn't do right.
ball excuse people
Many people will use the excuse that we are small, but rebounding is effort. It is how much you want the ball and has nothing to do with how big you are.
people players post talk
She?s one of the better post players in the country. I think she?s underrated. I don?t think a lot of people talk about her enough.
ball moved people positions
During that 15-0 run, we moved the ball really well and we got the ball to people in positions where they were comfortable to make plays. That's why we were able to do it.
badly ball bodies boxing excuse next obvious people pride
The obvious thing is we have to take more pride in boxing out and getting bodies on people. Many people may use the excuse because we're small, but rebounding is effort. It has nothing to do with your size. It's how badly you want the ball than the next person. That's all it is.
ball confidence focused keeping matter move ourselves people position shot teams ugly
It?s going to be ugly sometimes. We?re not the Connecticut teams of old. Every shot is not going to fall, the ball is not going to move the way people want it to move. It?s just a matter of us keeping the confidence that we can keep ourselves in a position to win. That?s all we?re focused on right now.
battle chance compete couple days games guess negative people regional spite
It's very unfortunate that we weren't able to (win Tuesday). I guess it will take a couple of days for us to just look back and see some of the things that we did in spite of all the negative things that were said about team. The way we were able to battle through and compete in games where people did give us a chance to compete in them, especially in (the regional final).
biggest bit carry defensive half lost moments rebounds second shot stretch time
I think we lost focus. I think that's the biggest thing. Any time where you go through a stretch where you're getting every shot you want to get, you're making every play, you're getting rebounds on the defensive end ... you're going to have moments where you're going to struggle. I think we let those moments carry over a little bit too long, especially in the second half after that 18-point lead.
attitude both career carry hopefully legacy minds onto regular season talked tournament win won year
I think it's real important (to win the championship) because we haven't had a year in our career where we've won both. So I think that's something that we've talked about also as being part of being a part of our legacy to be able to say that we won both regular season and tournament championships. So that's something we also have in the back of our minds going into (tonight) and hopefully we can carry that attitude onto the floor.
apart both career east legacy regular season talked title tournament won year
I think it's real important because we haven't had a year in our career where we've won both (the regular-season title and the Big East tournament). We've always won one or the other. So I think that's something that we've talked about also as being part of being apart of our legacy to be able to say that we won both regular season and tournament championships.
couple guess happens help last recognized rhythm trying
It is an honor. I guess they recognized what I have been trying to do to help the team. Over the last couple of games, it just so happens that I have been in a rhythm offensively. I have been able to get a lot done, but it has just been in the flow. It hasn't been out of the ordinary.
