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.
fighting good job matter mouth position talking tough tougher whether year
That whole Connecticut thing is tough. It's a tough situation. We're off the radar. Like nobody's really talking about us, but they are. So no matter what, Connecticut's always going to come out of somebody's mouth whether it's negative, positive. It's been tougher this year than any year for me. It's something that we've done a really good job of fighting through, and I think that's why we are in the position we're in right now.
game ourselves position prove win
We need to win this game to put ourselves in first place, alone. I think that?s the most important thing that we need to get out of this game, not that we have anything to prove or anything like that. We just need to put ourselves in position to be in first place.
eliminate field five matter mental minutes position six week
This week is all about mental toughness. If we can eliminate those stretches where we go five or six minutes without a field goal, we'll be in position to win. At times, we're really explosive. It's just a matter of concentrating on doing the little things.
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.
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.
deal fight game ourselves played position sure tie watch win
I know we didn't play our 'A' game. I give them credit. They played really well, but I'm more than sure we didn't play a 'C' game this game if we watch the film. We didn't do enough to win this game. But we have to deal with it. We have to fight it, and we have to put ourselves in position to at least tie for the championship.
establish forever guess help last leaders otherwise ourselves position proven until year
I guess we have proven everything everyone said right, because I don?t know if we would have been in this same position last year if we had her. Until we prove otherwise and we are able to establish ourselves as being able to be leaders and help this team, that will forever be engraved in everyone?s memory.
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.
confidence defense game ourselves position says time win
It says a lot about us defensively. Any time we put ourselves in position to win the game offensively, we have a chance, because our defense is going to be good. We have confidence that we can get stops.
best biggest learned ncaa ourselves position shots tournament win yourselves
I think we learned that when it comes down to it, if we can make big shots offensively we?re going to put ourselves in a position to win because we?re going to get things done defensively. I think that?s the biggest thing we can take from this tournament ? and I think that?s the best part about this tournament ? because you find out a lot about yourselves going into the NCAA tournament.
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.
