easy hard heart
We're doing all the hard things but we're not doing all the easy things. We need to rebound, play with heart and intensity. We can't just be a 20-minute team.
hard hits strong
Getting jumped on, it hits you pretty hard. We wanted to come out strong and get into their heads.
courtney dominant hard high next school somebody stepped
Courtney was so dominant in high school and it's always hard to know how somebody is going to do at the next level, but she has really stepped it up.
bring future hard ncaa played tournament toward work
We played hard, but we didn't do the little things. I think we all know we can do better, and bring more and we need to work on that. The Pac-10 is important, but the NCAA tournament is our goal, our future and we are working toward that.
awhile fine natural shake took
I think it?s really natural to have nerves, and it took us awhile to shake them off. But we were fine once we did.
capable excited move
I think it's really important that we move on from (Saturday). We are even more excited about (tonight) and I think if we do what we are capable of doing, we'll be fine.
knew missing open
We couldn't get more open shots, we were just missing them. I knew once we got rolling, it would be all right.
texas
I think my first realization of that was at Texas Tech.
advantage climbs confidence gives opportunity plays runs team tight
There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.
knew stops
We knew that we could score. It was really about getting the stops that we needed.
found roles secure
We are making improvements every day, every practice. I think we've all found a rhythm. Our roles are secure now.
country great nation player post practice
There is no other post player in the country I would want on my team. Now the whole nation will get to see what we see in practice and that's how great she is.
country nation player post practice rather team
There is no other post player in the country I'd rather have on my team than Brooke. Now the whole nation can see what we see in practice every day.
adrenaline dizzy game nature sickness
I got a little dizzy before the game but by then it was too late. I think the competitive nature and the adrenaline outweighed any sickness or fatigue.
