backs barbara coach deep great knowing line looked noticed outside player threw
I noticed there was not one player outside the three-point line and their backs were turned. I looked at Coach and told Barbara to go deep and I threw it. It was great knowing that it was going to work.
depend everybody far good improved job month notice players saying stepping whoever
I'll just go as far as saying that we've improved a lot. And a month ago I would just say that it would depend on the night. If everybody was on the same page, yes. If not, no. But I think that right now we're doing a good job of stepping up. Whoever doesn't play well you don't notice it because there's other players that step up.
improvement job standpoint trusting
I think we've made a lot of improvement. I think from the standpoint of just trusting each other, we're doing a better job of that.
confused plays run wrong
I wouldn't say I don't know them. It's just that sometimes I get confused when they run things. I know the plays. I just run the wrong plays at the wrong time.
bounce call charge hoped open shot thinking
I was thinking they were going to call a charge and they didn't. And then I shot it. It was open and I hoped it would go in, but it didn't. Sometimes things are just not enough, but we don't like to think like that around here. We always want to win. Things didn't bounce our way.
ball coach excited fact focused knew match move players post run simple stand team teams tells
I was excited just for the simple fact that we were able to move the ball and not stand around on offense. Also, we knew that they were a fast-break team and we wanted to pretty much match that. Coach always tells us that when you play teams like this, your post players have to run and that's what we really focused on tonight.
mentally minute teams
You have to be mentally strong. Mentally tough. ... The minute you think about being tired, being sore, that's when teams take it to you.
lose next particular regular season team
We know that right now it's one and done. It's not like the regular season where (if) you lose to one particular team and just say, 'It's OK. We'll get them next time.' There is no next time.
deeds definite good lack
Ugly, it was. I think we let our good deeds get away from us and we weren't focused. There was a definite lack of concentration.
doctor energy player running tough unless
With Ann, she has so much energy running through her veins, you would never know she's hurt. That's the kind of player she is. Unless our doctor says, 'You can't play,' Ann will play. She's a tough kid.
carry chances fact load simple team win
We had chances where we could win the game, but it's just a simple fact that I didn't come to play. The team had to carry their load and mine. It just wasn't fair.
absolutely darn excited last played remember time
I don?t remember the last time I played in a game, so I?m excited to see what (Thursday) brings. I?m not going to say there?s absolutely no pain, but I can play. Let?s just say, I feel pretty darn good.
deeds good
We kind of let our good deeds get away from us.
effort mistakes people players saying showing talent ups wish
You look at a lot of players who play on this level, and they don't have the talent like I do. There are a lot of people who wish they had it. To have it and not do anything with it is bad. I am not saying I am not going to make mistakes and have my ups and downs, but I am just showing the effort and the will to want to get better.
