preparing
We don't have to adjust. We've been preparing for this.
aggressive kept stayed
We stayed aggressive and kept attacking. The way (Oregon State) battled with what they had should be commended.
america fans good obviously playing west worry
If we're playing at America West Arena, obviously we're not at home, but our 4,000 fans will make it feel like home. That's a pretty good advantage, but it just is what it is. It's not something that we worry about.
hold points problem score team
I don't know why we couldn't hold any team under 60 points a game. Now the problem is, can we score 61 points?
choice error good knew margin saw seen team
This team is making me look good right now. We had no choice. We had no margin of error and, honestly, because we had seen everybody. We saw what they had, and we saw what we had, and we knew we were the better team.
control teams
We can only control what we do, not what other teams do.
chance game home hurt perfect
We don't really look at the records. We just go out one game at a time. It's always a chance that being perfect at home could hurt us, but we don't let it get to us.
again everybody everywhere massive shots target throwing
We had this massive target on our back. Everybody was throwing in shots from everywhere that they'll never make again in their lives.
best certainly doubts far hump teams
We are certainly over the hump as far as having doubts that we are one of the best teams in the country.
aggression both felt good goofy knew lost push
We got tentative, we lost our aggressiveness at both ends. We made some goofy turnovers. We knew they would make a push with Wiggins and Smith, but I felt good about our chances.
controlled number
We controlled the boards, therefore, we controlled the game. That was our number one goal.
challenged team year
We've been challenged all year long by our opponents. We're the team that they want to beat, which could make their season.
good job offense pressured taking took
We did a good job of taking some things away. We took them out of their offense and pressured them. I thought we really started strong.
came kid mentally tough toughness
She's a tough kid -- physically, mentally and emotionally tough. We haven't even had her that long, but her toughness is something she came here with.
