create defense defensive good great hard screens work
That was a great defensive effort, because Wyoming is a very good team. They set so many screens and work really hard to create good shots. For a while there, our defense was really, really good.
execute fought hard
We just didn't execute on offense. We had an opportunity, and we fought really hard for that opportunity, but we didn't do enough.
anybody background buy dream good gotten hard nobody stands visualize
If we had gotten her, we would have been good right away. I don't think she could visualize the same dream that I had. I just had nothing to sell. The only thing I had was my idea of success. It's hard to get anybody to buy in when you've got nobody in the stands and your background is that your RPI is 325 out of 330 teams.
cuts definitely hard motion plays running time
I like triangle, but we have a hard time even running set plays with this team, so motion is definitely the better option. Even if everyone doesn't find the right spot, they're always making cuts and moving. If they move, they score.
confident freshman hard moments time work
I feel confident every time I put her in there that she's going to work hard and won't back down from anyone. She has some freshman moments from time to time, but I really don't feel like there's any drop-off when I put her in the game.
defended half played second
I thought the second half we played harder. We executed a little better and we defended a little better.
calm difficult errors hyper julie loves tendency trying
Julie just loves basketball, and I'm trying to get her to calm her down. She has a tendency to get a little hyper and when she does that she makes some errors in her decisions. When she's relaxed, she's difficult to defend.
defeating hung played players seeing surprised texas
The players have surprised me, too. Defeating Texas was surprising, seeing all their talent, and we played so well. We've hung in there and showed heart. That's made me happy.
close fans group home hoping playing prove support team
We just have a little more to prove now, but we're playing close to home and we don't have to play a top-seeded team right out of the gate. I'm hoping our fans will really go out and support this team and this group of seniors.
capable great stage
This was a great stage for Dionne to show what she is capable of doing.
knew nobody states top united
We had one of the top recruits in the United States and nobody even knew she was here.
against basketball best energy focus loss playing regular toward
We have to let this loss go and focus on playing our best basketball to end the regular season. I want all their energy channeled toward playing their best against BYU on Saturday. It's the least we can do for all seniors.
excellent last night replicate
We have had some inconsistency. But I do feel this is an excellent team. When they're good, they're very, very good. Last night I thought they were very, very good, and I think they can replicate that.
four guards looking plays using
UNLV plays four guards. So using four guards was something we were looking at doing anyway.
