basketball enjoy focus game kids second top whether
We've been here (playing a top seed) before, but it was always in the first or second round. The kids have to be able to focus and still enjoy it. One-and-out basketball is still one-and-out basketball, whether it is the first game or the third.
alumni blessed dropped god hall
We're blessed that God dropped her into Alumni Hall one day.
beat bringing carolina defeat huge kids point
Resurrecting the kids from the Carolina defeat and bringing them back to the point to be able to beat LSU, that's a huge dynamic. That's a huge achievement.

Pitt is a good basketball team. They have talented players, who play at a high level, and are deserving of playing in the next tournament (the NCAA).

answer ball bread early expect game gave kids missed realize smart time
When you have an All-American player, you go to her. We went to her early in this game and she didn't answer the bell. When you get her the ball on the block, you expect her to score. She missed some bunnies and that's why I gave her an early seat. When she went back in, our kids are smart enough to realize she's our bread and butter. This time she produced.
noticed
You know, I noticed that she went smaller, but I don't think it made a difference.
hang stuck
We were able to hang for a half, then got stuck on 33 for a long, long time. I thought we were never going to get off it.
consistent
We had some moments, but we didn't have enough consistent moments.
basketball easy game
Basketball is a game of easy baskets ... and we had no place to go for easy baskets.
beat good last liberty played seen tape trust
Because we played them last year, there is a lot of background. I haven't seen tape on them this year, but I trust Liberty is good because they beat us last year.
efficient needed second team
We weren't where we needed to be defensively in the second half. They are the most efficient team I've seen.
achievement nice played work
We weren't very smart, which is a nice way to say we played dumb.
game lose next super three
When you lose three in a row, your next game is your Super Bowl. You lose a couple, that's what it is.
