We weren't where we needed to be defensively in the second half. They are the most efficient team I've seen.

My team impressed me again in their ability to comprehend and understand what I was going through.
affects hard plays teammates
She's making progress. It affects her conditioning. It's hard for her to be sharp. It affects her teammates because they're not making the same plays to the same person in practice.
basketball team
There are things that are more important than just a basketball game, and there's no way our team wouldn't go to that wake.
beating call capable dark facing fair horses sunday teams
I think it's fair to call any of the other 10 teams dark horses. These teams that (No. 4) St. John's and DePaul are facing Sunday are capable of beating us, so that makes them a dark horse.
came curse four game players playing ready straight team
Having a bye can be a curse or a blessing. The blessing, obviously, is you don't have to play four straight games. The curse is the team you're playing has a game under its belt. If you're not ready, they can use that to their advantage. My players came out ready to play.

I thought we got some pretty good looks in the last seven minutes but once they got it spread there in the last two minutes I started running some thing to get quick shots. It's a tough team to get quick shots against. That's a big time team playing a big time game in a big time atmosphere.

I thought we got some pretty good looks the last seven minutes. They're just a big-time team playing a big-time game in a big-time atmosphere.

We're blessed that God dropped her into Alumni Hall one day.

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.
basketball deserving good high next pitt playing talented tournament
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.
