Our bench is pretty productive. We have quality depth. I feel our bench is as productive as any in the country.
final focus four headline paper regional task time tough trip winning
This is a time for celebration for our team. But there are a lot of tough things going on campus. We don't know much about it. We've been out of town. But when you come back from winning your regional and getting a trip to the Final Four and the headline in the paper is about (the lacrosse team), it's kind of tough. But we just have to focus on our task at hand.
create half impressed keeps physical several shot tapes tone tough watched
I'm really impressed with Jefferson. I've watched several tapes on them and she keeps getting better and better. She can create her own shot and she's strong, physical and athletic. She's a tough kid. She set the tone for them in the first half (against Kentucky).
balance great inside outside similar
They're similar to us in that usually if you take away the outside game, you win. Or if you take away the inside game, you win. But with them and with us, we have great balance and an inside-outside attack.
hit stops sudden

I'm not sure if the crowd affected my team. I love a great crowd and so does our team, and I think they really helped Connecticut more than hurt us.
team
I told the team I'm kind of glad. I know that we will be better because of this game.
allow anxious attribute happen understand
I think we were very anxious to play. I can attribute some of that to the turnovers that we had, which is unacceptable. We understand we can't allow that to happen any more.

So we'll be different. To me, that's very exciting because we're going to have to be different offensively, different defensively.
exciting great
It was an exciting game. It was a great game. But it was just one game.
awkward kids stays touch transfer wished
It's not awkward to me at all. Kids transfer all the time. I know she stays in touch with some of the players. We've always just wished her the very best.
confidence continued gain longer played
They just continued to gain more confidence the longer they played with us.
along great laugh memories pressure
You've got to laugh at yourself, or laugh at your team. There's pressure on any team, but you have to make as many great memories as you can along the way.
knew played strong tech virginia
Give Virginia Tech a lot of credit. I thought they played really hard, strong and physical. We knew they never give up. They showed a lot of character.
