career final four game good pressure successful team throughout trying win
I think being able to get to the Final Four four times is pretty nice. I feel very good about it. I know our team is going to be successful throughout my career so I don't feel the pressure of trying to win another game or win two more games. I know that we can.
fortunate four helping learn love maybe particular rest retirement special spend team time
I would love to have Alana for the rest of my life. I think I was just very fortunate to have her for four years. When you have someone that special to get to spend four years with, while helping them learn and grow, it is special. It was her time to go and it's someone else's time to shine. I don't think it's one person in particular but maybe just this team in general.
best conference country felt final four great last national teams top until win
We've felt like we've had a great conference for the last two years. It may be the best conference in the country from top to bottom. But until you can back it up and get teams to the Final Four and win the national championship, it's all talk.
aggressive build four great hope paid passed shots start three wish
She was much more aggressive with the basketball, and it paid off for her and for us. She still passed up three or four shots that I wish she would have taken. But it's a great start for her, and I hope she can build on that.
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.
excellent played struggling took
I thought they played an excellent game. I know they've been struggling with their rebounding, and I think they took it out on us today.
advantage depth eight gas ran
I think we ran out of gas with just eight players. We need to use depth to our advantage.
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.
becoming efficient minutes people players stay wear
I think we're very comfortable with (the rotation) now and I think our players are becoming much more efficient. (Currie) was just very efficient with her minutes and I think part of it is because she's able to stay fresh. And I think we wear people down that way as well.
aggressive gotten playing
I think we've gotten back to playing the way we want to play, and that's hard, aggressive defense.
blown good team
I think it was good for us mentally. We haven't blown a team out in a while, and I think it was good for our confidence.
blown confidence fleeting game good mentally physically rust team
I think it was good for us mentally. We haven't blown a team out in a while. ... Confidence is sometimes such a fleeting thing. Honestly, this game was probably better for us mentally than physically other than to get the rust off.
bench productive quality team teams
I think it's quality depth. A lot of teams have a lot of players, but our bench is productive, probably as productive as any team in the country.
beautiful history ugly win
I think this is the most beautiful ugly win we've had in the history of our program.
