anybody game gotten players year
I think that anybody that is with this program, the players and coaches, know that I've expanded my game this year and I've gotten better.
advantage ball good guards height players post throwing top
We have a height advantage so our guards were throwing the ball over the top and our post players were getting good position.

Our game plan is going to stay the same. We really don?t know what they?re going to do. We just have to make sure that we do what we have to do.
business care fight hard home road sure wins
Road wins are hard to come by. You really have to go out and fight on the road. Making sure you take care of your business at home is a pretty big deal.
game good tournament treated
We got good tournament experience. We treated this game like it was a tournament. We had one day of preparation and then had to come in and play a game.

I feel like we worked hard all season, whatever the committee decides they decide. We stayed focused, we think the Big Ten title helped.

With her, it's not about scoring. It's about running our team. That's her job and she does it well.
court emotions expect faces great last lost players run second smile whenever
You expect that they?re always going to come out tough. You can see the frustration on the faces of the players whenever they don?t do something right. We lost in the last second at their court last year, and when I think back on it, I can smile because it was a great game. The emotions run high.
defender imagine practice shot shoulder time took turned
When I got the ball, I turned in my shoulder and I didn't imagine a defender on me. I practice that shot every day. I just took my time and made it.
ability blocking coming good guards job shot sure twice
My ability in shot blocking and Debbie?s ability to take charges, I think it really made them think twice about coming into the paint. I think our guards did a good job of making sure their three-point shooters did get a lot of shots.
dangerous defense execute offense teams
Sometimes young teams are pretty dangerous because they just come out and play. We just have to execute our offense and defense so that we can get getter.
coach coaching foster great legacy special
Coach Foster is a pretty special guy, a great coach and a great guy. To be a part of his coaching legacy is a great thing.
available half second tried
I was being more active, more aggressive. I was able to see what they were doing in the first half and then I tried to make myself more available in the second half and tried to get more rebounds.
entire game hard prepare prepared season worked
I'm pretty excited. We worked hard all season and we are going to prepare for this (NCAA tournament) like we have prepared the entire season. We are going to play one game at a time.
