time
Jess is always going to be back with that little time left.
beat five great people player points produces terrific time
She's a terrific player. Any time a player produces 26 points on 14 shots, that's a great game. . . . She was going to have to beat five people tonight, not just one person.
affected game offense pitcher threw time week
It was a frustrating week because of the weather. The time off affected the offense in the first game but the opposing pitcher threw well too.
field game hardest intense players practice time work
We practice very intense and when it's game time the players go out on the field and do their job. The hardest we work is when we practice.
amount defensive spent surprised time
I think if you were going to be surprised at something, it was the amount of time she spent in a defensive stance. That's new.
against basis believe best business care daily develop game habits necessary prepared respects specific spend taken talking team therefore time work
I don?t you believe you spend a lot of time talking about a specific team as much as you talk about being prepared on a daily basis to play against the best teams. If you develop the habits necessary to do that, all your business is taken care of. You can?t work up for a big game and say, ?I?m going to be different today.? I think our team respects the game. Therefore they respect their opponents.
defense except few mistakes played terrific
I thought we played terrific defense and well enough offensively. I think we can play a little better offensively but defensively, except for a few mistakes on the perimeter, we were solid.
four good guards point
I thought our point guards were practically perfect. That's as good a play as we've had from our point guards as we've had in four years here.
basketball defensive few focus half intensity lost second talented
I thought our defensive intensity was good. The second half we could have done a few things better, but we never lost focus on the defensive end. They?re a very experienced and talented basketball team.
capable frame jessica means reference winning won
I think we are capable of winning when she has to sit. You have a frame of reference for a season, and that frame of reference is we have won without Jessica Davenport, it means we can do it again.
good guarded spot
Jess was being guarded one-on-one, and that's a pretty good spot for us.
convinced
I think they probably were convinced they couldn't play any worse.
bench change coming force game kim pace players
Kim is a real force coming into the game as a change of pace player. We've got a lot of players who can come off the bench with energy.
arguably beat best four good including last shared team teams winning year
Winning it is great. We shared it with a pretty good team last year (Michigan State) and we had to go 14-2 to do that. We beat some really good teams this year, including arguably four of the best down the stretch.
