early flow might practice prepare
We have to go with the flow here. We might have to practice early one day this week, kind of prepare them. But the little things like that, you just have to go with.
experience game outside prep stuff
I don't think it's necessarily game prep as it is the outside and this stuff that they haven't experienced. You have to let them experience it because that's part of the process.
biggest people wake
For the program, for the school, it's our biggest win. It's going to wake some people up.
certain game hit key kids momentum talked three
We talked about that. There are certain kids who take over the game and she's a gamer. She hit that three and they got the momentum back. That was the key right there.
advantage middle players strength taking talked
We talked about taking advantage of their size. They're undersized and they've got players out so our strength was in the middle tonight.
against backs business care far feeling games maybe ready taking team wall won
If we had won that (Arizona) game, maybe we wouldn't be feeling like our backs are against the wall. But I feel like our backs are against the wall as far as our team taking care of business on the road. We need to go into these games ready to compete.
again challenges face team time wants
I don't know why this team wants to face challenges when they don't have to, but time and time again we do it.
chemistry found good hopefully picks
If one's not having a good game, someone else picks up. I don't know what it is. They have found this chemistry between them, and hopefully we can keep it going.
free kids stepping understanding work youth
(Free throws) is where our youth is showing. It's stepping up and understanding that these are free points. We work on them on practice. Kids typically are confident.
conference people recognize respect teams
To get that many teams in, to get that much respect really makes people recognize this conference as a force.
game gave half points stop tough transition
You have to stop their transition game and you have to make them take tough shots. We gave up 20 points in transition in the first half in that (loss). You just can't do that.
believe far few kids knew point saw seconds took
We all saw the board, but it took a few seconds to register. You get down that far and you don't believe at that point that it's going to happen. I don't think the kids knew what to do. It was out of control.
affect bad capable consistent game potential touched vice
She's probably our most consistent player, and when she has a bad game offensively she doesn't let it affect her defensively, and vice versa. Her potential is unlimited. I don't think she's touched what she's really capable of.
approach lose plate
There's so much on my plate right now, I just take it a day at a time. If I didn't approach it that way, I think I'd lose my mind.
