days
There are days it's really been fun. And there are days when it's really been, well ... trying.
defensive kept lose proud refuses team
It had to be one of our defensive efforts. You're always proud of a team that just refuses to lose ... we just kept pecking away.
duke question
Duke is really good. There's no question they are good.
advantage biggest changes court extending
I would think extending the court could be one of our biggest changes and something we'll try to take advantage of.
counted gave points
They were aggressive. We gave them way too many fast-break baskets in the first half. I think I counted up (that) there were 26 points off turnovers and fast-break points they had in the first half.
couple deal excitement football great holiday remember team
I will say about the WNIT, I remember our football team had to go a couple times to the Holiday Bowl. There was not a great deal of excitement about doing that, and this WNIT is not the NIT.
ankles cautious determination game percent point pressure season treatment trying
She's day to day. I know she will not be 100 percent on Sunday. At this point in the season we're being cautious because we know how ankles are. So it's going to be probably game day before a determination is made and there's no pressure on Tiffany to come back. Obviously, I'm hopeful. And, obviously, there's 24-hour surveillance and treatment trying to get her ready.
coaster consistency few priority roller weeks
Consistency is a big priority for us right now. We're not on the roller coaster we were a few weeks ago.
low point today
In my mind, they've under-achieved. And today probably was the low point of that.
moral playing victories
It's not about moral victories or just playing close. But you've got to take some steps, and I think we did today.
growth hard helped hope people visibility wants
I hope that it's not health-related. I hope it's that she wants a life. It's a hard job, and she's been doing it a long time. And she's done it really, really well. She has been instrumental in the growth of the sport, one of the people who helped get the visibility and credibility we have today.
dependent pure won
I think that is pure speculation if we would have won with Tiffany in the game. But I do know that we are very dependent on her energy.
learned seen
Just when you think you've seen everything, you haven't. I've learned that during this season.
happened number situation teams work
It happened to work out that way. But it was competitive, and there were any number of teams that could have won. It's very much the same situation this season.
