boards came defense energy fun running spirited team tremendous
I thought the team came out with tremendous energy today. We did it with spirited defense and got up on the boards and got into our running game. That's how we want to play. It was a lot of fun out there.
defense packing road talk
We always talk about packing our defense and our rebounding when we go on road trips. That's what we have to do.
capable defend defense players
We're going to have to defend them. All of their players are capable of big numbers. Our defense is going to be tested.
arizona basketball build chance defense execute great playing road state
Going on the road in the Pac-10 is always a challenge. And Arizona State is playing great basketball. They're really going to make us have to play great defense and execute our offense. But it's another great chance for us to get better and build on what we've accomplished.
defense execution lack lead obviously seen
Obviously they lead the Pac-10 in defense for a reason. At the same time, it's not something we haven't seen this year. To me it was more our lack of execution than what ASU was doing.
amazing defense good year
Our defense has been very good all year and it was amazing tonight.
defense pack road team win
I tell the team we have to pack our defense and rebounding for road trips. Those are things you have to do well to win away from home.
defense great heart intensity job people playing recognize takes teams three
We need the same old Cameo. Great intensity and jump-start us from the start. Rebounding all over the glass. And, defensively, I don't think people recognize what a great job she's doing playing three different positions. She really takes her defense to heart and is a big part of why we've been able to take teams out of their offense.
doubt outing usc worst
I think USC was our worst Pac-10 outing of the year. I think some of that had to do with USC, no doubt about it. But a lot of it had to do with us.
control last race today tough
I think the race for the Pac-10 will come down to the last week. We have to control what we can control, and today we didn't do that. It's a tough one to swallow.
ball felt goes hit hospital later question saw
I saw her look down. She told me later in the hospital that it felt like a ball had come in on the timeout, somehow, and hit her in the chest. It was always a question in her mind, what does it feel like when it goes off.
fans
Our fans give us a lot of energy, and we play better.
aware clutch counted crunch five floor needs team time
Kayla has been clutch for five years in this program. She is someone I always counted on to have on the floor in crunch time or a late-game situation, because she's so aware of the circumstances of what's going on and what her team needs to do.
itself next ready sort staff team
Who knows? You never know. What you do know is you keep your staff and your team ready for the next opponent. It's going to sort itself out right after the Pac-10 tournament.
