besides court program unselfish wants
She does other things for us on the court besides scoring. She's actually a very unselfish player. She just wants the program to be successful.
blocking court heart likes medical permission practice rate
Anything you need her to do, she'll do. Even on the court at practice, in drills. We got permission for that from the medical staff. She can be on the court as long as her heart rate doesn't get up there. She likes getting out there and blocking everyone's shots.
five four realize surprised
I was so into the game. I didn't realize she had four (fouls). I was a little surprised she had five and was in there at that point.
consistent impact knew leading recruiting team
Back when we were recruiting her we knew she would be an impact player. She kind of does it all for us. She's leading the team in steals. She's been pretty consistent for us all year.
biggest definitely three wins
It's one of the biggest wins in my three years. We're definitely peaking at the end.
along dance-and-dancing gets loves people side
She gets along with everybody. She's always dancing, she loves music. That's a side of her that people don't see.
beginning creates defense focused frustrated hanging heads kept looking open people plan scoring stick struggled tried
At the beginning of the year, if we would have struggled like that, we would have had a lot of people hanging their heads and it would have just escalated. They just bounced back, kept looking for what was open and kept focused on the target. I wasn't too concerned. I tell them, 'If we're not scoring that's OK, we just need to get stops.' Defense creates some offense. I tried to stick with the plan and not get too frustrated with them.
defensive great guard huge job point presence scoring
Della has been a huge presence for us on the defensive end. She's done a great job on the opposing team's point guard and has had some big scoring games.
fired game hopefully locker ready
I told them in the locker room, 'Every game in the WAC will be tough.' Hopefully they'll be ready and respond. (Hawaii) will be fired up, but so will we.
finish fix girls knew learn people seem solution
I don't think it's just one solution. If I knew what one solution was, I would fix it. That's what people don't seem to understand. The girls are working hard, we're working hard, we've been in a lot of games. We just have to learn to finish games.
complete effort huge played proud
It's a huge win. I wanted to see how we responded after that (loss). I'm just really proud of them for their effort tonight. I thought we played a pretty complete game.
finally gets good great putting senior
It's really been a progression. Now, she's finally a senior and she's putting it all together. It's amazing. She finally gets it and then she's graduating, but it's great she finally got it. To me she's having a very good senior year. She's contributing a lot.
court finding focused focusing freshman half herself letting offensive open people problem rebounds second stays steals tough ways year
If her shot's not falling, or she's getting double-teamed, she has no problem finding the open person. For a freshman, sometimes that's a tough adjustment. Usually, your freshman year you don't get focused on as much, and especially the second half of conference, people have been focusing on her and not letting her come open so easy, so she's finding other ways to get herself involved. Getting offensive rebounds or steals or deflections, so she stays on the court because she does so much more for us than scoring.
fill impacts injuries obviously people sad step talent
Obviously (losing Keys) impacts our team, but other people have to step up and fill the void. That's part of the game. Injuries are part of the game. We're sad we don't have Sabrina out there, but we still have a lot of talent and other people have to step up.
