building expect great practice week
She had a really great week of practice building up to this, so I expect her to play her game. I don't think she'll be nervous.
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.

It's one of the biggest wins in my three years. We're definitely peaking at the end.

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.
basketball beat classy game great leave respect team
They're a great team and they're very well-coached. They're great, but not cocky. They go out there and leave it all on the floor. ... They're a classy organization. I respect them a lot, and we'll have to play a great basketball game to beat them.
catalyst defense proud
The defense is the catalyst to our offense, so I was really proud of them for their effort.
ball composure dug handle job nice ourselves percentage pressured rushing shooting took turned
We didn't handle that very well. They pressured us and made us rush, especially early. That's why our shooting percentage was so low. We were rushing shots. We turned the ball over we didn't play with a lot of composure and we dug ourselves a hole. Defensively they did a nice job on us and took us out of our game.
family great playing sisters talked
We talked about playing in the past. It made sense with the two sisters playing. It's great for their family too.
