difficult experience players younger
This is something new for the new and younger players in our program. Sometimes your experience can play into that and make it a little more difficult for your team.
confidence laura pleased shooting
I'm pleased with how Laura is shooting the ball. She has a lot of confidence right now.
coaches radar
I had coaches tell me that had we not done that, she wouldn't have been on the radar screen.
I didn't tell anyone. Not Zane, not any of the other players. I didn't want that distraction.
continues hard hope motivate rest saw sitting team worked
I hope, with the rest of the team sitting here, that it's motivation. They saw how hard she worked in her career. I hope this continues to motivate them.
chess confident game match mental time within
It's always a chess match this time of year. It's more mental than anything else and I don't want to say we feel confident about anyone, but we feel confident within our own game in what we can do and take away from people.
against attacked covering good job
They did a pretty good job of covering her up. I didn't think we attacked as well against that zone.
defensive key offensive preached six year
We preached all year long what defensive rebounding does. With 3:03 remaining, we were out-rebounding them 38-21. They had six offensive boards. That's the big difference. That's a big key for us.
continue felt
It was rough. Regardless, you just have got to continue to play through and make adjustments. I felt like we were able to do that.
anxious bit compete develop game harder next physical room single sore stiff talked taste weight
After the pre-draft camp, we talked about it and she talked about how sore and stiff she was and I told her this is first look at how it's going to be every day after practice. You have to compete every single day on a very physical level. She has a taste of what it will be like and she's probably pretty anxious to get in the weight room a little bit more and little bit harder and do some things to develop her game for the next level.
defended games gave hard home momentum tough
It's huge. They gave us two hard games back-to-back on our home court. We defended it and showed how tough we are and that momentum will take us through conference.
along basics conference confident feet last situation sure three winning won
It's not a situation of panic, that's the last thing you want to do. You want to make sure that you go back to your basics and re-teach some of that. We have to take things in stride. I've said all along that this conference can be won with three losses. I'm confident that we can get back on our feet and back to our winning ways.
best effort sit team
There is never a team we play where we can just sit back and not show up. We have to show up every night. Sometimes we don't give our best effort but we still find a way to win.
ball basketball care continue defense folks good night offense ready rebound scoring winning
We have to ready every night to play defense and rebound the basketball, the offense will take care of itself. And that's what we did. We got good scoring out of a lot of folks and that's what winning us ball games. That has to continue down the road.
