hurts kept last loss maybe point puts quite win
I don't know that a win here puts us in, but a loss here hurts us quite a bit. Last year, that was one that we did point to and say maybe this kept us out.
ball game good
We thought we would be able to get the ball inside, and I thought Megan had another very good game for us.
best build came continued experience great outcome possible
I can't even think, if it continued that way, what would have happened. It wouldn't have been very pretty. On the other hand, having the experience like this, with the comeback, can build great confidence. Do you want it to happen? No, you never want to be down 17-2. But, the best possible outcome came out of this.
basketball fun incredibly watch
We're going to be an incredibly young basketball team, but sometimes that's fun, too. Sometimes they don't know what they're in for, so it's kind of fun to watch them go through that.
couple fun next time
We could really have a fun time in the next couple years.
basketball incredibly starting

addition basketball eye felt great iowa secure sign thrilled time tremendous watched
She has been a great addition to our basketball team. We were thrilled when we were able to sign Kristi Smith. We watched her play for a long time and we had our eye on her a long time. We felt she was going to be a tremendous player. So we were thrilled when we were able so secure her as an Iowa Hawkeye. We kind of felt like we stole her.
basketball good
She is going to be a very, very good basketball player.
games herself knows maybe picked pressure putting row starting
Megan maybe is putting too much pressure on herself in the starting position, because this is two games in a row that it's happened. She's picked up over-the-back calls, things she knows better (than to do).
fast great ran
Megan has great hands, great footwork for a freshman. The other day in practice, she got out and ran the fast break,
certainty good hand kitchen last months recipe spending whip women
Like any good cook, you go back in the kitchen and you revamp your recipe and you take what you have on hand and you still make up something pretty good. And I think after spending the last two months with the women on our team, I think that with certainty we can whip up something pretty good.
