freak happened minutes react score sure teams
There will be times when we won?t score for 10 minutes and some teams may freak out because that?s not really happened to them before. Unfortunately -- or fortunately, I?m not really sure -- it?s happened to us, so we know how to react to it.

Coach was not happy with us. He told us we just need to flush this (game) down the toilet and forget about it.

I just tried real hard all summer. I wanted to improve a lot, and I guess other people noticed it as well.

ball brings came carries challenges coach gets played plays pushes team took
I think coach always challenges you when you're not doing well and I think she just took the challenge and came out and played really well. When Renee plays well it just carries our whole team, and especially when she gets after it defensively and she pushes the ball it just brings our team to a whole other level.
came confidence found good helps knowing needed open ready
I just came out ready to shoot. I just found myself open a lot and I just came in knowing that I needed to contribute. It was nice. My confidence hasn't been down or anything, but it's always good to have good nights. It helps a lot.
