tournament win
I think we've got to win this tournament just to go to the NIT.
foul hit key playing shots team
My team didn't quit, after not playing well in the first half. We got key rebounds, hit foul shots and were able to finish.
conference qualify
As a competitor, you don't want to qualify for your conference tournament, because, not only did you lose, but someone else also lost, which is why you got in. You really want to get in by winning.
democracy special hell
No, there are no special places in hell. Hell is a democracy.
respectful social stance
Human beings take social stances, and if you’re respectful of all human beings, you have to decide what you’re going to do and why you’re going to do it.
monsters shows
We make our own monsters, then fear them for what they show us about ourselves.
players
We're just not comfortable with our go-to players in the stretch.
bench coming game sloppy
We're just short-handed. They were coming off the bench with All-Americans. We were coming off the bench with trainers. We had to make it a sloppy game because it was the only way we could play right now.
beat breaks coming eight game girls group lost needed proud prouder regroup row time tough
We needed all the breaks this game for us to beat Rutgers and we got them. We'll take them every time we can get them. I'm just so proud of the girls. We were coming off a tough season. We lost eight in a row after Meg went down and we really couldn't find our identity. But right now I've never been prouder of a group of girls to really regroup and do the things they've done here in this tournament.
