players team time
This time of the year, nothing replaces experience. It's what we have to go on. It can't be one or two players who will put the team on their backs.
basketball believe build confidence confident good kids places pull remind
We just have to pull some kids out of the places they're in. Some kids aren't as confident as they need to be. We have to build their confidence and remind them they're still a good basketball team. They've got to believe it and play like it.
best effort giving jamie players playing team
When Jamie is playing up to her capabilities, she can be one of the best players in the country. We had other players on our team giving us the effort we needed.
duration easier help
We have to have more help in that area. I'm not making excuses, but we need to make things a little easier for us for the duration of the game, not just the beginning.
bench herself jamie sitting
We can't have Jamie sitting on the bench for very long. Jamie's got to find a way to keep herself on the floor.
loss practice weeks
We have two weeks of practice to get things done. Hopefully, this loss will make us better.
against road runs second sustain teams
When we're on the road against a top-10 team, teams are going to go on runs and you've got to be able to sustain the runs and we did not in the second half.
definitely extremely flat half job played second
We definitely did a better job in the second half on pressuring the basketball. We played extremely flat in the first half.
answer both
We didn't have an answer for both of them.
conference control good half midway played slowly tempo win
We started slowly but played better midway through the first half and were able to control the tempo of the game. It's always good to get that first win in conference play.
basketball best hopefully next
Hopefully we can play our best basketball next week.
anybody good players preparing ten
We're preparing for this as if it was a Big Ten game. Our players have been pretty good about not overlooking anybody on our schedule.
good learned
What I learned about this team, and what we all learned about this team, is we're not as good as we need to be right now.
capability felt jamie playing
I felt like we didn't have Jamie the whole game. Jamie didn't play up to her capability offensively or defensively. I thought she was playing scared, and I thought she was playing a little tentative out there.
