clicking defense needed offense pick second time
We weren't energized, we didn't have any energy. Our offense wasn't clicking the way it should have been, and our defense wasn't the best. It was just the time that we needed to pick it up, especially in the second half.
jump
My eye's on the prize. We want to win. But if we don't, I'm not going to jump off a bridge.
great help players pressure supporting
No pressure at all because I know I have a great supporting cast, I have a lot of great players here that are going to help me get through this season. I don't feel like I have to do everything.
came needed second talked talking understand wrong
She came in and talked to us like young women. I think we can take to the talking more than the yelling. We understand what we did wrong and what we needed to do in the second half.
defense energy
Our defense was tenacious. We had the energy which we didn't have at Connecticut. The defense initiated a lot of our offense.
expect increase level pick san
This is another eye-opener for us, and I expect that our level of play will increase and it will pick up as we get into San Antonio.
energy felt level needed offense step tip
Our offense was not as effective. I would not say our energy level was low. But, it was not tip top. I felt I needed to do something to step up my game.
national thoughts win
I just had a lot of thoughts about the opportunities we've had (to win a national championship). I also thought about the opportunities we have now.
glad happy history win
I'm just glad to be part of the history here. I'm more happy to get a win than the 2,000 points.
program sisterhood understand
I really don't understand how a men's and women's program wouldn't get along. It's like brotherhood and sisterhood with us.
feeling six win
Hopefully, we win six games, and we never have that feeling of disappointment.
inspirational looking needs work
I can't think of better inspiration. It's right there. You're looking at it this is what you work for. There's nothing else that needs to be said or heard.
against compete mastered men outside perform point until
Then, I would go outside and perform those drills, until I had not only mastered them but got to the point where I could compete against men. And men who were 20, 30 plus, not just teenagers.
adapt adjust happened helped helps inspire katrina motivate victims witnessed
That helps motivate us. We witnessed everything that happened firsthand and the way we had to adjust and adapt to the situation. The Katrina victims really helped inspire us.
