adjusting altitude bit carried coming crew good half momentum second time took trouble
I thought our crew was good once we got going. We had a little trouble adjusting to the altitude at the beginning. It took us a little bit to get our second wind. We carried some momentum into half time and I thought we were really good coming out in the second half.

If you can survive all that heat, you can exploit on the back side. Gary knows that. It's a risk he takes.
ability anybody bad felt head left message might path send taste ultimate
I wouldn't say it left a bad taste in my mouth. But I felt like it negated our ability to send a really resounding message to anybody who might be in our path as we head to our ultimate goal.

There's nothing about Courtney that's typical. She works hard, has been willing to take on a leadership role as a freshman, is open to learning new things every day and wants to make her team better.
dominant free gone good night shot similar single throws
Her play was similar to how it has gone all season. There was a lot of single coverage. She is such a dominant presence. She shot her free throws well today. Even the ones that she missed, she shot better. She had a pretty good night or lunch.

The trees in the middle grow majestic because of it. How important it is that we all get together and help those nameless faces to grow ? the elderly and homeless and the needy ?

Laura really challenged (Anderson) down the stretch and made it hard for her to catch the ball.

I think we are on the right track. As much as I would like to have the atmosphere that we would have at the Lloyd Noble Center, I think that this is probably best for the growth of women's basketball. I think it will continue to pick up steam.

I just watched film of Anne Donovan and Nancy Lieberman and Cheryl Miller, and I've never been on the floor next to them when they played. But I've never in my 10 years as coach been on the floor with anything like Courtney Paris.

I'm really glad that we have this carrot of going undefeated, to dangle out there in front of them to keep them directed and going after a prize. It's like a good hunting dog - they need something to chase.
consistency display history looked point remarkable throughout
I don't know that any of us could have ever looked at any 18-year-old kid, at any point in the history of this game, and thought that they could display the consistency that she has displayed throughout this season. That, to me, is a remarkable thing.

I'm really proud of this team and what we've accomplished. Securing a Big 12 championship with games yet to be played is a pretty special accomplishment and we're not taking it for granted for one single second. We're just not going to celebrate it with all the euphoria yet, because there's so much out there still that we can do.
