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.
beat everybody fine matter point
I'm fine with it. It does not really matter to me. You have to beat everybody at some point anyway.
basketball enamored fantastic happen perhaps points terms turn
It is perhaps a new turn for our game, but I've never been enamored with it. In terms of the game, you just get two points for it. I'm not discounting the dunk. It's just that there are so many other fantastic things that can happen on a basketball court.
days lack point poise practice surprised three wins
After 30 days of practice and three wins now, it was not something I expected. I was very surprised there was a lack of poise from particularly my point guards.
iowa kept minutes played points state
Iowa State played fantastic. When we were up by 10 points (with 6 1/2 minutes to play), Iowa State could have said 'we're done,' but they kept fighting.
graduation guard kid looking point
If we know we've got one graduating, we're looking for another one. It's like getting a point guard or a shooter. It's a kid with an edge. You have to have some of that.
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.
chose courtney defenders
It's a called play. It makes the defenders chose between Courtney and our 3-point shooter. We know we're not just Courtney. That's why we were 16-0 in the conference.
doubles excitement final kids locker neat room rung talked tournament
Once you go to the Final Four, you think you're going to go every year. Then you find out it's really, really hard. These kids have never been here before. We talked in the locker room about how neat it is and how with every rung of this tournament the excitement doubles and triples.
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.
elderly faces grow help homeless majestic middle needy together trees
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 ?
catch challenged hard laura stretch
Laura really challenged (Anderson) down the stretch and made it hard for her to catch the ball.
atmosphere best continue growth noble pick
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.
anne coach courtney floor nancy next watched
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.
