great mistakes slow team
It was a great team effort. We were able to play a lot of kids. We made some mistakes -- we had way too many turnovers (22) -- but we didn't slow down.
game hope people shows skills start teams watch
I want the game to be exciting. I want people to want to watch women's basketball. It shows our skills and abilities. I hope other teams will start to play like we do.
slow throw
I want it to be exciting, up and down the floor. We can play bad, throw it all over the gym, but we're not going to slow it down.
exciting fall love people points reason score
I want people to fall in love with women's basketball, and that's one reason why we go up and down the floor. I want them to score a lot of points and make it exciting and fun.
balance double five good kids looked strength
At times we looked pretty good out there, at times we were a little ragged. We had five kids in double figures, and that balance is a strength of our team.
best days enthusiasm few last team
The last few days have been wild, to put it mildly. It's been great, the attention, the enthusiasm over the team and our ranking. But everybody's going to give us their best shot.
definitely deserve good great hopefully maybe playing road somewhere team work
They're about the only good team that's not (in our bracket). They definitely deserve to be a No. 1 seed, and maybe somewhere down the road we will get to play. But there's a lot of great teams. I just want us to keep playing the way we've been playing, and hopefully things work out where we'll be able to be in Boston.
basketball blocked defense floor game great national teams
It will be like a national championship game because you're going to have two teams out there that are just going to be incredible, talented, athletic, skilled, up-and-down the floor defense and blocked shots. You are going to see a lot of great basketball (today).
agree bracket final four great help motivate played regional seems strength teams year
You could make a great Final Four just from the teams in our regional alone. Everyone seems to agree it's the toughest. But, we've played great teams all year and we'll be prepared. I think the strength of this bracket will help motivate our team.
basketball carolina good half playing second
The first half and the second half were very different. We weren't rebounding and weren't playing very good defense. Once we started playing Carolina basketball we were OK.
heart
All I know is that we're going to play with a lot of heart and passion, and we're going to have fun.
ball four fun good run strong teams watch
All the teams, they go up and down the floor, run the ball well, they have a strong inside-outside game. Just good balance, good flow. All four teams here are a lot of fun to watch play.
team kids giving
It's good to give some of the kids a chance for playing time and some confidence. It doesn't do any good to leave starters out there just to beat a team by 60-70 points.
biggest
I think the biggest thing was the rebounding. I can live with everything else out there. We'll straighten that out.
