awesome best challenge coming continuing easier excited great series teams
After the break, it doesn't get any easier for us. We're excited to play Rice, who is coming off a great season, and Virginia, one of the best teams in the ACC, at home. We know we have an awesome challenge after that in DePaul, continuing what has been a great series over the years.
four half players points
All-American players go from four points in the first half to 20.
east figure future team
We are going to have to figure out a way in our future in the Big East to play with a team like Villanova.
gives great knew needed
We knew without Carolyn on the court, everyone had to do something extra. There are a lot of things Carolyn gives us that we needed to make up for, and we did a lot of great things tonight.
basketball happy nobody thinking walking
We're happy about the win. But nobody is walking out of here thinking that's what Marquette basketball is all about.
analyzing busy reminded team
I just reminded them that we're a much better team with energy. We had been too busy analyzing (the game), and there had not been enough reacting.
focus incredible routine scouting understood until
I don't think any of them understood (college basketball) until they got used to the incredible focus it take, the scouting reports, all the film. It was a challenge, and now it's become routine for them.
focus whatever
It's a focus for us. You want to be the queen. It's whatever we can do to get our players' attention.
chance conference definitely east environment experience fortunate heading help
It will definitely help us to play at Connecticut right before heading to the BIG EAST Conference Tournament. We feel that we will be fortunate to get a chance to experience that environment before embarking on the conference tournament.
mistake rhythm throws
We play everyone, and sometimes that throws the team's rhythm off. A lot of the time, it's the same mistake being made by different people.
needed overall plan respect zone
The overall plan was to play our zone because we have so much respect for the athleticism of St. John's that we really needed a containment mentality.
alone coming lose program
It's not characteristic of our program to lose two at home, let alone three. That was our battle-cry coming into the game.
against best constantly great gym lead quick senior somebody surprised
She's somebody that's a winner. She's constantly in the gym working on her game. She didn't play well against Louisville. She didn't play like a senior and didn't lead the best she could. She had a quick turnaround, and we had two great practices. I wasn't surprised we went into St. John's like we did.
ball defense handle harder key multiple people
If the ball is always in one person's hands, the defense will key in on that person. Having multiple people handle the ball is harder to defend.
