divided games greatest history home mean ok playoff teams
It's going to be a shootout at the OK Corral, ... One of the greatest games in playoff history. Being at home doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win. These are two of the most evenly divided teams to ever play in the history of the playoffs.
elite everybody forefront giants longer shot teams whatever winning
(Sharp) has been at the forefront of whatever we've accomplished in women's basketball. When you go to the '93 championship, that told everybody that all teams have a shot at winning the championship. It was no longer a championship for the elite or the few. I just think she's one of the giants of our game.
good job taking
They did a good job of taking us out of our offense.
gold good proved trust word work
The Comets organization proved to me their word is as good as gold. That's all I go by. If I can't trust you, I don't want to work for you.

The championship opened it up for so many teams out there. Everybody thought it was possible to win a championship after Texas Tech won it.

It was an absolute fight to get in, ... I think these two teams are evenly matched. We almost won out there; they almost won in here. In four games, every stat you can find indicates that we're about dead even.

It's hard to believe we could come in here and win two games on the road.

It's hard to believe that we came in here and won two games on the road.
I'm going to tell you now. I've not said this much,
basketball four game gold greatest handled helped herself respect win
I respect everything about Sheryl, how she's handled herself on and off the court. To me, she will always be one of the greatest ambassadors for the game of women's basketball and as a person has helped me win four (WNBA) championships and two gold medals.
best both hurt later needed players rush stages taking
I don't know when they're going to come back. We're taking it day by day and don't want to rush them back too early. That may hurt in the later stages of the Olympics. Both players are needed because they're two of our best perimeter shooters on the team.
cut format game home lose turnaround winning work
We've got our work cut out for us in Seattle, ... This format is when you lose the home game first, it's just a bear. But that's not to say that (a turnaround and winning the series) can't be done.
