counted knew
I mean, really. I knew they counted on our fans, but wow.
anybody appreciate bent bit build came claimed competition envelope hoped jewel loves people push shape terms thinking
I came to Rutgers to try to build Rutgers to become the jewel of the East. I really think a lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the East. I don't know where you're going to get 'jewel' when you are undiscovered and unpolished. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the East. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.
concerned game glad greatly style
I'm glad we got that one out of the way. I was greatly concerned about Dartmouth. This kind of game is uncomfortable as a rule, because of the style of play. Fortunately we're going to go on and see another style of play.
matter overall time truth
I think overall we were rusty. But the truth of the matter is if we don't know what time it is, it's time to play.
bring care deal meet rather takes team
I would much rather meet them and deal with them now. That's the way I feel about it. The only thing it does for me is like, bring 'em on. I don't really care. And so if my team takes that same attitude, I don't care who we play and when we play.
anyone girl greatness percent shooting watched
That girl is shooting over 50 percent from the floor. ... Anyone who has watched greatness has to know this girl is getting it done.
confidence everybody given good leader whatever
She's been a leader right from the beginning. She can play whatever we need her to play. What's good about it is, she's given so much confidence to everybody else.
attacking executing extra pass smooth transition
Offensively we were not making the extra pass and not getting a nice, smooth transition look. We were not attacking or executing our patterns. It wasn't Villanova. It's just the way we play.
adequately chance control happen stop
I think I've addressed it adequately that it's not going to get a chance to get like that, because I'll stop it real quick. It's not going to happen again. I can control that.
felt played selfish shown
It's the same issues. It's not that I didn't know we had posts that haven't shown up. This is bad. I felt we played selfish basketball. I thought we did not play very smart. Our rebounding was very lax; we did not play as if we had a purpose.
ahead bad obviously others rather speak wait
It's just that it's getting so bad. It's so obviously bad that rather than wait for there to be others who speak out with me, I'll just go ahead and do it on my own.
felt good great special
They are really just special young ladies. They're daughters. They're great daughters. It felt good today. It felt good to see them smile.

deal deserved fought great heart overlooked played point
I think (West Virginia) played with a great deal of heart and determination. They were small, but they fought hard. I don't know if we overlooked them, but there is no point complaining about it. We deserved to lose.
