change defense difference extend game
She really did change the game because we were not able to get a '55' defense. I thought the difference was her being able to extend the defense at full-court level.
wish
I wish we could get a little more out of her offensively, and I think it's going to come.
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.
apart bad carries fast game good matter nobody seems slow stop taking
She seems to see the game slow down, no matter how fast she's moving. She's very good at taking the game apart and not taking bad shots. And when she's going to make things happen, she carries that 'ain't nobody going to stop me' attitude.
believe bright brought competition future great level staff
She's done a great job. She and her staff have really brought the level of competition up ... I believe the future is very bright for Pittsburgh. Very, very bright.
class faces freshman gave looked nine people senior wins
When I looked in the faces of the senior class, this is the class as freshman that had nine wins and 20 losses. People gave up on us, but they (the seniors) didn't.
anybody creating essence great pleasure takes
Essence takes great pleasure in creating zeros on anybody that she plays.
against job somebody
Essence's job was to keep Duffy quiet. When Duffy scored it was against somebody else.
deserve east eight good ncaa nine squad teams
They are an NCAA team. They are a good young squad who deserve to go. The Big East should get eight or nine teams in.
against game matter question shots win
The win that we had against them (Feb. 7) really didn't matter much. One game for us isn't going to say, 'Hey, we're the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite. There's no question about that.
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.
highest
They're tournament-tested and play at the highest level. They're ready.
anybody appreciate bent bit claimed competition envelope hoped jewel loves people push shape terms thinking
A lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the east. 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.
clothes
They knew. I have clothes I want to wear.
