They're a young team, and we've got young players too. But, we've also got strong veterans on our team that we can rely on. Cal doesn't have that luxury. |
They're better every which way. They're just a lot more consistent and a lot more confident. They're always a good team, you just see that level of confidence that last year, maybe, without any seniors, wasn't always there. |
This game, the way we approached it, is that it was for a Pac-10 championship. Obviously it gives us life, in terms of being in that upper echelon, top couple of teams. |
This team is making me look good right now. We had no choice. We had no margin of error and, honestly, because we had seen everybody. We saw what they had, and we saw what we had, and we knew we were the better team. |
To be able to win against a team as great as Stanford, just gutting it out with our defense is exciting. We weren't letting them establish an inside game, which obviously put a lot more pressure on Candice. |
We are certainly over the hump as far as having doubts that we are one of the best teams in the country. |
We are still grooming our floor leadership. |
We build a big lead and we let it go. We definitely played scoreboard basketball tonight. |
We can only control what we do, not what other teams do. |
We controlled the boards, therefore, we controlled the game. That was our number one goal. |
We did a good job of taking some things away. We took them out of their offense and pressured them. I thought we really started strong. |
We did what we do. We started strong, executed well, ran the ball well. |
We did what we said we were going to do and this is where we ended up. |
We didn't bring any rebounding, but man, we brought a championship mentality. I think that's what we won with. We showed amazing guts. |
We didn't execute three times in a row. We didn't execute the last eight minutes of the game either. Obviously that was the difference. |
