Dionne's kind of a tepid player who doesn't really go for that contact right away. But once you get her mad, she'll make you pay. |
I always try to figure out defensively what we have to do to win the game. Even if they got the 55 we would have won the game by seven - 39 is good. |
I can't say whether the rest is good for us unless we beat Air Force. I like to have the team in a rhythm with two games a week. With the extra time off, you worry about them being game-ready. |
I don't think she was fully recovered last year. She was very tentative, and that restricted her play more than anything else. The injury really held her back and didn't let her play her game. |
I feel confident every time I put her in there that she's going to work hard and won't back down from anyone. She has some freshman moments from time to time, but I really don't feel like there's any drop-off when I put her in the game. |
I knew Wyoming was a tough team capable of beating anybody. It just sure would have been nice if they hadn't of beaten us. |
I like the fact that we separate ourselves from the men's (Sunday announcement). The teams are deserving of that. Women's basketball can stand on its own, and that's a good way to get started. |
I like triangle, but we have a hard time even running set plays with this team, so motion is definitely the better option. Even if everyone doesn't find the right spot, they're always making cuts and moving. If they move, they score. |
I think it's highly unlikely she'll play. We don't want to rush her back and risk aggravating the injury. |
I thought one of the things that really hurt us was offensive rebounding. When they got an offensive rebound, they scored off of it. |
I thought our intensity was excellent. I thought our defense was excellent. We shot the ball. I was pride of our intensity and poise we had in the game. |
I thought the second half we played harder. We executed a little better and we defended a little better. |
I'm not sure why we haven't been taking care of the ball as well at home. We have to make smarter passes and think about what we're doing at all times. |
I'm so glad to have her back. She gives us a lot of energy. Anytime you add depth to the team, it's an advantage. |
If we had gotten her, we would have been good right away. I don't think she could visualize the same dream that I had. I just had nothing to sell. The only thing I had was my idea of success. It's hard to get anybody to buy in when you've got nobody in the stands and your background is that your RPI is 325 out of 330 teams. |
