Carol, once again, comes in and kind of saves the day. She does a fantastic job of understanding what her role is. What more is there to say except that she did what she had to do to help this team win? |
For us to be consistently here, instead of at an unknown facility for a couple of days, is just a huge advantage. People are just so supportive in Mackey. We always get a great crowd and once our fans get going, it's a great feeling. |
I don't know if it was her accent or if she just didn't have anything to say. But if that's the reason she's playing better, than that's fine with me. |
I guess it is kind of a little break, but at the same time we have to come out and play basketball. We have to defend our home court and we can't take any team for granted. |
I think we came out with a vengeance and a lot of intensity. We came out wanting to play and we played with a lot of heart, hustle and intensity. We all had it on defense. We knew what we had to do to get it done this game. |
I think we just came out with a vengeance. We came out with heart, hustle, and intensity. |
I think we were definitely able to contain them. With those three you can't really stop them completely, but I thought we did an excellent job on Noelle. |
I thought she was going to come out here and get like 50 points. If you have Katie on fire like that, there's no reason not to go to her. |
I wanted that win more than anything. |
I went in with the mindset that I want to win this so bad. I felt like I needed to put myself in that role and in a position to go out there and help this team. I knew I had to be more aggressive on offense and I've got to be a threat. |
It gives you an emotional break. You just kind of re-group and get ready to play. We left everything we had on the floor against Ohio State. |
It kind of sounds like it makes our job easier, but it doesn't. There's no way we can just sit there and not defend anybody. |
It's definitely a sigh of relief. Practice for the past few days has been getting out there, practicing, shooting, getting after it, and stuff like that. Now that we finally know who it is, we can prepare for it. |
Lindsay was phenomenal. She's always aggressive on the boards and she is getting better and better at getting into the passing lanes and getting steals. |
She's a great player, but you can't shy away from going inside against her. |
