She's here now. The big thing is the time is now and the moment is now and we're all here. We have to play for that. There's no sense in thinking about the future. |
She's huge. Because she doesn't play (as much as other players), it allows her to focus on what we do on the court. |
She's kind of like our motivator for us. She tells us how it is. When we do hear her comments, we take them to heart. We realize, OK, it's time to play basketball. |
That's those long rebounds that we kind of have trouble with from time to time. We'll do a better job rebounding. |
The defense is going to help win games. We knew what we had to do to get it done. |
Their guards help make their post players better. The guards are very capable of penetrating and kicking it to the post players and scoring. |
They all are still really great shooters, so we still have to be able to go in and still contest shots. We can't leave anything wide open and can't take anything for granted. |
This won't be based on numbers like that. Ohio State is an outstanding team. We have to come out with a lot of intensity. |
We came out with a vengeance and a lot of intensity. We knew what we had to do to win this game. |
We came out with a vengeance. We played with intensity and heart and hustle. |
We can go all the way. We have the confidence. There's no pressure on us right now. North Carolina has all the pressure. |
We have to be able to really get ready and get out there and prepare for their shooting, their penetration and everything that they do. |
We have to take what the defense gives us. We're looking for what we have. |
We kind of started that game like we hadn't played in a while. Once we got into the flow of things, we understood what their defense was doing and we understood where the open shots were. |
When you're in a tight game like that, you really have to concentrate on the guard play. |
