For her to come in and earn a starting spot and dominate the way she has says a lot about her and how good she is and how hard she has worked since she has gotten here. |
I definitely let my mind wander and think, because that's what I want to build. That's my vision and I'm working hard to achieve it. |
I felt like our defensive focus and intensity for 40 minutes was the best it's been all year. I'm excited about our team's energy overall. |
I think it's a huge advantage because our comfort level is good at home. We play in front of our own crowd so the excitement level is there. The kids' families are all here so it's just a comfortable place, they don't need any added any motivation when their at home. |
It means so much to our program at Hartford, not just to get a win in the NCAA Tournament, but to get a win over a top-25 program that's been nationally ranked for two seasons. I thought we had a good game plan and stuck to it. |
It's fun to be on both sides of it, I'll be honest. It's a lot more pressure to be on the other end, where you're the higher seed. Georgia is expected to win, and if they don't, it's a disappointing end to their season. Not that it won't be disappointing for us to lose, but if things happen to go our way, it's history in the making. |
It's never too early to draw up a game plan for your financial future. Having some financial insight and foresight before graduation would have helped me feel more prepared for the real world. |
She willed us not just to win, but to play like this. Erika has meant everything to this team all weekend and all season long. |
She's always done it in the shadows. She's never tried to be the star, the leading scorer, the MVP. She's never tried to be that. She does it because of how good she is. |
This year and last year the team has really responded to her and she learned how to handle that responsibility. She's gone from shying away from that and sometimes crumbling under that pressure to learning how to deal with it and make us better for it. |
We can't win the basketball game without Erika in the game. |
We got to here because of our defense. Today we just kept going at them with 3-pointers and going into the post and it was just too much for them. Although our defense was solid again, this was definitely an offensive day. |
We have to really schedule tougher in our non-conference and we have to win games that we're not 'supposed' to win. And then we've got to win our league. |
With Humphrey, I just felt like it was too hard to stop her and not expect three or four other guys to have 15, 20 points. So our game plan, to be honest, was to let her get 20-something points. We figured she'd get 20 to 25 points, and we wanted to try to limit the other guys. |
