Coaching is a roller-coaster ride sometimes for all of us. Yes, this has been a difficult year, but this team knows what it needs to do. |
Consistency is a big priority for us right now. We're not on the roller coaster we were a few weeks ago. |
Duke is really good. There's no question they are good. |
Erika was not good tonight offensively. She gave the effort but they weren't the kinds of looks we need to get. |
Even if she can play, she will not be 100 percent [today]. At this point, we have to be cautious. A re-injury might put her out for the rest of the season. |
Every time I play against her I know that she's making me pay for this one more time. |
First and foremost, Bonnie has done a great job. They're really playing well. They're so disciplined. They'll be hard to beat. I think they'll be a factor in the Big 12. |
I am really going to miss these four seniors. As a group, they represent the best of what student-athletes can be. They are appreciative of every opportunity and resource we have at Texas. They've worked very very hard in basketball. Academically, all of them are a success story. They volunteer and give back in the community. They've guided the freshmen especially well, and each of them has been a great leader and mentor for our young team. |
I could have scheduled more wins for this team, but that's not what this team needed. This is not the team we projected to have on the floor when we started this year. When we put the schedule together, we didn't know who was not going to be available. |
I don't know when Tiffany's going to be ready, so we can't sit around and wait. |
I don't remember another time at Texas when we had more playing time available to a freshman ? We are not banking on the freshmen to give us help in the future. We need them to play now. |
I don't think there's another team in America that is as hard to guard as they are. They wait until you make a mistake, then they knock down shots better than any team I've played. |
I expected this kind of performance after the Georgia game. We probably had an inflated perception of ourselves going into Athens. |
I got tired of seeing her shoot one-foot shots. Let's put her at least 15 feet from the basket and see what she does. |
I have a great deal of respect and admiration for what he's done for our game. No one was more successful than Dean Smith. |
