They were aggressive. We gave them way too many fast-break baskets in the first half. I think I counted up (that) there were 26 points off turnovers and fast-break points they had in the first half. |
This team is Nina?s team, there?s no question about that. It?s always been the senior leadership that has to step forward and Nina has played every game since she stepped on this campus and she?s been in a lot of crucial situations ? and she?s the only one. |

This was not the kind of effort we expected. And not the kind of effort that can result in anything but a loss. |
Tiffany's competitive and she's relentless. Sometimes she'll try to force some things in double team when we'd be better off kicking it out and finding the open person. |
Truly, I appreciate everyone recognizing it, but that's not been on my mind. We need to be as sharp as we can be. We need every win possible. That's been my focus. |
Truly, I appreciate everyone recognizing it, but that's not been on my mind. What's been on my mind is that our team has to be able to bounce back after games like our disappointing loss to Oklahoma [on Wednesday]. This team is really working hard, and we know what the Texas standard is. |
We had a total offensive collapse in the second half. Everything was going our way, but it just fell apart. |
We have too many injuries, and we didn't have any way of knowing this was going to happen to us. The team we have on the floor right now is not the team we projected having at this point in the season. |
We just don't have enough offensive weapons. It's hard when every offensive possession is critical. |
We knew she was going to get her points. I don't think you can focus on shutting her down. I would have been happy if she'd gotten 20 and we did what we did what we needed to do the rest of the way. Unfortunately, we gave them a lot of second opportunities. That was the difference in the ball game. |
We made critical errors as we had a chance to win. We were up 57-50, and then our wheels start to fall off. |
We went in knowing she was going to get her points. Our goal was to make her work harder for them and we did. |
We're improving, but I don't know if we're improving quickly enough. This team has been on its heels for some time. We've been in a perfect storm. |
We've got to be a lot more aggressive. In several situations, they were more physical than we were. |
