Luckily we won the game by two, but I thought it was a well-played game. Both teams played very, very well, and I'm just proud of the kids. We won a lot of close games this year. |
There were some brutal possessions on our part in the last four minutes. |
They are built for this tournament right now. That's why I think they can go pretty deep. |
They are going to be scary for a long time. And I'm including this year when I say that. |
They are probably the most athletic team we played this year. |
They put their pants on one leg at a time just like we do. It just takes them a little longer to get them up. |
They turned up the intensity, and having a team as young as ours, our shot selection wasn't as good in the second half. They're young and we're young. We're going to be different teams a month from now. |
Those last four minutes we played not to lose instead of to win, that's something we can't do. |
To be honest with you, ASU had its first off game of the year, and luckily it was against us. (ASU) will come out playing hard and go after it today. They are an excellent team. We know we are in for a tough game. |
We have to win three more games. |
We just ran into a buzz saw. I don't want to make excuses. We just didn't play well. A lot of teams play seven people. I think it was a question of Stanford being a monster out there tonight. |
We were going with a triangle-and-two and a diamond-and-one. It's like pick-your-poison with them. We wanted to force the other kids to knock down shots and they did. We left people wide open. |
We're a game out of first place right now, so who knows? These kids never cease to surprise me with the things they can do so, you know, let's just go out and play. If we get two (wins) this weekend we're really really in a good position. |
What makes her so tough is that she's so athletic. But you know, she's due for an off game. |
Wiggins is the real deal. She's the Vince Young of women's basketball. |
