What she did is unacceptable in our program. I've never approved of players talking smack or taunting. You let your game do the talking. If you want to get excited, you get excited for the team. |
What she's found is that you give these post (players) the basketball, they're very unselfish. If they don't have a good 1-on-1 opportunity, they're kicking it out. |
When a team takes ownership, good things happen. |
When she took off, I thought she's going to try to dunk the ball. I was good with it. I thought she just committed to it a little too early. |
You can't win a basketball game in the first half, but you can lose one. We just dug ourselves too big a hole. |
You can't win games in the first half but you certainly can lose them. We just dug ourselves too deep a hole in that first half. In the second half we played them even but in that first half we were not comfortable. |
You could put our entire basketball team and our entire coaching staff in one room, and she has more poise and more composure than any of us. It shows up on the court. I could be about to lose my mind and she's just calm. |

You don't win a basketball game in the first half, but you certainly can lose one. We just dug too deep of a hole. We were just trying to get back into the game and they just answered everything. A lot of those plays were huge. |
You have to believe Duke and North Carolina and Maryland are all going to be teams in the postseason that are going to be very successful. They've proven themselves throughout the season. |
You have to control the defensive boards if you want to win at this stage. I'm concerned about ball control and being on the boards. That's a way you can control the tempo of a game. |
You have to make shots. That's the bottom line. |
You're going to have a huge audience in Thompson-Boling (Arena), plus national television coverage. It's a big game, and yet a lot of people say, 'Is the rivalry still what it used to be?' I don't think it's going to be any different. Both teams are going to be excited to play. |
Yours truly, right here, drove the van. If we took two vans, one was the luggage, the other was the players. Typically, they didn't like to ride with me. I usually drove the luggage, especially if we got beat. |
