It's not characteristic of our program to lose two at home, let alone three. That was our battle-cry coming into the game. |
It's the type of game where you say it's a shame for the team that loses. The game was fought from the moment the ball was thrown up. |
Obviously, we never step on the court thinking we're going to lose. But if the game is going the other way we need to find ways to get better. |
Our desire overcame whatever adversity we faced playing on the road. Ultimately, we wore them down. |
People know that when they're playing for me and for my staff, our team will never give up. They're going to fight. Once we put two halves together, we'll be a good team. |
Playing on the road at Wisconsin and Penn State early will test us and give us an idea of what life on the road will be like in the BIG EAST. Playing those games in that short period of time will make us stronger and help us achieve our goals of being in the post season. |
She started early, penetrating to the hoop. It's good to see her being aggressive. |
She was so physical. She's doing great. She brought so much passion to the floor tonight. |
She was tenacious. She stepped on the court expecting to win every time. |
She's had it wrapped the last couple of weeks. She's had a fantastic tournament until today, and the other players really came out and stepped it up. |
She's somebody that's a winner. She's constantly in the gym working on her game. She didn't play well against Louisville. She didn't play like a senior and didn't lead the best she could. She had a quick turnaround, and we had two great practices. I wasn't surprised we went into St. John's like we did. |
The crowd was amazing. This is the place where we want to be. |
The crowd was unbelievable. They gave us so much energy and got us through moments that we struggled maybe just a little bit. We're just so happy the students came out and got the entire crowd going in support. |
The overall plan was to play our zone because we have so much respect for the athleticism of St. John's that we really needed a containment mentality. |
The wonderful thing about the Big East is that you have to be prepared to play against great players and great coaches every game. We were not fooled by Georgetown's record. |
