I just kept telling them we should be playing this like it's the Pac-10 championship. I was trying to appeal to their championship mentality and them being winners. |
I think we had a lot of confidence coming out at halftime that we had saved our best for the second half. We were playing good defense and we knew what we needed to do. |
I think we had a lot of confidence coming out of halftime, that we had saved our best. |
I think we have to do that. The way they were looking to run, that was exciting. Make or miss, we just pushed it. |
I think we're at a point in our program where we can pretty much match up with anybody. I think we've proven that throughout the season. It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to come out on top, but it's pretty fun to be in a situation where you go into a game and it's just a question of executing your game plan. |
I thought everybody kind of found their shots today. Everybody was really playing to their strengths offensively, which we have not necessarily done the last three games. |
I thought that was a real highlight that we did a good job of establishing an inside game. |
I was hoping we could really put the foot on the jugular, but we had a few too many let ups on defense. |
I would hope that the kid didn't mean to. But I don't know, I didn't have a clear view of it. |
I'm confident we are going to get back what we had. Stanford is going to be a great challenge for us. It's obviously a great team. |
I'm excited for this weekend . . . to see how we'll grow from this, and to see how good we can be under these circumstances. I know this team and its character. I think we can prevent this from happening again. I really do. |
I'm happy to be here. |
I've had agents tell me how good of a player Kristen is, so it's disappointing. But now she's just weighing her options. She's figuring out what she wants to do. |
If we're playing at America West Arena, obviously we're not at home, but our 4,000 fans will make it feel like home. That's a pretty good advantage, but it just is what it is. It's not something that we worry about. |
It seems like everybody's game plan is [to] wait until we throw it inside and swarm us. We always eventually do throw it inside, but we can kick it out and find our shooters. |
