We feel pretty good right now. We are back to winning the way that we were before the skid. We are back on our upswing, and we feel it.
|
We got hesitant down the stretch. We had a few too many turnovers and that's disappointing, but we're working on it.
|
We got tentative, we lost our aggressiveness at both ends. We made some goofy turnovers. We knew they would make a push with Wiggins and Smith, but I felt good about our chances.
|
We had lapses defensively that we don't normally have.
|
We had this massive target on our back. Everybody was throwing in shots from everywhere that they'll never make again in their lives.
|
We have a lot more fans coming to the tournament this year.
|
We have depth and we have speed. When we run on you and pressure you for 40 minutes, you're in for a long, hard day.
|
We have the mentality and we understand the expectations that have been set. Knowing you can do it and actually doing it are two different things, but for now, I know we can repeat from last year.
|
We just have to work a lot harder and take away their transition offense and neutralize Wiggins and Smith.
|
We just need to take it one game at a time. Obviously, the most formidable opponent is Stanford. We just need to come out and play hard and try to salvage this road trip.
|
We just weren't getting after it. (Oregon State's Mandy Close) is their best three-point shooter. You don't give her a three-pointer. We weren't taking things away. I just challenged them to start doing the things that they're capable of doing, and they did.
|
We played pretty average and we only lost by one. So by no means have we lost a lot of confidence in ourselves.
|
We really wanted to make them work hard and I think they got tired. They were losing the game, and with the fatigue combined it's easy to not have positive responses sometimes.
|
We set out at the beginning of the season to take the next step this year. So I know that in their minds that's their goal, to go at least one step further than we went last year. I think that would be outstanding for us to be able to do.
|
We stayed aggressive and kept attacking. The way (Oregon State) battled with what they had should be commended.
