I thought we got some pretty good looks the last seven minutes. They're just a big-time team playing a big-time game in a big-time atmosphere. |
I thought we were just a little hurried in the first half. You can't throw the ball to them. You can't just give them the ball. |
I?m really kind of oblivious to it. I think the players are, too. I just think these kinds of streaks come and go, and this one has just kind of happened. I?m impressed by our players? mental ability to respect our opponents. |

It's hard to imagine Maggie with the generals. |

Pitt is a good basketball team. They have talented players, who play at a high level, and are deserving of playing in the next tournament (the NCAA). |

She had the gift of being able to talk to paupers and princes equally. If you asked me how old she was, I'd tell you 38-to-42. And I mean that as compliment to her maturity. |
She knows when to hold 'em, she knows when to fold 'em. She knows when to walk away. ... I just love how she's playing the game very simply and that's a total compliment. |
She said, 'I like to knit and read good books. Maggie had the gift of Irish blarney. |
She's been sick for a week, but to her credit, she's been able to play through it. We always want to be a balanced scoring team. Jenna and Allie (Quigley) have done a great job all season in stepping up when we need them. |
