She is a great player and a true point guard. She plays in the European 'B' league, and she has been asked to turn pro and get on the fast track to the French national team. But she wants to fulfill her dream of coming to America and playing college basketball. |
Smith is a Kodak, All-American candidate. More than scoring, she makes the people around her look better. She has earned her mark in history. |
That stunned me, to be honest. I have confidence that those are the situations that we will understand and handle a lot better in the future. |
This was the most inspiring basketball this team has played since I've been here. This is a win for us. |
Tonight was clearly a mental game. They happened to fall for us in the first half, but we came up short in the second. BYU was able to elevate their game. |
Utah played a great game, and I think we had a lot to do with that. |
Utah played a pretty nice game, but I think we had a lot to do with that defensively. We definitely played a part in our own undoing. We're close to where we need to be offensively to compete with the top teams in the league but, glaringly, our defense is struggling. |
We felt pretty good going into the half only down by three. But in the first five minutes of the second half we got overpowered and manhandled. And our turnovers turned out to be our demise. |
We gave up 21 turnovers and 20 offensive rebounds. You have to be almost perfect everywhere else when you do that and we weren't. They just outworked us. |
We have learned something new with each game. This team is still one huge experiment. We're ready for the opportunities we have coming up. |
We have seen glimpses of being able to compete with anyone in our conference. We just need to hang on for longer stretches, to sustain our good play. We need to keep making the plays were making when we are hot. |
We have several opportunities that we have yet to take advantage of and with some home games in the near future, we have to take care of business. We've recently played two teams in the Top 25 and it was a challenge, but now we're ready for the future. |
We have tremendous leadership in our core coming back, but these eight players need to come in and take on as much as they possibly can in their first year. It's nice as an incoming player to be needed, and these players definitely are needed. |
We knew Molly was a bit of a risk when she came here because she had kind of lost her love of the game. I love Molly as a person and just want what's best for her. She leaves with nothing but best wishes from me and her teammates. |
We played three really good halves of basketball here. These two games were probably our best games of the year. |
