A boring, pathetic game like we played doesn't attract fans of any kind. |
Aisha has a tremendous spirit about her. Her attitude is the key. She loves competition. She's 60 percent of who she's capable of being because of her shoulder. Surgery is waiting for her. |
Al handles all of that for us. He gives me everything he has on Wisconsin-Milwaukee and then he begins looking at Kentucky and Chattanooga. All I worried about was Wisconsin-Milwaukee and he looked at the next two. |
All the teams are very, very good. You can't make too much of the seeds or anything else. You have to have a real alertness and readiness about what you're going to do. We're excited. |
I can't wait to see her when she can use two arms. It's been a challenge for her to play with the injury. I'm sure it is in the back of her mind that she could get hurt. But she's very talented and she's willing to work and learn from Liz. |
I can't wait. Believe me, I am so tired of speaking and giving clinics. I am quite anxious and happy that practice is going to begin and we can get busy being tough and establishing ourselves and our grit. |
I didn't care, yes, I called it regardless. I knew we had one or zero. But that wasn't the game. |
I don't think people (Purdue) will be unbeaten. I just think there are too many good teams and too many teams doing good things. I can't say when that will occur or I can't say how that will occur but I just think that the league is too good. ... It's a stronger conference this year, especially in the middle portion of it. |
I felt we had a good team defensive effort. It was a good game for us to really focus on rebounding. |
I had one timeout and should have called it. We were out of position. We should have all those kids in front of us. It definitely should have been an overtime game. |
I just don't buy that. I think it was lack of focus. |
I just think the key is to be focused on the things that matter the most, defense and rebounding, playing together and toughness. We're hoping to change the energy in which we play. Hopefully change a lot of things in regard to our play and our focus. |
I liked how we were matched up. We talked about it from a standpoint of being ready. |
I think that was so incredible of Lindsay to get her team off to that start. She was incredible in attacking and shooting -- just an All-American kind of thing to do to be attacking and to set the tempo for the game. I thought she was very impressive and Liz was really steady. |
I think the credit there goes to Rene Haynes a lot and Victoria and the guards. They did an excellent job of playing her correctly and staying focused. She's a great player and I think our team defense was solid. |
