(Future players) know what I expect the moment I start recruiting them. I recruit women who I watch play and who I know can fit. |
Absolutely. Right now, we're 6 and 10 in the Pac-10 and this is a group of women who won one Pac-10 game last year. |
How do you defend Candice Wiggins? She does so many things with the ball. |
I sat beside Mandy at the Pac-10 Media Day (in November) and we left early because no one was asking us any questions. On the cab back to the airport we made a promise to each other that we wouldn't finish last. We took that to the rest of the team and that's been a tribute to them. |
I think that we were tired, there's no question about that. It took us a whole day to get here, and we played a game two days ago. And they haven't played since their conference tournament, so they are fresh. |
I think we did a great job of taking care of the ball, working the possession. |
I think we have a really good shot at playing. We finished with a 15-14 record and had wins over Cal and a very good USC team. And we won seven Pac-10 games. |
I think we lost our legs a little bit toward the end. |
I'm happy for Oregon State and the community, but we have a lot of work to do. We're nowhere near where we want to be. In my mind, we haven't accomplished anything yet. |
I'm really proud of my team. |
I've been on her the last few weeks to execute, and she got some help from the people around her and it was great to see. |
It was a great win for our program and I'm glad that we won it. But I think the main thing is overall it was a good game. It was two teams that were really battling. |
It was hard coming in here after just playing on Thursday. We played hard but we got a little tired in the second half. I'm happy with our effort, but not too happy with the outcome. |
Our fans did a great job. I was so excited to see more orange than green. We had a real home-court advantage. |
Players make plays and that was a big play. We really wanted to win this game tonight. |
