Lindsey can stick the 3. If the 3-pointer is open, she's going to put it down. She's going to have a very good learning experience this year, but it's nice to have that other 3-point dimension. |
Megan has great hands, great footwork for a freshman. The other day in practice, she got out and ran the fast break, |
Megan maybe is putting too much pressure on herself in the starting position, because this is two games in a row that it's happened. She's picked up over-the-back calls, things she knows better (than to do). |
Ohio State did an excellent job defensively, excellent job on the boards. I really feel Debbie Merrill might be the 'X' factor for that team. ... She is very hard to guard. |
Ohio State has the nod on everybody else. They're tournament-savvy, having been there before. They have earned the No. 1 seed with their play. But our conference has been known to have people come in and dethrone the champion. Yes, it's wide open, but I would have to give my nod to Ohio State. |
Penn State did a great job defensively, which made it difficult for us to get into our offense. Their zone really hurt us. We need to learn to play better defense and box out. |
Right now, I have my favorite 10 sophomores and favorite 10 freshmen in America in a list. I never used to do that. |
She has been a great addition to our basketball team. We were thrilled when we were able to sign Kristi Smith. We watched her play for a long time and we had our eye on her a long time. We felt she was going to be a tremendous player. So we were thrilled when we were able so secure her as an Iowa Hawkeye. We kind of felt like we stole her. |
She is a scoring point guard. She is almost, not quite, as fast as [Iowa guard] Crystal Smith. It's fun to have that dimension out on the floor. |
She is going to be a very, very good basketball player. |
She's a phenomenal athlete and this year we're going to have the luxury of being able to keep her at the off-guard position. |
She's thinking about it way too much. It's nice to be able to win games without her, and it really forces people into a situation where they have to bring their game up another level. I think that's the good part, because when we get Crystal back, maybe we'll even be a better basketball team because of it. |
She's thinking about it way too much. She's definitely struggling shooting. It's nice to win games without her. It forces people to bring their game up another level. That's a good thing, because when we get Crystal back, we'll be a better team because of it. |
She's tremendous. But she has been fabulous since she set foot on the floor here. Even as a freshman, she was never a true freshman. She has given every ounce of energy she has had and been a lot of fun to watch. |
That (12) years is a lot of precedent. |
