We have really played well since conference play started. It has been good for our psyche. Our team feels it is a capable team. More than confidence, we have some visual results to show for it. |
We played the way we needed to play to win a basketball game. You don't like to be in the position that you have to adjust your entire team, but we had to because of their tremendous height inside, and thank goodness we dropped the threes. |
We realize after the Tennessee game that we're not real effective defensively. You don't have a lot of time to work on it this time of year ... but it was a focus of our halftime to apply more pressure. |
We wanted to turn them over. We wanted to jump them early defensively. They're young and inexperienced. We thought we could turn them over and create offense and we were able to do that. |
We?d be afraid not to push the tempo. We haven?t slowed down. We have players whose abilities are such that they need to run. To slow them down would not be taking advantage of their abilities. |
We?re just excited to still be standing. We very much look forward to playing a very good Connecticut basketball team in the next round and have some sense of understanding about what?s involved in that task and what a challenge it?s going to be. |
We'd be afraid not to push tempo. We haven't slowed down. Again, we have players with abilities that are such that they need to (play fast). If I slowed them down, I wouldn't be taking advantage of their abilities. |
We're a basketball team that understands it limitations. We understand that we don't have all the cards to play that many of the other teams have. At the same time, we're a basketball team that has some very good cards to play. Shuffling those cards and dealing them in the right manner - playing with each other and playing with each others' strengths - has in fact become our team's strength. |
We're just not a consistently good defensive basketball team. |
We're just not very good defensively. I wish we played defense like Arkansas plays defense. |
We're right where we need to be. I'm not just saying that. Obviously, at any point in time you were watching practice, you would say, 'He's not happy.' When you look at the big picture, I couldn't ask more of them. |
We've never had this few players playing this many minutes for this long. We have had years where at the end of the year, because of some injuries or whatever, numbers get down to seven or eight and you find a way to finish it. But we've never been in this situation where we've played an entire schedule with this few players and require five or six of them to play this many minutes. |
We've practiced at 5:30 in the morning, so we'll be OK. |
When you're intense you're intense. It's hard to be intense in one area and not have it carry over and affect other areas. I think the more intense she's become about deflections and steals, the greater her intensity level has risen on everything, offense, running the floor, rebounding. |
You've never seen a team at Georgia play defense as poorly as we've done. We don't have the fouls to give. |
