At this point, we're taking it as a one-game season. Right now, that one game is Minnesota. |
Down the stretch, in the last six minutes, we had some great looks. We just couldn't hit open shots when we needed to and it was tough to come back. |
Her knee and the referee are getting to her. She's got to get beyond that. She's tough. She will. |
I think anytime you have one of your key starters out it's going to be tough for you. In the first half we didn't handle the pressure (11 turnovers) well and they absolutely smashed us on the boards. |
I think it was out ability to withstand it by coming up with big rebounds. We made some good decisions at the end and critically some big free throws down the stretch too. |

It wasn't pretty but it was a 'W,' ... Minnesota outplayed us in the first half, there's no question our perimeter defense was really poor. |
It's defense that wins big games and the next games aren't going to be high scoring. They're going to be battles, ... If you can hold teams down in that scoring range, you're going to be in a good situation. |
Lauren is the MVP. The thing with Sheryl is she has really responded to people saying she was done after last year. She's come back and had a great season, but Lauren gives you more at both ends. |

Our aim was to try to keep our head above water. Unfortunately, our head was under water. But we went blue in the face, we came up for air and we're going OK now. We've learned to swim. |
Right now our season's about one game and that's Minnesota, |
