Jill just needs to catch and shoot. |
Kristen has a lot of friends, and she has a lot of people that want to do things for her, because she's always doing things for a lot of people. She's very giving and very considerate. We have relied on Kristen so much from the day that she got here. To be our primary low block presence and defender, she's never disappointed. |
Last season was our most experienced team. It's hard to quantify (how much talent was lost), but we did lose a lot. |
Lisa Willis hit some tough shots and took over a little bit. I knew the more aggressive team was going to win, and I'm disappointed it wasn't us. We'll use it as fuel for the fire. |
Not many people are drafted. It's a draft -- it doesn't determine the final roster. |
Obviously, we got off to a slow start. I asked a couple of my players if they wanted to go home. |
Obviously, we're having our road woes, so to get a win on the road was huge for us. We know what lies ahead of us now [after playing every Pac-10 team] and we've got our momentum back. |
Offensively, we are working too much individually. We've gotten away from working together in our motion offense and executing our two-man game. |
Oregon has a lot more depth. It's been our trend to save our best game for last on the road. |
Our goal is to sustain our status as one of the best programs. We have basically arrived as one of the best teams in the nation. To sustain that status, the coaches and players need to continue working hard. But the other component is the fan base and media coverage. That goes hand in hand. |
Reagan is really growing as a leader. I'm really proud of her. |
She's a tough kid -- physically, mentally and emotionally tough. We haven't even had her that long, but her toughness is something she came here with. |
She's hit game-winning free throws for us all year. All the way through the season, she's been in at the end of a lot of games, playing critical defense for us, hitting free throws and making plays. She's an amazing talent. |
She's just been amazing, the way she takes a charge in just about every single game. She's just a playmaker and we knew that when we signed her. |
She's really been able to come in and provide a huge spark for us defensively and really ignite our transition offense. |
