I think we're pretty resilient. And I think our kids are all fighters. We could have been down and out a number of times this year. But we have a lot of fight. Other than our game at Fresno State, we haven't been blown out all year. That's a tribute to the work and fight of this team. It's pretty good for a team that many thought wouldn't five games. |
I told the team there's no way they're going to shoot like that the whole game and to keep their poise. |
She'll work her tail off and she'll get better. She's had some hard knocks this year and had some pretty easy times, too. Hopefully, she'll grow from that. |
She's a two-guard. And to her credit, she only had (59) turnovers. That's pretty good for a freshman coming into the WAC and playing as many minutes (29 per game) as she does. |
She's deserving of it. She had a pretty good year. We're happy for her because any award is really a team award. |
She's had a really good season. It's really been a breakout season. She's battled injuries all season, but she's a pure shooter and she's made it a good year. |
The first time I saw her play I could tell she's a player to help build around. I knew even before the first exhibition that she could shoot by watching her shoot at practice. She's really got a textbook shot, and it makes things easier. |
There were a couple things that kept her from starting. Mostly it was injuries. It was that and trying to get a rotation down. Sometimes we have a lull where we can't score, and it's nice to get a scorer in there. She's really as starter. We've had to shorten her game a little bit to get her in there, but she's a very good player. |
They played behind Michelle, so we went to her. |
They turned it up a notch, and we just couldn't get there. Our kids played hard, but they're very talented. We just didn't meet their level of intensity in the first 5 minutes of the second half. |
We fatigued a little bit and didn't execute. Against a team like that, we've got to play perfect basketball. You have to make free throws and can't have any unforced errors. |
