In the first half, we played embarrassing. |
It's a nice personal goal. It wasn't something I was aware that I was close to breaking. It's just something I've been doing since my freshman year. |
My ability in shot blocking and Debbie?s ability to take charges, I think it really made them think twice about coming into the paint. I think our guards did a good job of making sure their three-point shooters did get a lot of shots. |
Our focus in this game was to execute our offense and defense and to play our type of game. |
Our game plan is going to stay the same. We really don?t know what they?re going to do. We just have to make sure that we do what we have to do. |
Our outside game was really clicking, so they had to stretch the defense out and respect our 3-point shooting, and it opened it up in the middle for me. |
Road wins are hard to come by. You really have to go out and fight on the road. Making sure you take care of your business at home is a pretty big deal. |
Sometimes young teams are pretty dangerous because they just come out and play. We just have to execute our offense and defense so that we can get getter. |
We got good tournament experience. We treated this game like it was a tournament. We had one day of preparation and then had to come in and play a game. |
We have a height advantage so our guards were throwing the ball over the top and our post players were getting good position. |
We'll make sure to take care of our business. I think we're a lot better. We're more diverse and a lot more experienced. Just about everybody here went through that loss last year (in overtime to Minnesota in the semifinals). We're going in with a chip on our shoulders. |
When I got the ball, I turned in my shoulder and I didn't imagine a defender on me. I practice that shot every day. I just took my time and made it. |
With her, it's not about scoring. It's about running our team. That's her job and she does it well. |
You expect that they?re always going to come out tough. You can see the frustration on the faces of the players whenever they don?t do something right. We lost in the last second at their court last year, and when I think back on it, I can smile because it was a great game. The emotions run high. |
