We wanted [the third game] bad. The weather tricked us. We thought it was going to pour and it didn't start until three. |
We wanted to play people and look at some different combinations. Out-of-the-conference games you get some opportunities to do some things that you might not normally have. |
We work very, very, very hard at staying in front of the ball and not fouling. We're a strong team and a very disciplined team defensively. |
We'll just have Petro at our podium and let him have the opportunity to say whatever he wants. We can't let a candidate have veto power over whether we have a program or not. |
We're going to have to be able to win a game that matters (without Davenport). We have won without her, and it means we can do it again. |
When a pitcher goes deep into the game it saves [the bullpen] for the next two games. |
When I first came in the league, I thought it was a 'welcome-to-the-league scheduling format,' where you open with the two teams who have dominated the league through the course of the last seven or eight years. Now I realize it's a tradition you have to live with. |

When we were in the zone, she got three great looks at the basket early. That gave her a tremendous amount of confidence. |
Winning it is great. We shared it with a pretty good team last year (Michigan State) and we had to go 14-2 to do that. We beat some really good teams this year, including arguably four of the best down the stretch. |
You have to make a decision. When you open the inside game, it creates opportunities for quality looks from the perimeter and penetration. It's all about the inside game establishing itself so you can add those other dimensions. |
You need to get a little lower in your post positioning. I think you need to work real hard at avoiding screens, instead of getting screened. You just have to prepare your players mentally to play through the physicality of the game. But we spend as much time in the weight room as everyone else. |
You're talking about a kid who, when we signed her, the response was that she wasn't good enough to play in the SEC. She likes challenges. |
