A lot of people think of Renee only as a 3-point shooter, but she is so disruptive on the floor in terms of what she does defensively. She just has that sense for the game, and rebounding isn't always about height. I've never been one to say size is a big factor if you can get out there and get the job done. |
At the same time, I think we're more focused on ourselves than anyone else. We have a lot that we still need to put together as a team. |
Cal Poly weathered our storm from the beginning. They knew it was a long game, we were hot and they were going to get hot. |
Facts are facts. You can't keep turning the ball over. |
From what I understand, teams from the past wouldn't have battled back from 22 down. I'm encouraged by that, but it all goes back to consistency. |
I certainly think we have the capability of coming out and surprising some people. I know we have the fight. |
I don't think our girls have given up their competitive nature. They feel like they can win the next five games, and they feel that they're going to be a good representative in the Big West Conference Tournament. That's important right now. They haven't lost their spirit. |
I have a great vision of what can happen here. I have a lot of good ideas, and I just hope I get a chance to make it all happen. |
I'm very proud of the kids for not quitting. They're willing to fight, but we've got to make corrections in the areas that are hurting us. |
It would definitely help to get that monkey off our back. Subconsciously, it's there, and it's another stepping stone that we need to conquer. Lord knows we've battled a lot of stepping stones. |
It's still a matter of getting five people to play hard all the time. I think they're becoming more competitive. They're becoming less accepting of this, and that's important. |
Karen has a lot of athletic ability and can do a lot in the post position because of her height and mobility. Her versatility is definitely a plus in the kind of stuff I like to do. |
Sometimes it's important to have great players coming off the bench, too. |
The whole aura of tonight was very odd, the bench and players didn't seem excited whether we were up down or tied. It's a mental thing. They need to learn how to win again and that's the bottom line. |
There were definitely some ups and downs. But I thought it was positive that we regained our composure and made some free throws at the end. |
