I think our kids understand who Southwest Missouri is and what they're all about. |
I think the two best teams in the Big Ten are going to go at it tomorrow night. |
I think we lost sight here. The committee has done a great job in my mind. . . . Quit criticizing and complaining because there's a good time going on here. |
I think you have to give us credit for five turnovers and hitting more free throws than they shot. Those two really helped that area. |
I thought (Traore) and Katie weren't playing as hard and as aggressive on both ends of the floor as they needed to be. They kind of said, 'Yes, ma'am,' and got after it. |
I thought our depth eventually wore on them. |
I thought our kids showed a lot of perseverance down the stretch. There were a lot of little things people did that made a big difference. |
I thought our players responded when they needed too. Our defense is a large reason the score was what it was. |
I thought Wisdom-Hylton was special to be a sophomore in this league and to be able to defend Davenport (like she did). To be as aggressive as she was offensively, I thought we did do some good things inside. |
I told my team that my only focus was them and we'll talk about those kind of things at the end of the season. It's the typical spring. That's happened the past four springs. |
I told the team that we'd talk about that at the end of the season, but that my focus was on them. It's a typical spring, this has happened each of the last four seasons. But my only focus is to take them to the Sweet 16. |
I was really pleased with our presence on defense down the stretch. I thought we had a lot more energy and a lot more pop in our step. (Missouri State) is a great little team and came in playing freely, but once we got going I thought we were fine. |
I wouldn't want to handle the ball against her. She's just amazing ... She really creates a presence for us. It's funny how people react to that, with coming up and trying to screen her and kids wanting to get rid of the ball, having other people bringing the ball up the floor. It's really given us a different dimension. |
I'd much rather keep playing. It's always a concern to me. But we're doing the best that we can to control what we can control and I think that's the biggest thing. |
I'll say something in practice or something will happen, and she'll just smile at us and shake her head. She's just very respectful, very laid back, very thankful, very unassuming, very selfless and just very thankful for the opportunity. |
