They had nobody to stop her. She had energy, and she picked up everybody's misses. |
They've had a great program for years, and they're going to be a worthy opponent. |
This hurts because it's been such a great bunch of girls to work with. The bottom line was, we did too many dumb things at dumb times, and it cost us. |
We had to put some pressure on them and turn it into a basketball game again. Once we did that, we got some things accomplished. |
We made a statement tonight. There's not a lot I can complain about. We played awfully well. If we play like this, or anywhere close to this in the next two games, I think we're going to be in good shape. |
We played with a lot more intensity in the second half. I had some things to say to some of them, and I think maybe I made them mad. Sometimes they play better when they're mad. |
We were ready to play, even though they were able to stay with us for a while. I was really proud of our players for that. We'd been here since Saturday, and we were all getting tired of sitting around. Time seemed to be standing still. But at game time, we were ready. |
We're going to take a couple of days off, then we'll get to work getting ready for Kansas. There's still some work to do, and there's still plenty of room to get better. The way we played tonight wasn't good enough to get it done, but we won and we're going. That's all that mattered. |
We've got bigger fish to fry right now. |
