Erika still hasn't reached her potential. She keeps improving and gaining confidence every day. Her defense keeps getting better and better, and it seems like every year she adds a new move offensively. She's just a junior, but I'm getting a lot of calls about her already. |
I think some of the North Dakota fans already had their reservations made out in Arkansas. They were 34-0. There was a crowd of nearly 3,000 people there, and we maybe had 30 of those. Everybody thought we were going to lose. Everybody but us. |
I wasn't surprised in the least she came back (after the injury). Sascha will go through 17 brick walls and come back. She will always be there for you and was one of the best point guards we ever had. |
I've seen tape of Shaw and they love to shoot the three. Their three guards shoot the three more than we shot them as a team. |
In the second half we played much better defense. We were able to get our transition game going. I thought that (UMD) played a great game, but we took advantage of them not having Dietz. |
It's really fun for them to say that they helped build this program. Both of them are just top-notch people on the court, off the court, in their majors in everything. |
It's so nice to be able to stay another day. |
Sascha organizes the guards and April organizes the posts for us. April is a very good defensive player. She'll get the toughest post in every game we play. |
She really has matured a lot. She's developed into a fine player. |
She's a competitor and she was disappointed. It's the same mentality all our athletes take. |
She's a shooter. It's been a great experience here for her to play with other scorers as well. |
She's one of the most underrated players in the league. Even when she wasn't scoring in the first half, she was the source of most their points. |
They had a lot to play for - if they were on the bubble - I thought they were in anyway. They just played really well. For us, the conference championship trophy would've been nice, or at least the chance to play for it. |
They have a very good basketball team. They gave us trouble defensively and offensively. But St. Cloud State has a pretty good basketball team, as well. |
They made it tough on Erika at times. But, she made it tough on herself, too. You think of all the pressure that's been on her. It affected her (Thursday). You saw a piece of a young lady who tried so hard and it didn't go her way. It was not one of her best nights. |
