A lot of the things you see today in the game of women's basketball are due to a large price earlier paid by people such as Sue Gunter. |
Every single trip down the floor, we're going to take a look at LaToya first and see if we can find her. |
I can't fault anything that happened with our kids. They have been warriors and have tried to fight through some things and keep themselves alive for a while. Hopefully, the committee will reward that, and they will get to play another day. |
I can't tell you how much I appreciated their fans' response today. We've had a lot of battles. It was a great day for me and one I'll never forget. |
I can't tell you how much respect I have for what Gary has done. He's done a great job of rebuilding and putting a lot of players in the program who fit his mold. |
I couldn't be prouder of them if they had won. It kind of epitomizes what they're about and, I hope, what this program is about. |
I didn't expect to be thinking it's done tonight, honestly. I thought we would get in. |
I didn't think we were tough enough in any spot. We weren't physical enough to get it to the rim and draw fouls. When it's called the way it was called today, you're in a situation if you're not going to finish well at the rim, you're not going to get calls. |
I have a lot of strong belief in those guys in that locker room. They've handled a lot of adversity this year, from a lot of different angles. I have all the faith in the world that they'll be ready to play Sunday afternoon in Austin. |
I knew the time was right for me. |
I think it's the best we played on the road in a while and I think we took our best shot. We probably didn't have enough left. |
I think, as you would expect, they're struggling just a little bit. There was some emotion from my side too. |
I told them during the timeout if we could take the lead, we could probably blow the roof off of this place. |
I was just heartbroken for our kids. Obviously, there has been a lot of things on the line for this team all year and a lot of disappointments and a lot of things they had to deal with. |
If they get open and they just throw up a hand, she can stick it to them. |
