That's the best point guard in America right there. |
Their defense was outstanding. It looked like they had six or seven people on the floor. We couldn't get the ball inside. |
Their size is going to present match-up problems for us. They're hard to guard because they're big at every position It's going to be a challenge for us. |
There are a lot of familiar teams. |
They are so much bigger than we are at every position, and Ann Strother has always played well against us. |
They just had too many weapons for us. |
They just have so many weapons. We tried to limit a couple of them. … I just think they have so many other players. They started to go inside more. Even though no one person really killed us, when you add up the rest of the numbers, I think they did a pretty good job. |
They're still a very, very fundamentally sound, great defensive team. They're very well coached. They run good offense. They do a lot of good things. I think it's the same team they've had over the years, just great competitors and very, very intense. |
They're such a balanced team and both their starters and their bench are capable of having big games at any time. |
This year she's had to do it all. She's had to be the leading scorer. She's had to be the leader. She's had to be the one whose out there all the time. |
To have (had) a 7-9 record (in the Big East) is really unacceptable for this program. To get back to .500 was really important for our NCAA Tournament hopes. |
Two of their players, Angela Clark and Danielle Chambers, are averaging better than 10 rebounds per game. |
We can't go around saying we're happy because we only lost by 11. We have a lot of things to work on, but this should give us some confidence going into the Big East. |
We couldn't guard her in the zone, then we put her in the box-and-one and I think it changed the momentum. |
We elevated our recruiting and the perception of our team nationally changed. We had some really good teams before that, but we never got anywhere in the NCAA tournament because we never got any good seeds. |
