We just have to pull some kids out of the places they're in. Some kids aren't as confident as they need to be. We have to build their confidence and remind them they're still a good basketball team. They've got to believe it and play like it. |
We just wanted to show 12,000 people what we were all about. That's hard work and second effort and just a lot of energy out there. |
We might have to shorten our bench. Some players have been more consistent lately. |
We need consistent play from our post players off the bench to make us a deeper team. |
We started slowly but played better midway through the first half and were able to control the tempo of the game. It's always good to get that first win in conference play. |
We wish Lauren and Brittney the best of luck in their future endeavors. |
We're approaching this week, these two games this week, as they are not any more important than the games last week or the games in the future. |
We're preparing for this as if it was a Big Ten game. Our players have been pretty good about not overlooking anybody on our schedule. |
We've faced worse adversity before. We'll get through this as well. |
We've talked about it to the players. The guards will have to run the team in some situations. The kids will have to call plays. |
What I learned about this team, and what we all learned about this team, is we're not as good as we need to be right now. |
When Jamie is playing up to her capabilities, she can be one of the best players in the country. We had other players on our team giving us the effort we needed. |
When we're on the road against a top-10 team, teams are going to go on runs and you've got to be able to sustain the runs and we did not in the second half. |
When you have her at those numbers ... you think you'd win a basketball game. |
You got to go with what has been working and I think right now, if you figure out the percentages, we were getting 50 percent of our production from our bench and 50 percent from our starters. |
