Certainly, you don't want it to be one and done. We're in a position where we need to win three games. |
I do believe the NCAA will take three teams from our league and a potential bubble team. |
I think the leader for them is really Thorburn. She doesn't shoot it a lot, but she runs the team. |
I think we allowed Air Force to build some momentum in the second half. In order for us to be successful against a team like New Mexico, we have to play for 40 minutes and keep the level up. |
I thought Sherry established herself right away. And that's exactly what we wanted her to do. |
It would have been nice to take chance out of the equation. But I hope our two New Mexico wins will give us some consideration with the committee. |
New Mexico is an outstanding program. . . . For our program, it was a great win today because, as I said, they worked all year to get to the point that they're at. |
Obviously, it was pretty emotional for everyone. She didn't remember much. But when I walked into the hospital, she did remember my face. |
Programs have to rebuild. That's just the bottom line, and that's where we're at now. |
She could be like a little John Stockton or Steve Nash in our league. You need that one player who can help make other players better. |
Sherry has come on since her injury. The last couple of games she has started to play more like herself again. |
Smith is tough for a lot of people. She is outstanding offensively because she never stops moving, and she goes for every rebound. She is difficult to defend. |
That's what I hoped for. It was nice to see it, particularly on their court. |
We came close with this group a couple years ago. We're just happy to continue to play. |
We didn't play well enough to beat this team. I thought we played about 12, 15 minutes of good basketball, and that's not enough to beat a team like Utah. |
