areas glaring solid team
There are areas where I would like for us to be better or stronger. But we are a solid team with no glaring weaknesses.
extremely game good hard offense type work
It was the type of game we envisioned. They're very good defensively and make you work extremely hard on offense to get what you want.
bed guess home less reaction wish
I hadn't thought of that. I guess the only reaction I have to that is I wish it was one less (today), and he was at home in the bed with the flu.
definite deserves goal happy hard next opportunity played worked
I'm very happy for Alexis because it was a definite goal of hers. She's worked very hard and played well and deserves an opportunity at the next level.
final games motivation national ncaa process simple straight three win
The NCAA is a simple ordeal. Not easy, but simple. If you can win two straight games three times, you are the national champions. You want to get to the Final Four; you want to win the national championship. That is the motivation that is spoken, but the process is to win this game.
both dribble feared game good half hoped inside second settled
At times, it was the game we feared and, at times, it was the game we hoped for. They're very good inside and very good off the dribble and in the first half they got too much of both of those. But we settled down in the second half.
basketball closer final game margin played players year
I know the final score, the margin up there, was probably 16 or 18, but it was a closer basketball game than that. They played us very well at their place a year ago. They were young. They have those players back.
candidate entering entire felt highest level occur period played players problems process time
I have no problems with that. That is something that I've felt would occur over a period of time as more players who played at the highest level and went through the entire process (began entering the candidate pool).
against goes offensive players post
As post play goes offensively, it's been her against the world. Everybody's got two post players but us on the offensive end.
defend defended impressed
They defend very, very well. I was impressed with the way they defended us.
america averages four handled kid kids minutes team thirty wrong
Thirty minutes is not a big number, really. And I think another way to look at it is probably every team in America has got a kid or two that averages 30, 32, 34 minutes. If one kid can do it, there's nothing wrong with four kids doing it. Our kids have handled it very, very well.
basketball both changed depressed dreams fall fits focused found good happened mood personnel players pulled remaining resilient style team together
This has been a very resilient basketball team and a very focused basketball team. This is a basketball team that has really flinched. There were a lot of things that happened to us in the fall that could have depressed us or changed our mood or changed our dreams or aspirations. But that really hasn't occurred. Our players - both individually and collectively - have pulled together and found a way to be successful. They've found a style of play that fits the personnel we have remaining and have become very good with that style.
ability adjustment affected amount basketball changed credit hard itself kids numbers pick program staff time work
It's been an adjustment because we're a basketball program and a staff that prides itself on working hard. But these numbers have changed the amount of work that we do and the way in which we go about doing it. Now that said, it hasn't affected the way that we play. And I credit the kids for that. We still have the ability that when it's time to pick it up, we can go hard and we can go for the duration.
beginning deal great hard improved nature risk schemes since turn year
Connecticut has improved a great deal since the beginning of the year in that area. They've improved in a lot of areas, but their schemes are such offensively that they're not at a nature where you take a lot of risk with the basketball. So it's going to be hard to turn them over.
