calm definitely gets step sure tournament
I think going into the tournament if it gets to that situation, that?s something that I would definitely look to try to do. Make sure everyone is calm and try to step up and get us out of that little drought.
came freshman freshmen opportunity situation
I think I was fortunate. I came into a situation as a freshman where I had the opportunity to play right away. And a lot of freshmen don't have that opportunity.
develop few good last letting maturity minutes tonight win wire work
I think this is a good win for us, but there's always something you can take from it. Obviously, tonight being up 19 and then letting them kind of come back and then having it down to the wire the last few minutes is something that we need to work on. And we need to develop some maturity if we want to be as good as we can be in the (NCAA) tournament.
crucial figure half past second time together
I think this is a crucial time. I don't think it's something that you can just look past to just get through it. I think right now is a time when we really need to come together and figure out who we are and what we need to be to go into the second half of the season.
attention detail focus pay sure
I don't know what it is. I think we have to really focus a lot more and everyone has to pay attention to detail and really kind of buckle down and make sure we do everything.
feeling guess
I guess I never really look at it that way. I'm not, in a game, feeling like I should or shouldn't shoot. If I become open, I'm going to shoot.
coming game senior tired whatever
I don't ever really feel like I get tired when I'm on the court. I just want to play and do whatever I can. As a senior you look at every game and you could see kind of an end coming and you want to be in there as much as you can and make the most of it.
definitely excited felt freshman mentally playing ran remember start wall
I don't know what was going on with me, but I definitely feel a lot better and I'm excited to start playing like that again. It's kind like freshman year. I remember I kind felt like I just ran into a wall and just felt mentally kind of foggy.
acted allowed amount certain earlier fame gotten hall nominated time
Obviously, there's a certain amount of time you have to put in before you're even allowed to be nominated for something like that. Realistically, I think that it's something he should have and could have gotten a lot earlier if the time restrictions hadn't been put in. I think he's always acted like a Hall of Fame coach.
earlier knew players saying talking
I was talking to Rebecca Lobo earlier and she was saying something about how she knew I wanted to play with some Connecticut players just because you know them and you know how they play.
confidence feed great playing role
She?s unbelievably important. I think everyone has their little role that they play and she?s got a pretty big role and she?s doing a great job. She?s playing with the most confidence that she could ever have and I think that?s something that we all feed off.
fun gym tough
She's a tough competitor, fun to be around. She's just a gym rat.
ask definitely feels frustrated games good handling hoping knee minutes practice stays
She?s definitely frustrated about not being able to play as many minutes in practice and in games as she would like to, but I think she?s handling it really well. As long as she just stays positive, like she is, and does as much as she can, that?s all we can ask for. Right now, we?re just going by how she feels day to day and hoping that her knee feels good for the end of the year.
against carolina earlier face georgia guards mistakes north played quick ready team time
She's more experienced. If you look back at some of the mistakes that she made earlier in the season, she's not making those kind of mistakes any more. Having played in the North Carolina game, having played in the Rutgers game, against a team like Georgia she's going to face some quick guards again and she's going to be ready this time I think.
