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.
anybody came definitely energy hope lacking ready reason single situation team
That's the reason you come to Connecticut every single year. You hope to be in that situation so everyone that came here and everyone that's here right now definitely thought we'd be here. I don't think there's anybody on our team right now that's lacking confidence. We have a lot of momentum. We have a lot of energy and we're ready to play.
attack close coach deal fact force frustrated good heart pull teams win work
That?s the one thing that Coach is really kind of harping on right now and frustrated with more than anything, the fact that we do get up and then let teams come back in. Then we force him to have a heart attack before we pull it out. I think it?s good to see (that we were able to close the deal Sunday); it?s a good win for us, but that?s something that we still need to work on.
couple crunch last past playing realizing regular senior step time
I think we?re all realizing that it?s the culmination of our last regular season. This is the time where every senior in the past had to step up and make things happen; (Will?s) been playing like crunch time for the past couple games.
anybody definitely good prove ready
I think we definitely have some things that we need to prove to ourselves, not to anybody else. That's obvious. Right now I feel like everyone's in a really good place and ready to go into postseason play.
hoping maybe
I think we were still hoping for something to have happened, something to maybe give us another chance.
coming feed finally happens hope tried
I think when something like that happens you just kind of have to play through other people. You kind of feed off of them and just hope to get back and find yourself somehow. So that's what I tried to do and finally I feel like I'm kind of coming back.
barbara chip coach continue crucial definitely either great happened momentum needed point seen side wide
I think it was just a crucial play that we needed at a big point in the game. Either they were going to get the momentum back on their side and continue to kind of chip away at us and you could've seen something that happened the other night. It definitely was a big play. Coach called it up and Barbara set a great screen. I was wide open.
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.
adds
We put it all on the line. We didn't need him to tell us what we had to do, but sometimes it adds a little boost.
adversity biggest count momentum push
We have some momentum on our side, definitely. I think the biggest thing is that we know we can kind of push through some things and come through a lot of adversity and count on each other. So I think that's something that's really important going into the tournament.
