consistent felt good harder looks needed ourselves rely shots work
Shots weren't falling. I felt like we had a lot of good looks and we couldn't get them to go down. It wasn't easy, and we made it harder on ourselves than we needed to. Defensively, we've been pretty consistent all year. It's something we could always rely on. Offensively, we have work to do.
best sure wants
She even makes sure we have panty hose on when we go to banquets. She just wants us to be our best and do our best and look our best all the time.
coming emotions game means ready time won
Monday's game means nothing if we hadn't won tonight. There were a lot of emotions coming out of the ceremony, but when it was time to play, everyone was ready to go.
days four games guess maybe playing row three
Maybe it was them playing four days in a row and us playing three games in a row; I don't know. I guess it was just one of those nights.
against four played
There are only four of us that have played against them.
teams
When you play teams like that, they are more desperate. They're going to play with a sense of urgency.
came players
We all came here because we wanted to be part of this program. It's about tradition, about the players who have been here.
came conscious effort feeling laid late leaders left mark meeting whatever
We all left that meeting kind of feeling renewed. He just kind of laid it all out on the line. I think the most important thing that came out of it is that it's not too late for us to really make our mark and to make the postseason go the way we want it to. And I think we've all just made a conscious effort of being better leaders and doing whatever we need to do for our teammates.
lull needed step time
We were experiencing a little lull at the time when they were going on a run. We needed to step up and make something happen.
against overcome road winning
Winning on the road is one of the most important things. You have to have things going against you and show that you can overcome it.
forget grown mistakes
It's really frustrating, even more so as a friend, because you want to see her have success. But to her credit, everything she's done, she's done on her own. She's really grown and been able to forget about mistakes and play without those inhibitions.
deal deserved difficult felt final slip
It's pretty difficult to deal with, especially to feel that you had it right there and let it slip away. I think all of us really felt like we deserved to be in there, the Final Four, and we wanted it. It just didn't happen.
atmosphere college fans support
Connecticut fans are the best, especially here in Bridgeport. When we were here two years ago, we had unbelievable fan support and it's just the most unbelievable atmosphere to play as a college athlete. The fans are great.
seem sick
You think you'd get sick of each other eventually. But it doesn't ever seem to get like that.
