great ready season
They'll be ready to come out. They have had a great season so far.
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.
ball coach days game points practice pushing running transition trying
That's something that Coach was harping on (during the break) at practice. We didn't have a game for like 11 days, but those days at practice, that's all we were doing, just running and pushing the ball in transition and trying to get more points off transition.
definitely games home matter playing somewhere time tournament
It's definitely different having to go somewhere for the first time, not being at home for the first two games. But that's kind of exciting, too. No matter where you play, no matter who you're playing against, it's tournament time and that's always fun.
capable coming emotions fun move season time
It's hard, because you're just coming off the season and having to move on. There's so many different emotions. I'm just going to do the most I can and do all the things I'm capable of, and at the same time have some fun with it.
ball careless good mature playing street throwing
It's being more mature and not kind of playing street ball or throwing it around or being careless with it. That's a good sign.
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.
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.
adds anytime force game post true
Brittany's really the only true post that we have on this team, someone that's just a big force inside. So anytime we get her in the game it kind of adds another dimension.
starts
You look at Barbara, Will, all of us, this is when Connecticut starts to play. When the tournaments come, this is when we always play our best.
needed time
There was a time where nothing was really going on and it was kind of stagnant. I think we needed to get something going if we were going to win. So this was the time.
within
It?s just an unbelievable experience. To come into it and have no idea where you?re going to go and find out within minutes, I think it?s really exciting. I can?t wait.
