coming focused four giving knowing
That's just something we've been focused on doing, coming out, giving it our all. Just knowing that it's the end of four years, we want to make the most of every situation.

That's great. She is probably so happy. She's a homebody and close to her family.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
against four played
There are only four of us that have played against them.
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.
