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.
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.
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.
felt happen knowing needed position steady trying wanting
Being in that position knowing that something needed to happen and wanting to really take over and be that person who made something happen was important. I think that is just something I felt like I needed to do before. I am trying to be that kind of steady person we need to have going into the (NCAA) tournament.
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.
feelings frustrated hardest head needed personally replay represent slip
The most overwhelming feelings I have right now are being frustrated and angry. You replay things in your head that you let slip away and it makes you so mad. The hardest feeling for me personally is feeling that I didn't do what I needed to do to represent the program.
coach good meeting needed point responsibility season
The meeting was significant. We were at a point in the season where we wanted the responsibility and needed to let coach know that, good or bad, we're making it our responsibility.
teams
When you play teams like that, they are more desperate. They're going to play with a sense of urgency.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
