five starting team title
Their starting five are title contenders. On paper, they are the team to beat.
backup compete expect labeled looked maybe people rise team tech texas tremendous
Texas Tech had a very disappointing season, and Erin didn't have a lot of people around her. I think people looked at that team as underachieving and maybe labeled Erin the same way. But she had a tremendous pre-draft camp. When you put her with better players, she's able to rise to the occasion. I expect that she is really going to compete for that backup spot.
finds help team win
Sheryl finds a way to help her team win a game, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with scoring.
average below filling finds game help league team tonight win
I don't know how many of those (triple-doubles) we get in the league but that's special. She was below her (scoring) average tonight but she's filling up other columns. So Sheryl finds a way to help her team win a game and it doesn't necessarily have to do with scoring.
focused game huge played team
I think it is huge that this team played that way down the stretch. At the end of the game we have to be focused and be able to execute.
add compete field good marvelous obviously parker players september team veteran younger
Parker obviously had a marvelous tournament, and we got good contributions from the other ones as well. We're in good shape; you add our veteran players with our younger players, and we'll field a good team in September that will really compete hard.
carried percent
It was gutsy, very gutsy. You could see she was not 100 percent out there. She carried us in the first half. I didn't think she'd be able to rebound.
aware few focused rest
This is a very focused group. They're very aware of what a few days' rest will do for Lauren.
depend great looked
She looked great while she was out there. It's not really going to depend on how she looks.
came focused game half hurt lauren rely
We just had to rely so much on Lauren in the first half and she really came up big for us. You know she wasn't 100 percent, but sometimes when you're hurt you are focused only on the game itself.
floor happen home surprised
We just got steamrolled on our home floor and that doesn't happen very often. It surprised me that we could never get a grip.
changes defender flow lose offense takes
We lose Betty's points, her energy. She takes a defender away from Lauren. So it changes the flow of our offense for sure.
defense half happy holding points second shooting
Very happy about the defense tonight. Holding them to 19 points and 20-percent shooting in the first half was solid, and I was happy to see that we didn't let up in the second half.
offensive rebound talk three
Betty's three is what everyone will talk about, but (Burse's) offensive rebound was huge.
