court defending great history last obviously practice step toward tradition work
Obviously that is what you want to do here, because Connecticut has a great tradition and a great history over the last 15 years. You are defending that every day when you step out on the practice court or step out there for a game. We all try to work toward getting it back and defending it. That is what we try to do.
everybody fill prepare prepared role step
It?s one of those things where you just have to prepare for anything. Everybody has to be prepared to step in and fill that role if she?s not able to play.
carried confidence hand hot knock looking second somebody step
(Strother) just had that confidence that she thought she was going to knock it in. (Sunday) she had that hot hand and it pretty much carried us in the second half. We've been looking for somebody that's going to step up and make those big shots. She did it (Sunday). And to her credit, that's why we won.
best character coach easily guts guys looking shows step taken
I think that shows a lot about us and a lot about our character because we easily could have just let this go just like we did the other night. But we didn't. The two 3s by Ann and Mel were the back-breakers and that's what Coach is looking for. He's looking for who's going to have the guts to step up and take those shots. And those two guys did it and that was the best thing that we could have taken out of this game.
definitely happened reminds step title trying
He always reminds us of things like that. It's something that's in the past, but it's something that is definitely in the back of our minds because it hadn't happened in 11 years. Obviously, you don't want to be a part of that kind of history. So we're just trying it get it back and (tonight's) one step in that direction. We need to go out and play like our title is on the line.
lost mostly played playing press run
We just lost our composure. I give them credit. They played hard, but mostly it was us playing too fast. We went on a run at the beginning, but then they started to press and we lost our minds.
crowd fast friday front ordinary surprised tonight turned
It was weird. I said Friday I'd be surprised if we didn't play well. But we didn't. We had a big crowd tonight and we wanted to play well in front of them. Everything was so fast and out of the ordinary that it turned out wrong.
lose time ugly year
It was an ugly win, but at this time of the year it doesn't really matter. It's about winning. You lose you go home.
ball broken took
It was a broken play. I just called for the ball and took the shot. That was that.
august coming early last late mid playing process season september since slow until year
I've been playing since early August and it was a slow process getting back in. It wasn't until mid to late September when I started to feel like myself again. I feel light-years better than I did last year coming into this season physically.
feeling game minds national run
There would be no better feeling than to be able to end this with a run at the national championship. I think it is in the back of our minds, and it is something that we are going to try to keep in our minds game in and game out.
last plays prior win
We didn't make plays prior to that for us to win the game, so that's what it all comes down to. It doesn't come down to the last play.
lived national power win
We lived up to our expectations for the most part. But we want to go out and let everyone know we did everything in our power to win a national championship.
ended feeling glad high possibly relationship season tension took
Everything you could possibly think of went on in that meeting. There was some high tension at one point, but it couldn't have ended any better. He pretty much put it out there for us to go out and do it. I'm glad that we took the chance. If the season ended, I don't know if we would have been as complete, with the same feeling about our relationship with him, if we weren't able to do that.
