against bit care early easier execute shoot trying zone
We didn't take care of the ball, and we didn't execute against the zone and there was a lid on the basket. I thought early on we were dribbling right into them and trying to shoot over them, and that makes it a little bit easier to block.
empty limits seat
I think everyone will still be there, I don't think there'll be an empty seat to be found. It just limits that we can't go out on that Friday.
either played ranked stepped sync teams time top year
I thought that Connecticut stepped up and played like one of the top 10 teams in the country, and I know they've been ranked there all year long. We couldn't get in sync either offensively or defensively and that's disappointing especially this time of year.
best days hate number obviously playing stands watch
We hate it because they're playing and we can't be there. Obviously we want to be in the stands and watch the best of the best right now. We'll still be there. They're just shortening the number of days we can come out.
aggressive attack defensive needed wake
We needed to be more aggressive on the defensive end and then we needed to attack offensively. We needed to be the aggressors, not Wake Forest. ? That was key.
chemistry team
Everybody's really new too; it's not like there's a lot of team chemistry there.
couple
That's probably my fault, I probably should have called a couple timeouts and crawled up on 'em a little more.
dominance key nice rewarded season successful thus
It's nice to see her rewarded for dominance on the boards. She has been a big key to our successful season thus far.
defense difference intensity mark order pick second talked until
We talked about having to pick up our intensity on defense in order to make a difference in that game. I don?t think we really did that until the 14-minute mark in that second half, and when we did, that?s when we were able to go on a big run.
falling shots situation
We were flat, we didn't play well. We got into a situation where shots weren't falling for us, and we got frustrated.
hold nerves nice slow start sure though tonight
Tonight I had to prod (the team) a little bit. I?m sure nerves play into that, but it?s nice to see us ? even though we had a slow start ? hold them to 51 points.
aggressive defensive key stretch
Down the stretch I thought we were aggressive on offense, but the key for us was defensive rebounding.
focused fun game group report scouting stay
They're a fun group to be around. You don't want to put a damper on who they are as people. As long as they stay focused and they know the scouting report and they know the game plan, then we'll let them be them.
bit
They're still huge. They're big, strong, athletic. They can make you be a little bit off.
