build coaching game people
To the players' credit, they didn't panic. That's not about coaching or game planning. It's about the people you have. We'll build off of this.
amazing amount behind kept played players plugging themselves
The players did it; they just willed themselves to some things. They played with an amazing amount of energy. We've come from behind a lot, and we just kept plugging away.
basket finishing job last position
We've got to get more out of them then we did last night. We've got to do a better job of finishing around the basket and getting in better position to score.
free lose talking throws win
We're not talking about free throws that could win or lose a game, we're talking about free throws that could end the season.
couple everybody happened left months ok
If we would have left close, everybody would have said that's OK after what happened to us a couple of months ago.
hard honestly minnesota
If we play as hard as we did at Minnesota and play really, really smart, I honestly think we could go 16-0. If we don't play hard and we don't play smart, we could be 0-16.
coaches dramatic effort good history iowa kids proud state team top win
This was as good of a team effort as we've had in a long time. I'm very proud of them. This is not going to go down in history as an earth-shaking, dramatic top 10 win for Iowa State women's basketball, but I don't think you can tell the kids that and I don't think you can tell the coaches that. It was special.

We won the game a bunch of times, we lost the game a bunch of times but we made some plays when we had to.

We're playing hard; we're scratching, we're fighting and I thought we defended really, really solid. Offensively we're really, really struggling right now.
defended playing
We're playing hard. I thought we rebounded and defended hard. But offensively, we're really struggling.
coming happy level
Overall, I'm happy where we're are. We all know that there's another level coming Wednesday.
I think that without question, it's a challenge. We have a lot of new faces,
beginning consistency depth games literally process talent wins
My thought process from the beginning has been, let's see if we can get enough wins to be in the postseason, and then go from there. We just don't have the consistency and the depth of talent to be able to say that these games are wins and these games are maybes. We've literally got to take it one game at a time.
coaches extremely mention
I was extremely disappointed Brittany Wilkins was not an all-conference player. And I will mention it to the coaches in our league.
