believe felt game good playing switching
We felt that was the way we had to play them. That's how we got back in the game at Kansas, playing a switching man, and that made them believe this is a good way to play.
game loves wants
Everyone who loves the game wants to be doing something in March.
game lost mean number point won
At this point in the season, aesthetics doesn't mean a lot to me. We won the game a number of times and we lost the game a number of times.
game kept knocked verge
She kept us in the game for awhile. We were on the verge of getting knocked out.
difference feeling felt four games lose sorry
No one's upbeat; when you lose four games in a row, you shouldn't be upbeat. But there's a difference between what we felt and feeling sorry for yourself. There's still opportunities to play for.
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.
conference ending four game games heading lose next row starting year
It's a very big game for us; 16-11 is a lot better than 15-12. It's a combination of ending one year but starting the next one, and you don't want to lose four games in a row heading into the conference tournament.
bunch game lost plays won
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.
chance extra game needed plays team
They're a team that understands how to win. We needed to make one more play to get the game closer. We just didn't have enough of the extra plays that we have to make to have a chance to win.
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.
coached four game
I don't know if I've ever coached in a game with four turnovers.
challenged credit hard heather huge practice stepped
We challenged Heather pretty hard in practice the other day, and to her credit she stepped in and made some huge shots.
conference created deep money phenomenal teams upset
It would be a phenomenal upset for us to go real deep in this tournament. The conference tournaments were created to make money and give teams hope. The Big 12 can make the money, and we'll have the hope.
again extra honored hopefully kids love nice pick teams younger
It would be nice to go for our younger kids to get some extra practice, extra games. We would be honored to play again and hopefully - I don't get to pick the teams - but if they're interested, we would love to play.
