good neither sure
I'm sure they're not going to be in a real good mood, and neither will we. We're having our problems, and they're having problems.
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.
calling coach defense good helps kids offense plays
Coach (Jack) Easley scouted this game, and our kids were calling the plays just like (Nebraska) were. We were energized and when you play good defense it helps your offense and when you play good offense it helps your defense.
coached good great seen
She's a great player, as good as I've ever seen and coached against.
chuck fighting good points proud road team time
You don't feel good when you lose, and if you do, there's something wrong. At the same time, you've got to be realistic, and for our team to be down 19 points on the road and all the things that we were fighting through, I was proud that we just didn't say, 'It's time to chuck it in.' We did everything but that.
doubt good head mind positively son
I don't know if I can make it that long. Will my son be a good head coach? Absolutely, positively there is no doubt in my mind that he will be a good coach.
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.
good minutes people
That would be the plan. Any minutes she could give would be good just to give people a rest.
career conference dealing decent heading odd people seen vague
In my career in this league, I've never seen it this vague heading into the conference season. We've all had some decent wins, and we've all had some odd losses, and some people have had some injuries. We're all dealing with issues.
bit kids looking time tough
It's always tough to lose, but at the same time I think our kids showed a little bit of something we were looking for. (They showed) a competitive spirit.
amazing amount critical guarded huge last players shots themselves
The last 7 or 8 minutes, the players willed themselves to play with an amazing amount of energy. We made some huge shots and we guarded them at some critical times.
chance guard iowa kids last played point says state supposed teams win
The last 18 minutes, our kids played the way that Iowa State teams are supposed to play. When you're on the road, down 19 points, your point guard isn't playing, and you have a chance to win it at the end -- that says a lot about your players.
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.
leader
You can't be the leader just when you want to be the leader. You have to be the leader all the time.
