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.
five kid wait waited
Most of us won't wait five minutes. This kid waited five years to play.
explain kids row shots stand struggle weird
It's just been one of those weird things, and you really can't explain it. You see kids that can stand here (in practice) and make 20 shots in a row and then we struggle (in games).
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.
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.
giving guarded half hard hot kept kids
We guarded hard enough in the first half to be in the game. The kids sensed that Britt was hot and we kept giving her the ball. And we just kept guarding like crazy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
almost five played waited
Brit's waited five years. That's almost unheard-of for someone to do that. She's played like an all-conference player.
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.
