emphasized hard inability passing syndrome time
Right now, it's the old shoot-not-to-miss syndrome and passing up shots. We've emphasized that you don't pass up shots; if you miss, you miss. We've had a hard time scoring, but it's never been because of our inability to make a shot.
almost start time
It's almost March. It's time to start making them.
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.
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.
five herself literally talking time waited
In the time I've been here, I don't know if there's ever been a story like it. You're talking about someone who literally waited five years to play, five years to be a factor. She didn't give up on herself or her team.
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.
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.
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.
anyone found guard
There's no way to guard her. There isn't. If there is, I don't know anyone that's found it.
good minutes people
That would be the plan. Any minutes she could give would be good just to give people a rest.
