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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
