awareness bit enthusiasm excited game good last loudest maybe since time
I'm excited about the enthusiasm and awareness for our program. This is a good time for us. There's a little bit of a buzz. That was the loudest it's been since maybe the K-State game last year.
bit crowd energy excited good great helped history kids minutes share true twenty
It sounded a little bit too good to be true about twenty minutes ago, but great energy from the crowd helped our kids come back. I'm just excited to be a part of history here and try to share it with these kids.
both crystal deserving earn effort extremely great hard honorable key mention named pay pleased proud respect season seniors understood work
I'm extremely pleased for Crystal and Erica because both are very deserving of those awards. When Crystal was named preseason honorable mention I said that I thought she understood how hard she would have to work to earn that same respect at the end of the season and it's great to see her effort pay off. Those two seniors have been the key to our season and both should be very proud of what they've been able to accomplish.
few good kids maybe rushed sluggish
(It) was more of a sluggish start. I didn't think the kids were nervous. I thought they were loose, but in a good way.... I thought maybe we rushed a few things early.

It's impossible to beat a team of that quality if you don't pressure and create some opportunities for yourself in transition. We just dug ourselves a hole.

They were a difference-maker. Down the stretch when we're trying to come back from behind, I think it gives us energy. I don't think it affects La Salle, I think it is just positive energy for us.

They've struggled. They have a couple of kids who are pretty athletic, but they're young and rebuilding.

We will start with the same team that we started with last year and know that we have a chance to play them at home this year. They've got speed, size and athleticism, and we've got some time to get ready and prepare and we'll need that.

This was a chance to redeem ourselves. I thought this game couldn't have come at a better time.

Erica knows we all know she can knock that shot down.
taylor
This is not a knee-jerk thing. We've just go to get better. Ivana and Taylor will be the first ones off the bench.

Should they have goals of the sweet 16 and elite eight and final four? Sure. I would think so.

She's a confident kid, and she knows that we all think she can knock that down.

She kicked her foot at it, and we don't get the call. That was a big possession for us.
