gym shape shooting shots sure work
We'll make sure she's in shape for it. We're going to work on ball-handling drills, and we'll get her in the gym shooting as many shots as possible.
best bring everybody
We're not that much better than everybody if we don't bring our best game, especially on the road. And we didn't defensively.
behind crowd hands hopefully knocking last maybe people pull run upset year
They've been knocking off people by big scores. We know we have our hands full; but hopefully with our crowd behind us, we can give them a run like we did last year and maybe pull the upset of the tournament.

They're just excited. I think everyone works hard, but these kids work exceptionally hard.

They're more of a slashing team and I think we helped really well and got into the passing lanes.

Once we got it going in December ? the Idaho win was huge ? we thought we were good.
bench came difference game last seem year

good minutes possibly
I think we had about as good a 15 minutes as you could possibly ever want.
felt solid
Overall, at least offensively, it was a solid effort. For the most part, I felt confident.
biggest confidence deeper game gas last offensive playing ran result second seven team
I think our confidence is the result of how we've been playing. We're a much better offensive team this year. We're a much more diversified. But I think the biggest thing is, we're a lot deeper than we were last year. I think we kind of ran out of gas in the second game because we were playing seven people.
ball defense early heel interior year
Their Achilles' heel all year has been interior defense because they're pretty small. We got the ball in there early and often.
