bench came difference game last seem year
I think the big difference in the game - and it was something we lacked last year - is that our bench came through. It didn't seem like it was a day for starters.
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.
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.
good team
The good thing about this team is, we're a pretty even-keeled team. We never get too high. We never get too low.
defense game georgia great inside obviously played presence second slowly tremendous
Obviously we started slowly in the second half, it was disappointing, but their defense got after it. They're just a tremendous team. I thought we played a great game today. Obviously Georgia had too many weapons, they had such an inside presence with Humphrey.
confidence gotten playing point sixth
She's like a sixth starter. She's gotten to the point where she's playing with confidence.

She has the ability to score from anywhere. She has a great shooting touch and can score from inside, 3-pointers, or just put it on the floor and take it to the basket.
brings coming energy instant kid
She brings a lot of energy, which is one thing that you like from a kid coming off the bench. She's like a microwave. She makes things happen. She's instant offense, she's instant defense, she's instant rebounding, which is something that you need.
beat last team
Loyola was just the last team to beat us.
came defense happened job last offense tremendous
I thought we just did a tremendous job in the last 26 seconds. It came down to one play and our defense happened to be a little better than their offense on that play.
good minutes possibly
I think we had about as good a 15 minutes as you could possibly ever want.
anybody brought far game match strength tremendous
We don't have anybody to match up with Humphrey, as far as strength. She's just a tremendous player. This year, she's brought a three-point game with her that's just scary.
bunch people spend talking time
We don't spend a lot of time talking about the streak. We just have a bunch of people who aren't used to losing, and don't want to lose. That's the way they play.

Two years ago, we left on Wednesday to play a Saturday game, but it was out there. Here, they can sleep in their own bed a little longer.
