easy hard heart
We're doing all the hard things but we're not doing all the easy things. We need to rebound, play with heart and intensity. We can't just be a 20-minute team.
country great nation player post practice
There is no other post player in the country I would want on my team. Now the whole nation will get to see what we see in practice and that's how great she is.
country nation player post practice rather team
There is no other post player in the country I'd rather have on my team than Brooke. Now the whole nation can see what we see in practice every day.
texas
I think my first realization of that was at Texas Tech.
knew missing open
We couldn't get more open shots, we were just missing them. I knew once we got rolling, it would be all right.
behind experience freshmen mistakes people playing second start time year
We are a young team. We start two freshmen and Brooke (Smith) and I are only in our second year of playing really. We're used to playing behind seniors. We do over think things at time and make mistakes that people with more experience wouldn't make.
bring future hard ncaa played tournament toward work
We played hard, but we didn't do the little things. I think we all know we can do better, and bring more and we need to work on that. The Pac-10 is important, but the NCAA tournament is our goal, our future and we are working toward that.
awhile fine natural shake took
I think it?s really natural to have nerves, and it took us awhile to shake them off. But we were fine once we did.
capable excited move
I think it's really important that we move on from (Saturday). We are even more excited about (tonight) and I think if we do what we are capable of doing, we'll be fine.
easier flow relax telling
It was her telling me to relax and just play in the flow of the game. I think that the more that you don't think about your shot, the easier it is.
boston forget good
It was a good reminder. I never want to feel like we did at Boston and Washington. We won't forget it.
adjusted awhile basketball beginning college knew point takes team
At the beginning of the year, having me at the '1' was better for our team, and now our team is better with me at the '2'. It takes awhile to get adjusted to college basketball and we all knew that if Ros could get secure, I wouldn't be (at point guard) all year.
courtney dominant hard high next school somebody stepped
Courtney was so dominant in high school and it's always hard to know how somebody is going to do at the next level, but she has really stepped it up.
far hurts wire
This one hurts a lot worse. This was right down to the wire -- one possession. As far as we've come, this is really emotional.
