We had the game and we felt we had control. I guess with every loss some good comes out of it but we can't walk away feeling good about the way we played.

It was a lot different this year not having the automatic bid. We'll bring a whole new attitude and level of energy to the tournament. This is when we should be playing our best.

I've been expecting it. I knew she could do it.

I've never experienced back-to-back losses in college. It's difficult to handle a loss in general and this is harder.
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 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.

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.
hard hits strong
Getting jumped on, it hits you pretty hard. We wanted to come out strong and get into their heads.
