adrenaline dizzy game nature sickness
I got a little dizzy before the game but by then it was too late. I think the competitive nature and the adrenaline outweighed any sickness or fatigue.
bad doubling late pass people second team
We make that same play all the time. I was just a second too late and the pass was there. People have been doubling on that all season. It is what it is. I feel like I let the team down, but you're going to get bad calls.
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.
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.
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.
found roles secure
We are making improvements every day, every practice. I think we've all found a rhythm. Our roles are secure now.
attitude automatic bring energy level playing year
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.
best defense inside last looking option quick rushed shoot shot sort
In the game, you are looking for the best shot possible. If I am the best option than I'll shoot it if Brooke (Smith) is the best option. I think we are really looking to go inside during the last time, but their defense sort of made us quick and rushed so we weren't able to get inside like we wanted to.
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.
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.
expecting knew
I've been expecting it. I knew she could do it.
