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.
cannot country great happy nation player post practice rather team
I cannot think of one post player in the country I'd rather have on my team than Brooke. I'm just really happy that the whole nation could see what we see in practice every day and what a great player she is.
advantage climbs confidence gives opportunity plays runs team tight
There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.
knew stops
We knew that we could score. It was really about getting the stops that we needed.
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.
control feeling felt game good guess loss walk
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.
along carried felt last lead ride seniors
We felt we were along for the ride last year. We had seniors who carried us. This year, it was us in the forefront, having to lead the team.
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.
lay medication move slept took trying
I couldn't move (Wednesday). I just lay there trying to get hydrated and stuff. I was kind of worried. I took a lot of medication and slept all day.
plays quickly respect
She quickly got over that. I respect her game, too. She plays really hard.
game losing next
Losing is painful. But when we lose, the next game we come out tougher.
texas
I think my first realization of that was at Texas Tech.
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.
