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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
funny tradition tree
The tradition with the tree ... to me, it's funny.
expecting knew
I've been expecting it. I knew she could do it.
college difficult general handle losses
I've never experienced back-to-back losses in college. It's difficult to handle a loss in general and this is harder.
