good job recognize shot
It was a good shot. It's my job to recognize when the shot (clock) is down to 10; I have to make something happen.
great knowing since situation
It's going to be great. It's great just knowing that I'll be able to put her in a better situation than she has been in since she's been in Phoenix.
believe continue guys possession rough time
It was rough but we had to continue to believe. Every time I went into the huddle I told those guys just to focus, to believe and take it one possession at a time.
backed below clock confidence defender definitely giving job needed reaches room shock shot took
They weren't giving me any room and the defender kind of backed off, the shot clock was going down and we definitely needed it so I took it. I have confidence in myself. It is my job when that shock clock reaches below 10 to make something happen.
god looked year
It's all happened,' Pondexter looked back on her year of trial, 'the way God wanted it to happen.'
team thinking games
It's hard [arriving just before the game], but it's more mental than anything. I think I prepared myself as I was coming over mentally, to not think about being fatigued or anything, just to be ready to help the team.
dream knowing overwhelming
It's just overwhelming just knowing your dream is here in front of you.
advantage games great hall job knowing last post says side struggled team today
We struggled on the rebounding side the last two games and I think for us to have the advantage today knowing that Seton Hall is a great rebounding team says a lot. I think our post players, especially Michelle, did a great job on the boards.
definitely focused signs stops
We actually focused on getting stops and rebounding. And we definitely did that. There are signs of us peaking, and I think it will come at the right time.
definitely focused stops
We actually focused on getting stops and on rebounding. And we definitely did that.
body definitely point rest shut starts
It comes to a point where your body starts to shut down. The rest we're going to have is definitely going to be good.
box easier elevate game jump means might small
They elevate our game to another level. They're quicker, faster, they can jump higher. So that means you have to play smart. You might have to box them out so they can't jump over you. Or when you're elevating on your shot, you might have to elevate even more just because they can jump higher. The small things like that, they make the game easier for us.
game played team virginia west win won zone
There was no way I could win this game for us. They played a 2-3 zone and I can't do it by myself. It's a team game and West Virginia played as a team. We did not play as a team offensively or defensively. There was no way I could have won this game for us.
defense great hitting played
I think we rebounded and played great defense (during the run). Once we got away from that, they started getting comfortable, started hitting shots.
