half missed offense picked second stops
We were more relaxed. In the first half we missed 10 lay-ups and that's 20 points. In the second half our offense picked up and we made more stops on defense, but it was too little, too late.
attacking balance couple days execution good last running taking talking
We've been talking the last couple of days about attacking, and we've been running a lot of execution (drills) in practice. Tonight, we had a good balance of attacking and taking the right shot.
defense needed row runs stops
I think for the most part, the times they made runs were able to get back on defense and make some stops. But we didn't make as many stops in a row as we wanted to and needed to.
amount freshman great
She is a great player. She's only a freshman and has an outstanding amount of talent. She is going to be great.
atmosphere fact fans
It's huge, the fact that we're at home. It's our rims, our fans and an atmosphere we're used to.
continue floor four life mostly special stuff taught
It's four years and it's a special group, special place and four years I'll never forget. I don't even know how to put it in words. (Marquette basketball) has taught me so much, mostly off the floor stuff that is, that I'm going to continue on my whole life with.
excuse excuses hardest teams top
It was the hardest part of our schedule. Granted, there are no excuses for the way we played, but they were all top teams in our conference.
attitude happened
It's happened so many times to us, I don't want to say we're used to (being down), but we don't quit. We're fighters. It's just the attitude we have. We're not going to back down.
cold missed rhythm
We were cold from the floor. We missed lay-ups and they started slipping away. We never got our rhythm back.
both defense execute knew offense
We both knew each other's offense and defense. It was more of who was going to execute more.
hard kept stay
We were in disbelief. It just kept spiraling down and it was hard to stay focused.
best coach decides goal happen help needs team whatever win
Whatever coach decides is best for the team, we'll go with it. I'll do whatever I can to get in there and help the team try to win. My goal is to win and whatever needs to happen happens.
