defended watch
We did watch (the tapes) to see how they defended us and what we did that was successful.
basketball full minutes played sound
We played a full 40 minutes of sound basketball.
days finish forward fresh instead looking players ready regular season teams
Our players are looking forward to a fresh start. We didn't finish the regular season the way we would have liked, but after 10 days off we're ready to play other teams instead of ourselves.
conference played talk
They're in the same conference and they've played here. Will that be an advantage? Probably. But we didn't really talk about that to the players. We don't want to give them an out. Those are things we can't do anything about.
games great
That's why she's a great player. She comes in at the end of games and does what's necessary.
held points score
I thought that if we held them to 57 points that we would have been able to score a little more.
few lets tweak
I said, 'Lets be patient, lets tweak a few things,' and I think we did and that's why we've been successful.

Our guys in practice can't even duplicate what they do because they're athletic, they're quicker. You see an opening, it's there, and you've got to thread the needle because they do a really good job of covering a lot of ground.
execution five heard lost worked
That's all we heard is we lost five in a row. All we worked on was our execution on defense.
execute game
In these games, it's not about being an underdog. It comes down to one game and who's going to execute their game plan.
feeling might
I just had a feeling they might do that to make it more exciting.
against east feeling
I had a feeling (the NCAA) would put us against a Big East team.
extremely players pleased putting team
I'm extremely pleased with the victory. I think it showed the kind of team we are. We don't have just one or two players putting up points.
smarter win
I know they feel they can play with those teams, and I think they really feel like they can win them. We just have to be smarter at the end.
