bogus excuse gave remember somewhere
I told him that I didn't want to come here and I gave him a bogus excuse. I don't remember what the excuse was. I know I told him that I wanted to go somewhere else. I think I said I wasn't happy.
backs barbara coach deep great knowing line looked noticed outside player threw
I noticed there was not one player outside the three-point line and their backs were turned. I looked at Coach and told Barbara to go deep and I threw it. It was great knowing that it was going to work.
depend everybody far good improved job month notice players saying stepping whoever
I'll just go as far as saying that we've improved a lot. And a month ago I would just say that it would depend on the night. If everybody was on the same page, yes. If not, no. But I think that right now we're doing a good job of stepping up. Whoever doesn't play well you don't notice it because there's other players that step up.
ability good hard offensive run stand wrong
If you run (the offense) right, there's so many things that we can get into. Even in the offensive breakdowns, we have the ability to read each other and know it's not good to stand around on offense. Even if you do go to the wrong spot, just do it as hard as you can and something good can come out of it.
mentally minute teams
You have to be mentally strong. Mentally tough. ... The minute you think about being tired, being sore, that's when teams take it to you.
lose next particular regular season team
We know that right now it's one and done. It's not like the regular season where (if) you lose to one particular team and just say, 'It's OK. We'll get them next time.' There is no next time.
deeds definite good lack
Ugly, it was. I think we let our good deeds get away from us and we weren't focused. There was a definite lack of concentration.
doctor energy player running tough unless
With Ann, she has so much energy running through her veins, you would never know she's hurt. That's the kind of player she is. Unless our doctor says, 'You can't play,' Ann will play. She's a tough kid.
struggle
When I do well, I don't think of me or I. Sometimes we'll struggle a little offensively, but I'll do what I can. We'll get it right.
hung joke kept lasted remember saying
I think the joke lasted about an hour. I remember that I hung up and called back. I hung up and I called back and kept saying some other stuff. I was just saying a lot, the first things that popped in my head.
bring cares case fine great ride sees stay stops trying
I think while I'm here, the day that he stops getting on my case is probably the day I have to quit. I know that every day in practice, he's going to ride me. He's going to stay on my case, but I'm fine with that because I know that he cares and he sees great things in me. He's only trying to bring it out of me.
improvement job standpoint trusting
I think we've made a lot of improvement. I think from the standpoint of just trusting each other, we're doing a better job of that.
confused plays run wrong
I wouldn't say I don't know them. It's just that sometimes I get confused when they run things. I know the plays. I just run the wrong plays at the wrong time.
absolutely darn excited last played remember time
I don?t remember the last time I played in a game, so I?m excited to see what (Thursday) brings. I?m not going to say there?s absolutely no pain, but I can play. Let?s just say, I feel pretty darn good.
