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.
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.
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.
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.
deeds good
We kind of let our good deeds get away from us.
effort mistakes people players saying showing talent ups wish
You look at a lot of players who play on this level, and they don't have the talent like I do. There are a lot of people who wish they had it. To have it and not do anything with it is bad. I am not saying I am not going to make mistakes and have my ups and downs, but I am just showing the effort and the will to want to get better.
cannot challenge games honestly matter mind past personally playing though three tired within
Even though this was a big game, this was a challenge for me personally because just playing past games and just always getting tired within three minutes. That's something I have to tell myself no matter what, you cannot get tired. Honestly that's what I had in my mind all night. I didn't want to get tired and I think I did a better job.
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.
bring far few fit given good laugh lead positive
On the court, as far as the preseason workouts, they've given it everything they have. They're very positive and they all lead by example. When things get hard, they're right there with us. Off the court, they all have good personalities. They all bring something different. We have a few that we laugh at and a few that we laugh with. They fit right in with us.
advantage call hero open seeing spots taking
I wouldn't even call myself the hero the first half. It's just seeing the open spots and taking advantage of that.
national
She has two national championships under her belt. She has to be like that.
best champion contain difference handle help holding knows national offensive relieve size somebody understand until
She is a veteran. She is a national champion so she knows how to handle things like that. I do understand sometimes size makes a difference and we need to help her. For a long time, she is down there holding her own until somebody can get down there and relieve her in a sense. But if Barb is down there, she is going to do her best to contain the offensive player.
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.
