eight execute game last minutes obviously three
We didn't execute three times in a row. We didn't execute the last eight minutes of the game either. Obviously that was the difference.
best capable challenged start taking
We just weren't getting after it. (Oregon State's Mandy Close) is their best three-point shooter. You don't give her a three-pointer. We weren't taking things away. I just challenged them to start doing the things that they're capable of doing, and they did.
choice error good knew margin saw seen team
This team is making me look good right now. We had no choice. We had no margin of error and, honestly, because we had seen everybody. We saw what they had, and we saw what we had, and we knew we were the better team.
control teams
We can only control what we do, not what other teams do.
chance game home hurt perfect
We don't really look at the records. We just go out one game at a time. It's always a chance that being perfect at home could hurt us, but we don't let it get to us.
aggression both felt good goofy knew lost push
We got tentative, we lost our aggressiveness at both ends. We made some goofy turnovers. We knew they would make a push with Wiggins and Smith, but I felt good about our chances.
controlled number
We controlled the boards, therefore, we controlled the game. That was our number one goal.
challenged team year
We've been challenged all year long by our opponents. We're the team that they want to beat, which could make their season.
amount either time
With that amount of time off, you can either get better or things can go the other way.
again everybody everywhere massive shots target throwing
We had this massive target on our back. Everybody was throwing in shots from everywhere that they'll never make again in their lives.
best certainly doubts far hump teams
We are certainly over the hump as far as having doubts that we are one of the best teams in the country.
good job offense pressured taking took
We did a good job of taking some things away. We took them out of their offense and pressured them. I thought we really started strong.
handle hard worked
We've worked hard to get here. Now we have to see if we can handle it.
hold points problem score team
I don't know why we couldn't hold any team under 60 points a game. Now the problem is, can we score 61 points?
