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.
aggressive fuel hit knew shots team took tough
Lisa Willis hit some tough shots and took over a little bit. I knew the more aggressive team was going to win, and I'm disappointed it wasn't us. We'll use it as fuel for the fire.
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?
control teams
We can only control what we do, not what other teams do.
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.
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.
ability awesome bench blend deep people stepped team veterans
That's the awesome blend of this team -- the veterans and the new players. We have the ability to sub deep into our bench and different people have stepped up on different days.
good hard proved realize sacrificed somebody team worked
Sometimes I just feel like this team doesn't realize how good they are. They've worked too hard and sacrificed too much to let somebody take what they've proved so far. It's so much about us. It really is.
arrived base basically best coaches component continue fan goal goes hand media players status sustain teams
Our goal is to sustain our status as one of the best programs. We have basically arrived as one of the best teams in the nation. To sustain that status, the coaches and players need to continue working hard. But the other component is the fan base and media coverage. That goes hand in hand.
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.
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.
chance exciting game huge regular season situation tie win
It was a huge game for us. Obviously, we have to win out to have any chance for regular season championship. It would be a really exciting situation if we don't at least tie it would be very exciting for us to get the No. 2 seed.
arizona continued game second
The second game isn't going to be anything like the first game; it never is. Arizona has continued to get better.
