defended half played second
I thought the second half we played harder. We executed a little better and we defended a little better.
highly risk rush unlikely
I think it's highly unlikely she'll play. We don't want to rush her back and risk aggravating the injury.
air beat carried dig experience great happy hole hung road team tougher win
We have to be a tougher road team to win this conference. I'm really happy we hung in and beat Air Force. That was a great game, and our experience really carried us to a win, but we have to find a way not to dig a hole for ourselves.
effort full
We have to be able to play the full game. We have to get over being a one-half team. I was really disappointed with our effort at halftime.
fully held injury last recovered restricted
I don't think she was fully recovered last year. She was very tentative, and that restricted her play more than anything else. The injury really held her back and didn't let her play her game.
early sure
We have to make sure that we don't get intimidated early on because they like to play really physical.
against basketball best energy focus loss playing regular toward
We have to let this loss go and focus on playing our best basketball to end the regular season. I want all their energy channeled toward playing their best against BYU on Saturday. It's the least we can do for all seniors.
excellent last night replicate
We have had some inconsistency. But I do feel this is an excellent team. When they're good, they're very, very good. Last night I thought they were very, very good, and I think they can replicate that.
execute fought hard
We just didn't execute on offense. We had an opportunity, and we fought really hard for that opportunity, but we didn't do enough.
knew nobody states top united
We had one of the top recruits in the United States and nobody even knew she was here.
calm difficult errors hyper julie loves tendency trying
Julie just loves basketball, and I'm trying to get her to calm her down. She has a tendency to get a little hyper and when she does that she makes some errors in her decisions. When she's relaxed, she's difficult to defend.
add anytime depth gives glad
I'm so glad to have her back. She gives us a lot of energy. Anytime you add depth to the team, it's an advantage.
ball shoot shooting showing team
We've got to shoot the ball better. We're a better shooting team than we're showing right now. We're being impatient.
best game seen
That was the best game I've ever seen her play.
