anyone darn defense good offense run tough
They're tough to defend. They run their offense as well as anyone in the conference. That was some pretty darn good defense - sometimes they didn't even get a shot.
beaten beating capable knew nice sure team tough
I knew Wyoming was a tough team capable of beating anybody. It just sure would have been nice if they hadn't of beaten us.
basketball deserving fact good ourselves separate stand teams
I like the fact that we separate ourselves from the men's (Sunday announcement). The teams are deserving of that. Women's basketball can stand on its own, and that's a good way to get started.
coach great hungry
They've got some talent, a great coach and they're hungry for a win. They've got nothing to lose.
ball care passes smarter sure taking
I'm not sure why we haven't been taking care of the ball as well at home. We have to make smarter passes and think about what we're doing at all times.
treatment
It swelled up pretty good. But we'll let her get treatment on it and see how it goes.
aggressive believed effort physical reason successful
They believed they were going to be successful and for some reason we didn't believe we were going to be successful. They had better effort and were much more physical and aggressive in the first half.
bunch games run work
They'll go right in there and run something completely different. But they're going to get over that. Now we have a whole bunch of games to work on that.
bad block higher hurt level quicker
They hurt us real bad on the boards. We could not block them out. They were quicker and jumped at a higher level than we did.
We've got a lot of depth. So we should be OK.
carrying disturbed game mental mentally saw tough
This was a tough game for us. I saw so many things I didn't like. They weren't carrying out some things and then the mental part of it I was really disturbed with. I thought we would be mentally prepared.
contact player
Dionne's kind of a tepid player who doesn't really go for that contact right away. But once you get her mad, she'll make you pay.
defending gave national quicker
They were just quicker at every position. And that gave us trouble. They were the better team. They showed why they are the defending national champions.
confident defending guessing national
They're the defending national champions, so I'm guessing they are probably a pretty confident group. I know that they play with a lot of intensity.
