create defense defensive good great hard screens work
That was a great defensive effort, because Wyoming is a very good team. They set so many screens and work really hard to create good shots. For a while there, our defense was really, really good.
air beat extra games good rest rhythm team time unless whether worry
I can't say whether the rest is good for us unless we beat Air Force. I like to have the team in a rhythm with two games a week. With the extra time off, you worry about them being game-ready.
anybody background buy dream good gotten hard nobody stands visualize
If we had gotten her, we would have been good right away. I don't think she could visualize the same dream that I had. I just had nothing to sell. The only thing I had was my idea of success. It's hard to get anybody to buy in when you've got nobody in the stands and your background is that your RPI is 325 out of 330 teams.
count good help knew pleasant wants
She's someone I can count on to help us out when we're in trouble. She's aggressive, and she wants to play. She's been a pleasant surprise. I knew she could be good for us. I just didn't know she could be this good this quickly.
game good stepped
She had a good game and stepped up for us.
against basketball bounce game good mexico team
The good thing about being a basketball team is that you play a lot of games. We have a game against New Mexico State, and we have to bounce back.
close good low possible quickly
It's a very good idea to close in quickly because she (Young) is so good in the low post. She's a mismatch and she will score, but you want to do anything possible to frustrate her.
beat bigger good normally proved
Normally we just beat up on each other and no one has a real sense of how good we are. This year, we went out and proved we could beat some bigger schools.
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.
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.
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.
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.
best game seen
That was the best game I've ever seen her play.
