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.
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.
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.
cuts definitely hard motion plays running time
I like triangle, but we have a hard time even running set plays with this team, so motion is definitely the better option. Even if everyone doesn't find the right spot, they're always making cuts and moving. If they move, they score.
confident freshman hard moments time work
I feel confident every time I put her in there that she's going to work hard and won't back down from anyone. She has some freshman moments from time to time, but I really don't feel like there's any drop-off when I put her in the game.
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.
beat bit conference expect people says
That's awesome. It says a lot about our conference when people expect us to beat each other up a little bit and don't penalize us for it.
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.
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.
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.
