best crazy happen life ncaa second tournament work
It's been a crazy week. You work your whole career, you work in life to get to the NCAA tournament and it's the second best thing to happen to you this week.
best break defensive face good knock mark offensive people score strength taking team
This is probably the best offensive rebounding team we'll face all year. The mark of a good team is taking the other team's strength away from them. When we defensive rebound, we score a lot of points. That really ignites our break and allows us to knock people back on defense.
best games hope secondary team tend
I said to the team all week, I hope it comes down to (Amanda) Pape and Walker. But most of these games don't come down to the best player. They tend to come down to a secondary player.
looked pick sick strong time win
Every time I looked at their stats, I got sick to my stomach. We had to pick our poison. They're a very, very strong team. They could win this tournament.
good job looked second shot sick third time
Every time I looked at their stats, I got sick to my stomach. I thought we did a good job on their first-shot percentage, but it was their second and third shot that was the difference.
happened plays simple talking
We happened to make the plays when it counted. It?s as simple as that. They could have made the plays and we?d be talking a different tune.
bigger broader folks
We're broader and bigger than a lot of folks think we are.
plays seventh shoot shot
That was huge. The kid's got guts. She can be 0-for-6 from 3, and she's going to shoot that seventh shot the way she shot that first shot. She plays with confidence.
hungry national weaknesses
Yeah, they're a national contender. I mean, there's not many weaknesses on there. They play like a hungry team.
If we go to Bridgeport, we're doing pretty good. That's the regional.
lifted nice second target time year
It's nice to have that target lifted off our back. This is only the second time all year we've been the underdog.
formidable post run strong
They can run or post you up. They're a very formidable team, out of a very strong conference.
across came west
We're in Williamston; we're in Okemos; we're in surrounding communities. As we came back west across town, it made sense.
understand
We understand what we are up against, but we will not play scared. We will play hard. We will play together. We will compete. We'll get our shots. We just have to make them.
