They started out slow statistically in the conference games. They've got good stuff ahead of them. It's nice to see them starting to get comfortable and enjoy this last stretch. They've been doing a good job for us.

Things always feel good when you hit shots.

Everybody, in the end, plays the same games. So really, until it's over, there's no comparing where people are at. We have kind of done well just playing from behind. So, I think we'll just keep thinking of it in those terms.

instead player stopping talking victory
She's pretty much had her way. You're always talking about containing, not stopping a player like that. It would be a victory to keep (Langhorne) from getting 20 instead of 30.

She's just a special kid. She came in with a great shot and an even better work ethic. She will do anything to help her team win.
