based numbers ohio state
This won't be based on numbers like that. Ohio State is an outstanding team. We have to come out with a lot of intensity.
days definitely few finally past practice prepare sigh stuff
It's definitely a sigh of relief. Practice for the past few days has been getting out there, practicing, shooting, getting after it, and stuff like that. Now that we finally know who it is, we can prepare for it.
defend job sit sounds
It kind of sounds like it makes our job easier, but it doesn't. There's no way we can just sit there and not defend anybody.
capable guards help kicking players post
Their guards help make their post players better. The guards are very capable of penetrating and kicking it to the post players and scoring.
defense flow game open played shots understood
We kind of started that game like we hadn't played in a while. Once we got into the flow of things, we understood what their defense was doing and we understood where the open shots were.
contest great leave open wide
They all are still really great shooters, so we still have to be able to go in and still contest shots. We can't leave anything wide open and can't take anything for granted.
court defend guess home team time
I guess it is kind of a little break, but at the same time we have to come out and play basketball. We have to defend our home court and we can't take any team for granted.
focus
She's huge. Because she doesn't play (as much as other players), it allows her to focus on what we do on the court.
moment thinking time
She's here now. The big thing is the time is now and the moment is now and we're all here. We have to play for that. There's no sense in thinking about the future.
hear motivator tells time
She's kind of like our motivator for us. She tells us how it is. When we do hear her comments, we take them to heart. We realize, OK, it's time to play basketball.
against great inside shy
She's a great player, but you can't shy away from going inside against her.
defense help knew win
The defense is going to help win games. We knew what we had to do to get it done.
accent fine playing reason
I don't know if it was her accent or if she just didn't have anything to say. But if that's the reason she's playing better, than that's fine with me.
fire katie reason
I thought she was going to come out here and get like 50 points. If you have Katie on fire like that, there's no reason not to go to her.
