bit fought gave good knew maryland overtime today upset worked
We were a little bit upset by that overtime loss. We knew we were the better team, but it wasn't our night. Today in the first half, a lot of things worked for us. Maryland didn't quit. They fought back, and they gave us another good game.
against care irritate patient poised scrappy team
You have to be really patient against a team like us because we can be really scrappy and irritate you. You have to be poised and patient and take care of the ball.

We're glad to get this one behind us.
I don't know -- maybe. What did you think?

She's a spark plug and provides energy. So, I tried to provide energy when she went down.
shots
Shots like that just take everything out of you.
block brings drawn free game limit line moves people plan post step throw
She brings a lot of versatility. Down on the block she has her post moves but she can also step out and take people to the free throw line with her 15-foot jumper. We haven't drawn up the game plan yet. First, though, we're going to try to limit her touches. We don't want her to get the ball.
glad slower
It couldn't come any slower in my opinion, but I'm glad it's here.
ball cylinders hitting passing playing pressure shooting team turn
I think we were hitting on all cylinders -- passing the ball, shooting it well and playing team defense. As you can see, the pressure made them turn the ball over a lot in the first half.
beaten game gone good might next played team
I think that was really good. If we would have played a team that we would have beaten by 30, that wouldn't have been good for us. We might have gone into the next game and relaxed.
opportunity people
I think there was a lot of one-on-one defense. There wasn't much opportunity for people to help.
came tip today
Maryland, from the (opening) tip of the ball, they wanted it really bad. And it showed out there today and they came out with a W.
enjoy linger
We're going to enjoy our win. But we can't let our celebration linger on.
coach expect expecting physical
Coach told us to expect a physical game, but we weren't expecting it to be as physical as it was.
