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.
best game history knew state team
It was exciting, being the first team in UNC history to be No. 1. But Sunday's game was over. We knew N.C. State was going to come in and give us their best shot.
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.
game good pass shot teammates
I just try to let the game come to me and get my teammates involved. If there's a good shot there, I'm going to take it. If not, then I'm going to pass it back out. I just try and go with the flow.
anybody beaten biggest creep focused given hope nation remain stay target team
I hope it doesn't creep into anything. We just have to remain focused now that we're the only team in the nation that's undefeated. We have the biggest target on our back that we've ever had. So I just think we have to stay focused because anybody can be beaten on any given night.
cares dance fired hustle ivory might tries wink
Ivory is a character. I don't think she really cares what she does. She just tries to be unique. She's the (Terrell Owens) of women's basketball. When she makes a hustle play or a steal, she might give you a dance or a wink to let you know that she's fired up. You just never know what she's going to do.
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.
glad slower
It couldn't come any slower in my opinion, but I'm glad it's here.
I don't know -- maybe. What did you think?
energy plug provide provides spark tried
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.
behind glad
We're glad to get this one behind us.
