far physical turn
This was by far the most physical game, and you can't just turn it on in one game.
ball court game good great job obviously score slowing walking
This was a really good game for us to play. Obviously we like to score in transition, and Auburn did a great job just walking the ball up the court and slowing down the tempo.
basketball expect known passion playing
We just weren't playing with the effort, the intensity, the desire, the passion that I think we're known for and that we've come to expect from our basketball team.
attack ball good guards job knew time
We wanted to attack the baseline. They were in a 2-3 or 3-2. A lot of the time they were in the 3-2 and we knew the baseline was open. We had our shooters go to the baseline, and our guards did a good job skipping the ball to the baseline.
attack good guards high job post run weaknesses
We wanted to attack the baseline, because when they run a 3-2 zone, we know the baseline and high post are the weaknesses of that zone. And our guards did a good job of penetrating.
best national shown until win
We've had the best conference, but until you back it up, win a national championship, it's all talk. Now, we've shown people.
both dates game happy hard michigan playing schools state trying wish worked
We were really trying to get a game with Michigan State this year. Both schools worked really hard to make this happen. Both schools wanted a home-and-home. The dates just didn't work out. I'm happy to be playing Michigan State. I wish it was in the state of Michigan.

We knew we had to lock down in the second half, and we really did. I thought that was the difference.
ball blocking changes extremely game gets shots transition
When she's blocking shots, I think it's extremely intimidating to the opponent, and it also changes shots and that gets the transition game going. She gets the ball out quickly.
team
I told the team I'm kind of glad. I know that we will be better because of this game.
afterwards almost bad easy game team
I told the team afterwards that it's not a bad thing to have a game like this. It's been almost too easy for us up to this point. Everything was flowing; everything was in sync. This game things did not go well for us, but we did what was necessary.
best books
It's one of the best books I've ever read.
attack both changes decide ends great mindset point team
It's the little things (that will decide the game). When you get to this stage, every team is a great team. You're not going to make changes at this point in time, so you have to do the little things very, very well. It's the box-outs, the screens. It's the attack mindset on both ends of the floor. It's the little things that make the big difference.
athletic difficult great hard job prepare team
It's their athleticism. They do a great job with their traps, and you don't see it every day, so it's hard to prepare for. They're the most athletic team in the country, and it's difficult to prepare for that.
