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.
beat difficult extremely great team three
It's always difficult to beat a team three times. It's extremely difficult to beat a great team three times.
concerned job people shows unselfish
It makes my job easier. I think it shows with our assists, how unselfish they are, but also with the minutes. People are only concerned with the end result.
although time tough
It makes it tough. I feel like it's a time of celebration for our team. Although we're happy, I know there's a lot of tough things going on around campus.
balance great inside outside similar
They're similar to us in that usually if you take away the outside game, you win. Or if you take away the inside game, you win. But with them and with us, we have great balance and an inside-outside attack.
aggressive anybody athletic extremely great job shut transition traps
They're extremely athletic and they do a great job with their traps and presses. They are extremely aggressive and they get out in transition better than anybody in the country. And they are really well balanced. You can't just shut down one person.
ball seen turning
It wasn't just one person, it was everybody. Turning the ball over 31 times - I don't think I've ever seen that from this team. So I'm a little disappointed with that.
battle bitter came certainly determine fight final game
It was certainly a battle to get here. We all had at least one game that we really had to fight through that came right down to the bitter end to determine who would get to the Final Four.
character felt finish great history necessary pressure ugly win
It was the most ugly win in the history of our program. We felt the pressure a bit. But we did what was necessary . . . We showed great character to finish the job.
battle loose war work
It was a war out there. It was a battle for every rebound, for every loose ball, for every play they made us work and I think we did the same for them as well.
great players tainted
That's the great thing about the women's game. The players are very approachable. They haven't been tainted by stardom. They just come to play.
