enjoy forward looking test thoroughly tough watching
I thoroughly enjoy watching them play. We have a tough test on our hands, one I'm looking forward to playing.
excellent played struggling took
I thought they played an excellent game. I know they've been struggling with their rebounding, and I think they took it out on us today.
came focus normally
I thought we came out a little slow. We didn't have the focus that we normally have.
advantage depth eight gas ran
I think we ran out of gas with just eight players. We need to use depth to our advantage.
allow anxious attribute happen understand
I think we were very anxious to play. I can attribute some of that to the turnovers that we had, which is unacceptable. We understand we can't allow that to happen any more.
becoming efficient minutes people players stay wear
I think we're very comfortable with (the rotation) now and I think our players are becoming much more efficient. (Currie) was just very efficient with her minutes and I think part of it is because she's able to stay fresh. And I think we wear people down that way as well.
aggressive gotten playing
I think we've gotten back to playing the way we want to play, and that's hard, aggressive defense.
both pride teams
I think both teams take pride in their defense.
career final four game good pressure successful team throughout trying win
I think being able to get to the Final Four four times is pretty nice. I feel very good about it. I know our team is going to be successful throughout my career so I don't feel the pressure of trying to win another game or win two more games. I know that we can.
hit stops sudden
I think sometimes, when we hit our buckets and get some stops defensively, all of the sudden you look up and you're up by 10. We can be kind of methodical. When something's working for us, we keep going to it.
fatigue game hit nice playing proud took worried
I was just a little worried about fatigue and playing this 11 a.m. game. I was really proud of the team. I thought it took us a little while to get going, but once we hit our stride, I thought we had a nice inside-outside game going.
easy mentally
I wouldn't say it's an easy fix. I think it's a mentality. Once again, I feel like we have to become mentally tougher.
coming drained energy euphoria feeling gives good
It can be good or bad. Sometimes you're emotionally drained because you had such a feeling of euphoria coming off a big win. But sometimes it gives you more energy or more confidence.
call difficult happy immediate players
I think it's much more difficult to keep players happy nowadays. We live in what I call a fast-food society, where we all want immediate gratification. We want what we want and we want it now.
