I've been trying to get back home with my team. It's kind of ironic that we both tried hard to schedule a game this year during the season and unfortunately the dates did not work out and we're now playing each other in the NCAA Tournament.

Early on, we were the aggressor, and I thought we did a great job. But I thought as the game wore on they became a little more comfortable.

Every time their games went into overtime, they won. I've seen many instances where the pressure is really on, and they come through.
came deep everybody game gets lead mentally opportunity physically quick ready
We feel like we have a really deep team. Every game everybody that can play usually gets an opportunity to play. I think we came ready mentally and physically to and getting out to that quick lead (17-2) kind of set the tone.

We really tried to get a game with Michigan State. We wanted to have a home-and-away (series), but the dates would just not work. Hopefully we'll get a home-and-away scheduled later on because I really want to get back to Michigan and bring my team with me.

She takes such pride in her defense, and I could see the frustration on her face. I told her she was going to be fine, and she was. She changed the game for us. She was the difference.

Monique showed why she's the best player in the ACC and one of, if not the best player in the nation. When it comes crunch time and we need her, she's a gamer and she wants the ball in her hands.
basketball couple fans feeling felt game great impressed places played
When we played there a couple of years ago, I was really impressed with their fans because I felt like they were knowledgeable but not out of control. It didn't feel intimidating to me. It just felt like a great basketball game with good, appreciative fans. It was a different feeling than some places you go to.
game gets played senior shots starts sure team together
This team has always played together well. They've always been unselfish. It starts with the senior leadership. They could take 20 shots a game but they don't, and they make sure everyone gets involved.
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.
