certainly focusing good practice showing
It's something that we certainly have been focusing on. What we've done in practice is showing up in the games. We've done a pretty good job.
continued defense gain good great half hit second shots
It was gradual. They hit shots and continued to gain more confidence. Our defense in the second half was not as good as it was in the first half, and they hit great shots.
bit entire fortunate gone good july miss missed month opportunity recruiting summer
I'm really fortunate because I'm not going to be gone that long, and I won't miss recruiting. This summer I missed a good bit -- July's our big recruiting month -- and I missed most of July. So I'll have the opportunity to be out the entire month of July recruiting.
good player
She'll get her chance. She's too good of a player not to.
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.
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.
defensive good great kids willing
She's one of those kids who's good on the ball, and she's really good off the ball, too. She's willing to take a charge, and she does a lot of the little things that go into making a great defensive player.
good learning plays process
I feel good about where we are right now and about who plays well together, ... We're still in the process of learning who we are, but we have a much better feel for it now than when we started.
couple daily dominated games good lose several tested
There were several years where we really dominated and didn't lose any games for a couple of years. I don't know how good that was for us because we weren't tested on a daily basis.
change good knew opportunity win
We knew win or lose, it was just one game. It doesn't change anything. It was an opportunity to find out how good we were. Today, we were pretty good.
against ball convert decisions easy good half pay teams turn turning
When you turn the ball over, they're going to make you pay for it. Let me put it that way. Against some teams you can get away with turning the ball over 23 times. Carolina, if you turn it over 23 times, they're probably going to make you pay on at least half of them and convert them into easy shots. We just didn't make good decisions with the basketball.
good job missed rust second talked
In the first half, we had good energy, but we missed a little focus. I think part of that was us getting a little rust off us. In the second half, we talked about being focused, and we did a much better job with that.
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.
