good runs situation
That was not a good situation for us. Lindsey runs the show for us.
difficult gets good happen kidding prepare start
That was a really good start for us. Now we know it gets much more difficult from here on out. We'll prepare for that. ... We're not kidding ourselves; we know that's not going to happen again.
almost game good hopefully
I think this was probably really good for us. They say almost every tournament, there's always one game where you don't play well and you've got to find a way to win. Hopefully this was our one game.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
