games pressure seen time
Every time their games went into overtime, they won. I've seen many instances where the pressure is really on, and they come through.
badly force found pressure team tried win
I've let that pressure go. I feel like we're going to win it at some point. I know we're going to win it at some point. I think in the past, I wanted it so badly for the team that I tried to force it to happen, and I found out that's not really possible.
makeup maybe pressure relaxed strain stress sure year
I don't feel that strain or stress or pressure (of being a No. 1 seed). I feel more relaxed this year than I have any other year, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the makeup of this team.
ball care decisions focused greater job pressure quite seeing sure taking turning year
Obviously, we've got to do a better job of taking care of the basketball. I'm not quite sure why we're turning the ball over more now. I don't think we're seeing any greater pressure than we're seeing all year long. I just think we're not as focused as we need to be and not making great decisions with the basketball.
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.
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.
ali ball beat both changes ends floor game guards help passing pressure waiting
I think Ali changes the game at both ends of the floor but specifically on defense. It allows our guards to really pressure the ball and get up in the passing lanes, because they know if they get beat they've got Ali back there waiting to help them out.
again caused easy mentally pressure
Their pressure once again caused us problems. We did not play with a whole lot of poise.... I wouldn't say it's an easy fix, I would say it's a mentality. Once again I feel like we need to become mentally tougher.
ball decisions focused great greater pressure quite seeing seen sure turning year
I'm not quite sure why we're turning the ball over more now. We're not seeing any greater pressure than we've seen all year long. I think we're not quite as focused as we need to be, and we're not making great decisions with the basketball.
along great laugh memories pressure
You've got to laugh at yourself, or laugh at your team. There's pressure on any team, but you have to make as many great memories as you can along the way.
three
We just see it as three games. It's it's own entity. That's our only focus.
affect great looking lost maryland people record teams thinking
We just lost to two great teams ... but I think people are looking at our record thinking we're on a downslide. Because Maryland is such a great team, I don't think it should affect our seeding.
anxious pleased ready word
We were ready to play from the word 'go'. I was very pleased with our start. I was a little anxious to see how we'd come out and if we'd be a little off our rhythm, and we weren't. We were ready.
certainly needed tone
We certainly needed her. She set the tone for us.
