basketball game win
We can't win the basketball game without Erika in the game.
games schedule tougher win
We have to really schedule tougher in our non-conference and we have to win games that we're not 'supposed' to win. And then we've got to win our league.
although defense definitely kept offensive post solid today
We got to here because of our defense. Today we just kept going at them with 3-pointers and going into the post and it was just too much for them. Although our defense was solid again, this was definitely an offensive day.
meant season team weekend
She willed us not just to win, but to play like this. Erika has meant everything to this team all weekend and all season long.
good leading tried
She's always done it in the shadows. She's never tried to be the star, the leading scorer, the MVP. She's never tried to be that. She does it because of how good she is.
best defensive energy excited felt focus intensity minutes
I felt like our defensive focus and intensity for 40 minutes was the best it's been all year. I'm excited about our team's energy overall.
expect felt figured four game guys hard limit stop three
With Humphrey, I just felt like it was too hard to stop her and not expect three or four other guys to have 15, 20 points. So our game plan, to be honest, was to let her get 20-something points. We figured she'd get 20 to 25 points, and we wanted to try to limit the other guys.
crumbling deal gone handle last learned learning pressure responsibility team year
This year and last year the team has really responded to her and she learned how to handle that responsibility. She's gone from shying away from that and sometimes crumbling under that pressure to learning how to deal with it and make us better for it.
dominate earn good gotten hard says since spot starting worked
For her to come in and earn a starting spot and dominate the way she has says a lot about her and how good she is and how hard she has worked since she has gotten here.
draw early financial foresight game graduation helped insight plan prepared
It's never too early to draw up a game plan for your financial future. Having some financial insight and foresight before graduation would have helped me feel more prepared for the real world.
both expected fun georgia happen higher history pressure sides
It's fun to be on both sides of it, I'll be honest. It's a lot more pressure to be on the other end, where you're the higher seed. Georgia is expected to win, and if they don't, it's a disappointing end to their season. Not that it won't be disappointing for us to lose, but if things happen to go our way, it's history in the making.
game good means ncaa plan program ranked stuck win
It means so much to our program at Hartford, not just to get a win in the NCAA Tournament, but to get a win over a top-25 program that's been nationally ranked for two seasons. I thought we had a good game plan and stuck to it.
added advantage comfort crowd excitement families front good huge level motivation
I think it's a huge advantage because our comfort level is good at home. We play in front of our own crowd so the excitement level is there. The kids' families are all here so it's just a comfortable place, they don't need any added any motivation when their at home.
athlete kids goal
I love it. I love the challenge of it, working with kids every day, setting goals for myself and the program. I feel it was what I was meant to do. You remember your own experiences, and you want to do it for someone else.
