condition feet five good minutes moving remember
I really can?t remember all five fouls that I got in that game. But I must not have been moving my feet on defense. I?m in good enough condition to play all 40 minutes of the game. I just have to play smart.
game good tournament treated
We got good tournament experience. We treated this game like it was a tournament. We had one day of preparation and then had to come in and play a game.
care chip diverse everybody last loss minnesota overtime sure year
We'll make sure to take care of our business. I think we're a lot better. We're more diverse and a lot more experienced. Just about everybody here went through that loss last year (in overtime to Minnesota in the semifinals). We're going in with a chip on our shoulders.
defender imagine practice shot shoulder time took turned
When I got the ball, I turned in my shoulder and I didn't imagine a defender on me. I practice that shot every day. I just took my time and made it.
defense execute focus game offense type
Our focus in this game was to execute our offense and defense and to play our type of game.
game plan stay sure
Our game plan is going to stay the same. We really don?t know what they?re going to do. We just have to make sure that we do what we have to do.
business care fight hard home road sure wins
Road wins are hard to come by. You really have to go out and fight on the road. Making sure you take care of your business at home is a pretty big deal.
anybody game gotten players year
I think that anybody that is with this program, the players and coaches, know that I've expanded my game this year and I've gotten better.
defense game middle opened outside respect stretch
Our outside game was really clicking, so they had to stretch the defense out and respect our 3-point shooting, and it opened it up in the middle for me.
advantage ball good guards height players post throwing top
We have a height advantage so our guards were throwing the ball over the top and our post players were getting good position.
available half second tried
I was being more active, more aggressive. I was able to see what they were doing in the first half and then I tried to make myself more available in the second half and tried to get more rebounds.
game last points shooter three
I think the X-factor for them in this game was the shooter Dorsey. I think she scored three points the last game. This game she had a lot. That was pretty much the X-factor.
game
I think the x-factor for (BC) in this game was the shooter, Dorsey.
coaches individual life sold talk
He sold me more on his individual personality than the just the program. Most coaches just talk about basketball. He wanted to know what was going on in my life and how I was doing.
