came course dominated eight last league open realize scheduling seven teams tradition
When I first came in the league, I thought it was a 'welcome-to-the-league scheduling format,' where you open with the two teams who have dominated the league through the course of the last seven or eight years. Now I realize it's a tradition you have to live with.
capability few larger national past phase teams winning
The (number) of teams that have the capability of winning the national championship is larger than it has been. In the past, there were only a few teams capable, but I think we're past that phase of our game.
arguably beat best four good including last shared team teams winning year
Winning it is great. We shared it with a pretty good team last year (Michigan State) and we had to go 14-2 to do that. We beat some really good teams this year, including arguably four of the best down the stretch.
When we got down eight, we ratcheted it up and went to another level.
boxing responsibility stopped
We stopped being a sieve on the glass. We started to take responsibility for boxing out.

I think we are capable of winning when she has to sit. You have a frame of reference for a season, and that frame of reference is we have won without Jessica Davenport, it means we can do it again.
convinced
I think they probably were convinced they couldn't play any worse.

almost author billboard dialogue hear jim mostly point presented program
My program is not critical. It's almost like a billboard for the author's book. I've never presented it as being anything other than that. We get a dialogue going and we get to the point where it is a conversation. Mostly you hear the author and not Jim Foster. That's my goal.
time
Jess is always going to be back with that little time left.
good guarded spot
Jess was being guarded one-on-one, and that's a pretty good spot for us.
