average break challenge fans home missouri per record state tough
To set the record and not be at home, I couldn't think of a better place to break it at. Missouri State is tough at home and they average over 6,000 fans per game, so it will a tough challenge for our kids.
caught criticism critics-and-criticism good gotten low schedule season tough
I've probably gotten caught up in it more than I should have. There has been some criticism of our schedule this season and it probably wasn't as tough as it could have been. If we can keep our RPI in the low or mid-30s, I think we'd have a pretty good chance. If we go into the 40s we won't have a very good chance.
built seniors tradition
Our seniors have accomplished a lot this season. I was disappointed that this was the way our seniors had to go out, but they have built a tradition with everything that they have done.
hope leave left ncaa season type void
I would like to think with the type of season that we've had, we're well-deserving of (an NCAA bid). I hope that we don't get left out because that would leave a real void in these seniors' careers.
fans forward game last looking lying since stopped talking
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a game that we've been looking forward to. Our fans haven't stopped talking about it since last March.
bringing given joy life proud represent season thank university
I am so very proud of what you've been able to accomplish. I'm so proud of the way you've been able to represent this university and I thank you for bringing joy to my life and the season that you've given me this year.
ball great job needs step
She does a great job of recognizing who to get the ball to and when to get it to them or when she needs to step up and be more of a scorer.
business care court focusing front home illinois maybe ready southern
Maybe we were focusing a little too much on the championship, being on our home court in front of all our fans. Now we just have to focus on Southern Illinois and get ready to take care of business in the MVC tournament.
conference defend rely talented teams tournament
When you get into the conference tournament you can't rely so much on your offense. There are too many talented teams that defend well.
addition annie depth gives guard guards point relieve starting ton
With the addition of Annie, she gives us a lot of depth at the guard position. Annie will be able to relieve Mel at the point so we don't have to play our starting guards a ton of minutes.
hope point starts
It starts with our captains, and it starts with our point guard. I hope it stings. I hope it hurts.
came depth fantastic great job keeping key running stepping success talent team until
It was a great team effort. Having depth and talent has been a big key to our success this season. Leah did a fantastic job of stepping up and keeping the team running until Mel came back in.
bad left power schedule seem seems strength teams works
Our strength of schedule was not fantastic, but it was not as bad as some that got in. When you look at 18-12 teams getting in from power conferences -- the mid-majors seem to be left out in the cold. It seems like it works a little differently on the men's side.
days freshman good point time
They got a freshman point guard. Any time you have a freshman point guard, some days are good and some days are bad.
