adversity cal couple effort game good great home kids number team total tough win
It was a great win considering the adversity of being without a couple of players. Cal has a very good team and a very tough home court. I was really pleased. It was a total team effort with a number of kids who haven't had a big game in a while.
addition coach good moment recruiting summer terrific
Todd, from the moment he's been here, (has been) very upbeat, and he is a very good coach. With recruiting during the summer and the camps, he already is a terrific addition to the staff.
anyone good home returned seniors team tough washington year
When you play anyone on their home court, I think it's going to be a tough game. Washington is a real good team and they're going to play a lot of people. They returned everyone from a year ago and all their seniors are fifth-year seniors.
good katie players state three washington
Washington State has three good players in Katie Benz, Katie Appleton and Charmaine Jones.
conference good third washington
Washington is very good at home. They're in third place in conference and there is a lot of pressure. They play a lot of different people.
challenge good
It's going to be a good challenge for us.
coach coaching good playing
They really did well non-conference. They have a good coach and coaching staff, (and) they're playing really hard.

When we got here at shoot-around today, I felt good and I knew they felt good. I think the key thing was, we didn't put the emphasis on Stanford. We put the emphasis on us and playing our butts off and having fun.
good great
We're going to have to play great 'D'. They're big, they have very, very good shooters from the field, and great three-point shooting.
adjustment good knew
We thought she could be a good perimeter scorer. At the same time, we knew it would be an adjustment for her.
glad good headed
We do a lot of good things, and some things that aren't very smart. I'm glad we're headed for a new year.
game good intensity shooting
This was not a good game for us. We didn't play with the intensity that we should have as a group, and we're just not shooting with a lot of confidence.
contact creates hard mind player sure versatile ways
I'm sure it's hard in some ways for her, but she's a versatile player who doesn't mind the banging. She creates contact and can shoot, so there are a lot of positives.
game knew struggled
I knew this was not going to be a pretty game. We struggled shooting, but as the game went on we battled.
