last played playing proud stopped time
I'm proud of our kids. They never stopped playing hard. Last time we played them, we had 11 players. This time we had seven. That was the difference.
playing
We were like playing 2 on 5 out there. I mean, really.
frustrated lose playing team
The team is frustrated because they want to win. We're playing to lose right now and not to win.
freshman hard players playing road
It's not that we're not playing hard. We're playing hard and we're playing a lot of young players who at times make freshman mistakes, so it's - particularly on the road - it's more difficult.
coach coaching good playing
They really did well non-conference. They have a good coach and coaching staff, (and) they're playing really hard.
emphasis felt good key knew playing
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.
forward four job looking players playing ready seattle sure
We have four players from Seattle looking forward to playing at home. My job is to make sure we're ready to play but also keep everyone focused.
couple games last playing smart turned
We haven't been playing smart the last couple of games. Hopefully, we can get that turned around.
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.
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.
game knew possible potential talented unless
With Kelsey, every game is a possible game when she can have a career-high. We knew she was talented and had potential, but potential is nothing unless you put it all together.
either
We think it's an MCL. Hopefully, she won't need surgery. But either way, it'll take her out for a little bit.
coming forward kids taller
We're going to be much taller and have a lot more depth. All the kids we have coming in are very successful, and we very much look forward to having them here.
