against backs business care far feeling games maybe ready taking team wall won
If we had won that (Arizona) game, maybe we wouldn't be feeling like our backs are against the wall. But I feel like our backs are against the wall as far as our team taking care of business on the road. We need to go into these games ready to compete.
again challenges face team time wants
I don't know why this team wants to face challenges when they don't have to, but time and time again we do it.
affect bad capable consistent game potential touched vice
She's probably our most consistent player, and when she has a bad game offensively she doesn't let it affect her defensively, and vice versa. Her potential is unlimited. I don't think she's touched what she's really capable of.
added checked cousins experience family occurred seen selection share
It's great! I'll get to see cousins that I haven't seen for years. I don't think I'll have enough tickets, actually. During the selection show, it never occurred to me that we would be going to Pennsylvania. I never checked where we were going. But today, after the fact, I know that being able to share this experience with my family will be an added bonus.
ball biggest created defensive focused kick letting stopping stops transition
They got a lot of threes in transition (last time) so we focused on that today. Our biggest thing was stopping the ball and not letting them penetrate and kick out for three's. We got a lot of stops on the defensive end and that created a lot of transition buckets for us.
biggest experience great learn physical
They do a great job. They're up-tempo, they're physical and they get right up on you. Turnovers have been our biggest downfall. I can say it over and over again, but part of it they are just going to have to learn as they experience it.
effect feeling high lingering office strange walked
This morning, when I walked into the office, there was this strange feeling that someone would come tell me that it was not true. It's the lingering effect of being on a high for so long. It doesn't feel real.
entire excuse game played rhythm zone
They played zone the entire game so we got into a rhythm with it-it's something we've been working on for 3 days. Still, we had 11 turnovers in the first half-there's no excuse for that.
blown key offense transition
They're a transition team-they key their offense off their defense. That's an experienced team. We could've been blown out by 30.
approach arizona defensive focus state tough
That's still out there for us. The way for us to approach it is-just focus in on Arizona State right now. They're very tough at home, very dangerous. It's going to have to be a tough defensive game.
blessed expect people telling
A lot of people were telling us to not expect too much. We've been blessed to be able to get that spot.
chemistry develop except maybe people talked worked year
A lot of people have talked about our youth, but they've worked through the chemistry issues. They're young, except for Renee, so our chemistry has had to develop all year long. I feel like we're maybe peaking at the right time.
believing great kids laying next people toward until wait
A lot of people have said, 'You're laying a great foundation,' but why shouldn't we be working toward this now? I want the kids believing that we don't have to wait until next year.
biggest consistent goals noise though
We're just inconsistent-that's the biggest thing. Even though we've set goals, we've been inconsistent with them. We have to be more consistent with all these things to make some noise here at the end.
