early flow might practice prepare
We have to go with the flow here. We might have to practice early one day this week, kind of prepare them. But the little things like that, you just have to go with.
best chance last night regular season wins
We're banged up about as much as we can be and they don't complain. They rallied for our last night here at Haas (Pavilion) in the regular season and the chance to go to the (NCAA) Tournament. They put everything out there. This is probably one of our best wins of the year.
care case dominating people playing shots taking team
We are playing well defensively, but people are getting more shots than we are. We are not taking care of the ball, and that's all us. It's not a case of the other team dominating us.
against drill loser practices putting situations winner
Our practices are brutal. We set up every drill to be competitive. We have to have a winner or loser or you're going against the clock. We're always putting them in situations like that.
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.
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.
might next people talk tried until wait
I think there's a lot of people who thought we might get too much too soon, and what we've always tried to talk about is why wait until next year.
number running
I think we're in the running, but I don't want to put a number on it.
