conference people recognize respect teams
To get that many teams in, to get that much respect really makes people recognize this conference as a force.
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.
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.
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.
biggest people wake
For the program, for the school, it's our biggest win. It's going to wake some people up.
chance country game great half kids opportunity people playing realize
I just want them to realize that half the people in the country aren't playing for anything and we have an opportunity to play for something. This is a great chance and I know my kids will get up for it. We'll be there. Where the game will go, who knows? But we will be there.
approach lose plate
There's so much on my plate right now, I just take it a day at a time. If I didn't approach it that way, I think I'd lose my mind.
game gave half points stop tough transition
You have to stop their transition game and you have to make them take tough shots. We gave up 20 points in transition in the first half in that (loss). You just can't do that.
certain comfort feed game playing running situations six somebody stretch stuff team zone
We end up running a lot of two-man game stuff for them down the stretch and in certain situations and they really feed off each other. It's a comfort zone that you've been playing with somebody for four, five, six years. It makes you a better team because of that.
ball best bring five kids minutes seeing settle step time tournament understanding wait
I think how those kids have reacted to that is the best lesson. It's tournament time and they've got to step it up. When the ball is in the air, they've got to bring everything they can bring and they can't wait five minutes to settle in. I think us going through it, seeing it and understanding it is very valuable.
control couple locker process registered seconds seeds took
I think I was the first one out of the seat. I started jumping. It was out of control in the locker room. I think it took us all a couple of seconds to process it because there were only a couple of seeds left. When we all registered it was us, it was mayhem.
I think I was the first one out of the seat.
