love point team
The thing I love about this team is they love March. Everything from this point on is super-hard but super-fun.
conference good league middle occur people portion stronger teams
I don't think people (Purdue) will be unbeaten. I just think there are too many good teams and too many teams doing good things. I can't say when that will occur or I can't say how that will occur but I just think that the league is too good. ... It's a stronger conference this year, especially in the middle portion of it.
focus team time
We don't have time for it right now. It's not important. What's important is the team and what we have to focus on.
advanced against assume course game key learning moment national ohio people team urgent
Of course this game is urgent, but I thought we were urgent and in the moment against Ohio State. People assume the team that advanced to the national championship game returned, and that team did not return. We're a young team, and we're learning how to be urgent. The key is to be consistently attacking.
experience four growing people realize team
I think what most people don't realize is that this team has four people with experience (but) I think this team is really growing now.
defensive felt focus game good team
I felt we had a good team defensive effort. It was a good game for us to really focus on rebounding.
execution shot terms
We were pretty pathetic, in terms of our execution and also our shot selection.
friday good lindsay massage next seniors till time
The time off till next Friday will be a very good thing. Our seniors have logged a lot of minutes. I'd like for Lindsay and Liz to go get a massage or something, to live a little.
ball game good loved pressure reasons tremendous
That was really a tremendous game for a lot of reasons for us. Loved the rebounding advantage. When you have that kind of ball pressure and that kind of rebounding, only good things can happen.
chances created developed shot
Lindsay's really developed that shot and created chances for herself. It just makes a whole lot of sense.
call definitely front kids last overtime pass
It definitely should have been an overtime game. I had one timeout and didn't call it. Those kids should have all been in front of us. But that last pass was astounding.
focus
We've got to go after a Goliath. We've got to focus on ourselves, what we've got to do as a team.
beat face kicked
Now we have to face Goliath. They beat us at the buzzer, and they kicked our tails for 40 minutes.
aggression lack mostly
We need to be a lot more aggressive. It was mostly a lack of aggression and focus.
