campus crucial forward game leadership nina played question senior since situations step stepped team
This team is Nina?s team, there?s no question about that. It?s always been the senior leadership that has to step forward and Nina has played every game since she stepped on this campus and she?s been in a lot of crucial situations ? and she?s the only one.
ball difference focus gave gotten happy knew needed rest second shutting
We knew she was going to get her points. I don't think you can focus on shutting her down. I would have been happy if she'd gotten 20 and we did what we did what we needed to do the rest of the way. Unfortunately, we gave them a lot of second opportunities. That was the difference in the ball game.
heels improving perfect quickly team
We're improving, but I don't know if we're improving quickly enough. This team has been on its heels for some time. We've been in a perfect storm.

First and foremost, Bonnie has done a great job. They're really playing well. They're so disciplined. They'll be hard to beat. I think they'll be a factor in the Big 12.

basketball growth hard missed people players solid tech texas time
It's a hard job, and she's been doing it a long time and doing it really, really well. She'll be missed not only at Texas Tech and by the players she's coaching, but in the basketball community. She's one of the solid people who has been really instrumental in the growth of our sport.

There are days it's really been fun. And there are days when it's really been, well ... trying.

We had a total offensive collapse in the second half. Everything was going our way, but it just fell apart.
road schedule tough
Our schedule is not going to get any easier. It's a tough road from here on out.

That's not the first time she's hit a shot that was like a dagger.
