board gained hit knew momentum players points seemed shots three took
(Idaho State) can put points on the board and have the players to do it, and I knew it was going to be a real battle. They gained some momentum and took the lead, then Erin Hicks hit two big three point shots which put us back up and it seemed like we took over from there.
continue direction excited good next players win
We have to continue to get good players. Players win games. I get them in the right direction, but you have to have good players. I'm excited about our next class.
attitude bring players winning
These are young players who are used to winning and bring a winning attitude to our program.
arena basket couple entire field five forces gets gives great group grow hits job last magic needed nice offensive plays point seconds start steal struggling three
There was a little Wyoming magic in the Arena tonight. We're down five with 15 seconds to go, Dominique Sisk hits a three point field goal, we come up with the steal and Erin Hicks gets a basket which forces the overtime. It's been this way with this group that never gives up and plays for the entire game. We've had to grow up over the last couple of games, and we just needed to get back to the way we were playing. Erin Hicks got us off to a great start tonight. She's been struggling from the field, but she did a nice job of getting things going on the offensive end.
basket credit crowd nebraska stop tonight
One of the things I thought tonight is that we could never put two big baskets together, or put a basket and a stop together. And I give Nebraska a lot of credit for that. We got the crowd into it. I thought we were going to get a little momentum, and they would stop it immediately with a big play.
building commitment headed job knew players program three took
When we took the job three years ago we knew we had some building to do. With the players that have been able to come in and the commitment of these players, I can't say enough for what they've done for me and to be able to get this program headed into the right direction.
changed standpoint talent
Those two from a talent standpoint have really changed our team.
double percent shoots team
You can't double team Marsh well when (Katie) Montgomery shoots 51 percent (from 3-point range).
players step
We've had a lot of different players step up for us (in the post).
basketball best guards post shoot talented
(Nebraska) is a very talented team. Their guards can shoot the basketball. They have the post presence. We're going to have to play at our best level.
associated basketball best confidence gave seasons special week
That has to be the best one week of basketball I've ever been associated with. I've been with seasons that have been tremendous, but never to that caliber. That week really gave us the confidence that we could make this a special season.
chance defending post thinking
We're always undersized in the post so our thinking was we had a better chance at defending on the perimeter than in the post.
ball beyond contribute expected far gone knew program quality stepping team
We knew when we recruited Megan that we were getting a quality ball player. But what she's been able to contribute to this team has gone far beyond what we expected from her stepping into the program as a freshman.
enjoying relax start victory wondering
You start wondering when that first victory is going to come. That victory made them relax and start enjoying the season.
