assertive bounce defending game good great looked running until
She had a great game tonight. She had a good bounce to her, running up and down the court, defending as well. She was assertive and looked good until the fall.
good people running
I thought they did a very good job, running two people at her. They really made other people make shots.
adrenaline concerns definitely depth excitement forward shot takes
We would definitely look forward to getting another shot at them, if we get the opportunity. The only thing that concerns me is our depth in this kind of four-game stretch. But there's a lot of excitement and adrenaline takes over.
game stops
We didn't make shots, but at the same time, at the end of the game you have to get some stops on the other end.
coming deal floor great jump pain played struggled tough
She was questionable going in and played with a great deal of pain. For a jump shooter, that's tough coming off the floor with that bounce, and I think that's why she struggled a little bit.
deep far game offensive struggled
She's been in and out of the doghouse all year. She's been far deep in there because she struggled defensively. I thought this was a game that could really show some of her offensive skills.
good
She's a good player. That's why she's preseason first-team all-league.
came care losing needed proud wear
Losing the way we had can wear you down emotionally and mentally. I'm really proud how we came back and did what we needed to do. In this conference, you have to take care of things at home.
definitely games hurts locker ncaa type win
It definitely hurts in the locker room. We're an NCAA (Tournament) team. We've just got to win these games. These are the type of games that you need to win to put you over the top.
against best early feeling foul game good injured interior job virginia west
Parsons was injured in the West Virginia game (Feb. 25) and wasn't feeling good. But we will go back with Parsons against Notre Dame. She's our best interior defender. We have to do a good job against (Lindsay) Schrader, a good job against Duffy and not get into early foul trouble.
ball break christmas coming country good north played practices prepared ranked shot team
I thought we had two good practices coming back from Christmas break and thought we were prepared for North Florida. Now we have the No. 3 ranked team in the country (LSU) to prepare for. We're 10-2 now and I like the way we played in the first half. I think we ran our lanes well and shot the ball well.
absolutely basketball excuse half halves played second since understand value worst
I thought the first half was one of the worst halves we've played since I've been here. It was just absolutely terrible. We didn't make shots, we had no value for the basketball and we didn't get second shots. I don't understand it. We've already played 19 games, and to come out and play how we played, there's no excuse for it.
ball basket free good job stretch
I think we did a pretty good job (on Duffy) for about three-quarters of the way though. Down the stretch she made her free throws, put the ball in the basket and we couldn't get the ball away from her.
attention great happy hard paid summer work
I'm happy for her. She's had a great year. Her hard work in the summer has really paid off. It's great she's getting the attention she deserves.
