came consistent country great leave people program team vision
When Tara first came out west, a lot of people were scratching their heads. Why would she leave a team that was No. 7 in the country to take on a program that hadn't had much success? But she had a great vision for what the program could become and she's been consistent in that, day in and day out.

both controlled halves played program team testimony win
We played very well for both halves and we controlled our rebounding. This was a big win for this program and a real testimony of what this team is all about.
itself next ready sort staff team
Who knows? You never know. What you do know is you keep your staff and your team ready for the next opponent. It's going to sort itself out right after the Pac-10 tournament.
basketball chance everybody figure grab knows opposite percent players rebounds shoot
I think everybody in basketball knows that about 70 percent of the rebounds go opposite of from where you shoot it. So we just figure if you get more players on the opposite side, we've got a chance mathematically to grab a lot more boards.
