focused pressure relaxed staying
We can't get so tensed up and spastic like we have before. Staying focused and relaxed and not getting so tensed up will be the key. We have no pressure on us.
carry confidence good playing road teams wins
It was two good wins here, but a lot of other teams are playing confident. We just have to carry our confidence on to the road and keep it up.
great people stepped tonight
There's other people that can (score) so that's a great thing. I wasn't doing it tonight and other people stepped up and did it.
ball care chances four half points second took
We really took care of the ball in the second half (one turnover after halftime). And we had 20 points off of their turnovers. We didn't give them but four chances to do that on us.
eight team
We were up by eight, but we've been down by eight in that same situation. You have to know that a team can come back from that.
great losing ncaa nobody playing tournament
Losing is not fun, but we still got here. Nobody thought we'd get here and we did. Playing in the NCAA Tournament is a great way to end.
beat blown couple hard home loss personal pride
This year, we got beat by 20 a couple of times and that was hard to take. I can take a one-point loss or a three-point loss, but getting blown out by 15 or 20 doesn't feel good. Even at home we got beat by a lot at times and that's a personal pride thing. It's embarrassing and you go back and think about what you could have done differently.
looking needed wrong
We only needed a two, so I wasn't really looking for the 3. I just did the wrong thing.
arms biggest bounce chest difference pass throw time
The biggest difference with (Traore) was that she had height. Her arms are really long and every time I got a pass it had to be a bounce pass because her arms were too long to throw a chest pass.
almost coaching missouri playing staff state wear week
It's another week for me to wear this Missouri State uniform. I like playing for this coaching staff and for this team. It's almost over for me, but I don't want it to end.
good hard looks taller time
It's hard to get good looks when you have someone guarding you who is so much taller but at the same time just as quick.
hung met people players
It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of people and hung out with some players I hadn't met before.
awards nice
It will be something nice to look back on later, but I don't really think about awards too much right now.
jackie saw speech
It went excellent. I'm not lying. I said I didn't want to come here because of that speech. I saw Jackie (Stiles) do it and it made me nervous.
