cause felt good pressure
We wanted to put the same kind of pressure on them that they put on us. We felt if we really penetrated strongly, and did a good job, that it would cause fouls on their part.
athletes student tall
It's a tall order, but they are student athletes and they like challenges.
badly game knew tired
It was effective. But we knew that would be a part of their game plan. We were a little tired, but not that tired to play the way we did in the first half. We should have done better, we know that. We feel badly for our fans, that we didn't give them more than we did today.
five happened lose performance strong team
It was a very disappointing performance for us. We know it is important when you play a team like them that you have to come out strong and not to lose in the first five minutes, which I feel happened to us.
needed performance prepared
It was a very disappointing performance for us. I just don't feel that we were prepared as well as we needed to be for this game.
fortunate last punch
It was a slug-out. Just punch for punch. We were fortunate to get the last punch in.
game thoughts win worry
It will be tough. But we have to win Game 1 before we worry about it, so it's not even in my thoughts right now.
blessed coached coaching games hard imagine mean special
Wow, it's hard to imagine coaching 1,000 games, but that does mean I have been in it for a long time. It is very special to have coached so many games and to have been blessed to do so.
badly deep fighting hole knew tired
We knew we were tired, but not that tired to play that badly in the first half. We got into a deep hole and then we were just fighting for our lives.
ball confidence deep extremely felt fighting five game great happened hole level lose point rose shot start team
We know it's important with a team like that, and other really great teams, to start the game out strong, not to start to lose it in the first five minutes, which I felt happened to us today. From that point their confidence level really rose and they really shot the ball extremely well. We just got in a deep hole and then we were just fighting for our life.
bracket coming eat four games love rest saw tired win
This is now a mind-over-matter thing. We saw coming in that we would have to play four games in the bracket (to win the title). We'll go back and rest and we'll eat well. It's going to be a two-hour game. We love the game, so it's not like we're doing something we hate. How tired can we be? We can't be tired.
outside played
Offensively, we never got it going. We didn't play well on the inside. We didn't play well on the outside ... (FSU) played very well defensively.
carolina clinic north played
North Carolina put on a clinic in the first half. I was disappointed in the way we played defensively. We played them much better in the first two games.
great hard playing tough
I think Cristy is doing a great job. They're really playing hard for her. They're a really tough team.
