focus four happened last sweet talk team typical
I told the team that we'd talk about that at the end of the season, but that my focus was on them. It's a typical spring, this has happened each of the last four seasons. But my only focus is to take them to the Sweet 16.
time
It's one and done at this time of year, so you take them any way you can get them.
care disease floor number obviously points taking widespread
It's obviously our perimeter play we're not taking care of the ball. And it's pretty much a widespread disease for us. She (Davenport) is going to get the number of points she got. But we've got to come back down the floor and score.
feeds team time year
It's that time of year where you got to do all the little things. I think our team really feeds from that.
choose pick
It's kind of like pick and choose your poison.
kids talking
It's interesting because the kids were talking about that and still weren't able to do anything about it.
effort energy great matter played urgency
It was a matter of getting some stops. We played with great effort and energy and a sense of urgency down the stretch.
far gain game good knees matter movement practice situations stops tonight totally week
No matter how much you put her in situations in practice to gain that (confidence), it's really good when she can have some game success. The knees were totally different than a week ago. She was totally different as far as her movement tonight laterally and she had some good stops defensively as well.
great kids physical ten
It was a great Big Ten battle. It was physical and I thought our kids didn't back down from the challenge.
biggest confidence early fact hold kids letting point pride quick shots took
The biggest thing was not letting them have quick shots and not give them a lot of confidence early in the game. Our kids took a lot of pride in the fact that we wanted to hold them to at least one point under their average. We were able do that.
adversity catch close knew somebody sooner
(The Badgers) have been so close so much of the season. They've had so much adversity, so many injuries, you knew sooner or later, they probably were going to catch up to somebody and they were able to catch up to Minnesota.
basketball best minutes opportunity shadow worked year
It's going to take 40 minutes of the best basketball we can give. Do we have that in us? Without a shadow of a doubt. We've worked all year to get an opportunity like this.
emotion energy goal sure sustain
It's been a slugfest, been really physical. Our goal is to sustain that energy and emotion we had tonight, and I'm sure that's their goal, too.
bit came character good perseverance run sustain ten wisconsin
It's good to see when Wisconsin made a run and came at us that we were able to show a bit of character and perseverance and sustain it. That's what the Big Ten is about.
