amount character execute finish guts stop stretch team tremendous
Down the stretch we were able to execute a little better and get a stop or two and finish it. I thought our team showed a tremendous amount of character and guts down the stretch.
bring limit playing seen stop touches
She's playing better than I've ever seen her play on film. We're going to try to limit her touches and we're going to try to bring the double. One person doesn't stop Jessica.
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.
bring double effort great others stop teams tendencies understand
You can't let others have big nights. You have to bring a lot of double teams (to stop Davenport) and you have to understand tendencies and live with percentages. It has to be a great team effort defensively.
against felt matter plays question score stop
There was no question we felt like we could score against them. It was a matter of making plays down the stretch. We just didn't get a stop, and we were one stop away.
compete fact happen lose matters minutes talked ten today urgency
We talked about its 20 minutes and today really matters a whole bunch. And it's a sense of urgency and the fact that if you want to compete for a Big Ten title, this can't happen today. We can't lose today.
against played road talented task team tougher year
We just played a team that has everyone returning. We were 3-1 against them a year ago and I said they were the most talented team in the league. There won't be a tougher task on the road than this.

We just wanted to make sure that we tried to we limit her touches. We shaded her in our zone. We wanted to change our defenses up and I think that was more disrupting.
bubble life relive scare year
We had the scare of our life a year ago, being on the bubble in February. We don't want to relive that experience.
across bad depends happens
We don't want that to happen. If it does, it does. It was not our goal. A lot depends on what happens across the country. I'll feel bad if it happens.
control matter stretch wants
We control our own destiny. It's going to be a matter of will down the stretch and who wants it the most.
sure
We're going to try to make sure we play our tempo.
control decisions good great job lately shots taken tempo
The shots that she's taken were all good shots and that's the difference. She has done a great job lately of being able to control the tempo more and making better decisions in our half-court offense.

There's so many things as a coach that you see. The room for improvement is huge for us, and we'll come back and work on that.
