game players proud ready seemed since sitting standing stay though time tired
We were ready to play, even though they were able to stay with us for a while. I was really proud of our players for that. We'd been here since Saturday, and we were all getting tired of sitting around. Time seemed to be standing still. But at game time, we were ready.
couple days good played plenty ready room tonight won work
We're going to take a couple of days off, then we'll get to work getting ready for Kansas. There's still some work to do, and there's still plenty of room to get better. The way we played tonight wasn't good enough to get it done, but we won and we're going. That's all that mattered.
best country extra perhaps player team
I don't know why any team would say anything to give perhaps the best player in the country some extra motivation.
extra fair forever games good guess played rest seems
I guess it's fair to everybody, but I think the extra day of rest is a good thing. When we first got here, it seems like it was forever before we played. But now we've played two games in two nights, so an extra day of rest will be good for us.
goal repeated
Repeated and undefeated. That's been the goal all year.
anybody central fan girls knocked players proud top wants
I think anybody here that's not a Central fan wants to see us get knocked off. We're the top dog. I'm just so proud of these players for the way they've responded to all of this. They have some talent, but the most important thing is heart, and these girls have it.
certainly good might package phenomenal played stop teams
Our Big 3 is as good of a frontcourt combination as we've had here, and they certainly played well. They're all having phenomenal years and phenomenal careers. Teams might be able to stop one of them, but the package is pretty dangerous.
bigger fish fry
We've got bigger fish to fry right now.
basketball game pressure turn
We had to put some pressure on them and turn it into a basketball game again. Once we did that, we got some things accomplished.
anywhere close complain good next played statement
We made a statement tonight. There's not a lot I can complain about. We played awfully well. If we play like this, or anywhere close to this in the next two games, I think we're going to be in good shape.
intensity maybe played second
We played with a lot more intensity in the second half. I had some things to say to some of them, and I think maybe I made them mad. Sometimes they play better when they're mad.
finishes needed nobody positive remembers special team third
I know that nobody remembers who finishes third and all of that, but it was important that we won. This was a special team and special players. We needed to go out on a positive note, and we did.
against happened loser tonight
It's a loser against a loser. I haven't even thought about it yet. What happened tonight stings, and it hasn't sunk in yet.
bothered played seen
I've never seen anything like it. It bothered us for a while, but once we got going we played pretty well.
