game good inside nice penn point state sure
Why not? They have a good inside game and their point guard, I know she's only a freshman, but she does a nice job. She's going to be good before it's all done ... sure Penn State can make some noise.
bad challenged change crystal emotional game incredible level remember start team test
I don't remember being part of a game that got off to such a bad start and where we were able to come back. I thought it was an incredible test of character. Crystal really challenged our team with a gut-check in our timeout. She was pretty emotional about how to change the level of play.
games herself knows maybe picked pressure putting row starting
Megan maybe is putting too much pressure on herself in the starting position, because this is two games in a row that it's happened. She's picked up over-the-back calls, things she knows better (than to do).
bring crystal definitely forces games good nice people struggling team thinking win
She's thinking about it way too much. She's definitely struggling shooting. It's nice to win games without her. It forces people to bring their game up another level. That's a good thing, because when we get Crystal back, we'll be a better team because of it.
basketball bring crystal forces games good maybe nice people situation team thinking win
She's thinking about it way too much. It's nice to be able to win games without her, and it really forces people into a situation where they have to bring their game up another level. I think that's the good part, because when we get Crystal back, maybe we'll even be a better basketball team because of it.
ball game good
We thought we would be able to get the ball inside, and I thought Megan had another very good game for us.
body deciding game hope rather schedule ten
I hope that this game doesn't become the deciding factor. I hope that they'll look at our Big Ten schedule as a whole and our body of work, rather than just a one-game performance.
both conference fighting five game ncaa taken ten
It's a very important game for us. We're both fighting for the same thing. The NCAA has taken five from the Big Ten Conference for as long as I can remember.
basketball feeling good summer team
This summer I was feeling really good about what kind of basketball team that we could create,
last leaving mouth ncaa sour taste year
We think we've done enough to get into the NCAA Tournament, but we don't want to take anything for granted. Last year put a sour taste in my mouth about leaving anything to chance.
basketball fun incredibly watch
We're going to be an incredibly young basketball team, but sometimes that's fun, too. Sometimes they don't know what they're in for, so it's kind of fun to watch them go through that.
basketball incredibly starting
Even if they're not in the starting lineup, they're going to play so much time. So we're going to be an incredibly young basketball team.
excited four freshmen next precedent
What a way for them to go out. I'm also excited for our freshmen because I want them to set this as a precedent for how it's going to be for them for the next four years.
couple fun next time
We could really have a fun time in the next couple years.
