basketball feeling good summer team
This summer I was feeling really good about what kind of basketball team that we could create,
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.
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.
basketball good
She is going to be a very, very good basketball player.
certainty good hand kitchen last months recipe spending whip women
Like any good cook, you go back in the kitchen and you revamp your recipe and you take what you have on hand and you still make up something pretty good. And I think after spending the last two months with the women on our team, I think that with certainty we can whip up something pretty good.
experience good learning nice stick
Lindsey can stick the 3. If the 3-pointer is open, she's going to put it down. She's going to have a very good learning experience this year, but it's nice to have that other 3-point dimension.
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.
felt good job offense taking
I really felt like our offense never flowed very well. They did a good job of taking us out of our offense.
free good line stepped teams thankful throws year
I'm just thankful for the free-throw line because we stepped up and made the free throws. Good teams make their free throws and we're getting to the free-throw line so much more this year than we have in the past.
biggest both experience freshman good leap leaps players proved sophomore true
All of those players have had good experience, and I've always thought that probably the biggest leap in your development comes between your freshman and sophomore years, for most individuals. I think Stacy and Abby have both proved that to be true this year. They've both made very, very good leaps for us.
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.
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.
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.
