besides capable crystal great letting needed scoring seen somebody ten threat
We've needed somebody else to be a scoring threat on the perimeter, besides Crystal (Smith) and Kristi (Smith). We've seen glimpses of what Wendy's capable of doing all through the year. It makes us feel great that she's now letting the Big Ten see it.
addition basketball eye felt great iowa secure sign thrilled time tremendous watched
She has been a great addition to our basketball team. We were thrilled when we were able to sign Kristi Smith. We watched her play for a long time and we had our eye on her a long time. We felt she was going to be a tremendous player. So we were thrilled when we were able so secure her as an Iowa Hawkeye. We kind of felt like we stole her.
fast great ran
Megan has great hands, great footwork for a freshman. The other day in practice, she got out and ran the fast break,
best build came continued experience great outcome possible
I can't even think, if it continued that way, what would have happened. It wouldn't have been very pretty. On the other hand, having the experience like this, with the comeback, can build great confidence. Do you want it to happen? No, you never want to be down 17-2. But, the best possible outcome came out of this.
box defense difficult great hurt job learn penn state zone
Penn State did a great job defensively, which made it difficult for us to get into our offense. Their zone really hurt us. We need to learn to play better defense and box out.
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.
fun name relive seemed wish
It was a long wait. It seemed like forever. I wish we could relive it again., though, I wish we could see our name and relive it again, because that was a fun moment.
couple fun next time
We could really have a fun time in the next couple years.
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.
That (12) years is a lot of precedent.
defensive floor half home intensity points scores second somebody
That was the difference. Our defensive intensity was there in the first half and non-existent in the second half. They just about scored at will. When somebody comes into your home floor and scores 48 points (in the second half), that's an embarrassment.
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.
last resume top
I think like last year, it's a 50-50 chance. I think we have a better resume than last year, because we have two Top 25 wins.
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.
