everybody ncaa proved
We didn't want to be back in the NIT, and I think we proved to everybody that we should have been in the NCAA tournament.
america best continues double jessica obviously plan players prove
Jessica Davenport just continues to prove why she is one of the best players in America. Our plan was to try and double her, and it obviously didn't work.
america best continues difficult jessica players post prove remarkable six
Jessica Davenport continues to prove why she is one of the best players in America. That was a remarkable game. When you have six assists as a post to go with 34 points, that's amazing. She made it very, very difficult for us.
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.
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.
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.
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.
