complete efforts practice putting understanding
She's putting all of her efforts right now in academics. Everything is into academics. She won't practice with us right now for a little while because everything is academic-oriented. She has a complete understanding of that and we want her back on the court.
states surrounded
Why not? We're surrounded (by states that have them).
basketball disrupt good switching
We didn't get out to the shooters. We were switching things around and we did some things to disrupt them, but they're just a good basketball team.
anyone enter great hard plays rise shape ten
She's banged up and she'll be the first to tell you, but she plays her butt off every game. She plays as hard as anyone out there....She's in great shape and as we enter the Big Ten tournament, that's going to be important because she may have to play every game, every minute. She'll rise up to the challenge.
game neck
She's doing everything she can, certainly, to get ready. That's her neck of the woods. ... That's a big game for her. We feel pretty optimistic.
ask heart playing
She is playing her heart out. I can't ask any more of her.
best clock needed selection shot time
We didn't use the (shot) clock real well. Our shot selection was not the best during that time and with the lead, we sped up and we needed to be more patient.
best great player post program
I think she's the best post player in the country. She's a program maker. She's a great player. I can't say enough about her.
ball confidence cut half mentally needs physical regain turn
I think right now (it's) mentally draining. You cut into things and turn the ball over in the first half and have to regain some confidence and a mental edge. ... I think our physical conditioning is fine. Right now, our mental conditioning needs to improve.
believer learn
I'm such a big believer that to be the best, you play the best. Why not learn from the best, too? In my mind, Bo is the best.
close far game indicative season
Our season is very indicative of this game -- so close yet so far away.
expect
I think you have to expect some of those things when you play on the road.
care
I feel like they're my brothers, I really do. And I'm their little sister. And we kind of take care of each other.
close line
Going 7-of-15 from the free-throw line isn't going to get it done. We couldn't close the door.
