felt fired four front game happen looked lose smarter
I'm 28 years old. I'm going to go here and I could lose every game and get fired in four years. But I'll be 32 and I'll still have a lot in front of me and I'll be a smarter person for it. That's kind of how I looked at it. Worst-case scenario, what could happen is I could fail, but I still felt like I'd come out on top.
came games people proud sort three
I am so proud of Cara because she came in with so many expectations on her. She really had some frustrating games where she had two or three people on her. ... She couldn't get any sort of room.

On the floor, we've had a lot of close games so far and he has said, 'You know you (girls) have got to understand you need to take care of this (offensively).' He's such a good person to have (on our side).
bit came close extremely five game half kept last minutes proud sophia talented team tempo
I was really proud of the way our team came out and competed. We kept it close in the first half and set the tempo of the game defensively. Sophia Young is an extremely talented player, and we let her take off a little bit during the last five minutes of the first half.
anyone carry compete executing full game good gym highest job minutes next plan thinking tonight walked
I told them that they did a really good job of executing our game plan for about 20 minutes. We have to carry that through for a full 40 minutes next time. I don't think anyone walked out of the gym tonight without thinking that we can compete at the highest level.
anybody game line
If there is anybody I want at the line at the end of the game it's Alex.

I just want to start by saying that I've never been so proud of a group of young women as I was in the last four months. They have been through so much and really just kept fighting back. I'm so honored and proud to have the opportunity to coach these young women, and I'm looking forward to the future of Army basketball.

The biggest thing has been balanced scoring. We've had a number of kids who didn't look to score as much last year and have gotten them more involved.

I'm getting goose bumps right now talking about it.

I'm so proud and impressed and really happy for how his career has played out. That has a lot to do with how he carries himself and how he deals with people. It's not just this year, obviously this year is great, but I'm just so proud of his whole career.
knew last seen since surprise though
That's Candace. I've seen her do that since she was 15, 16 years old. I knew it was going to come one of these days, and so it doesn't surprise me. I don't think we'll be the last though ? in this tournament.
arenas country everybody feeling noise
I've been in a lot of arenas around the country and there is nothing like a cadet crowd. It's not just the noise and how they get into the game. It's the camaraderie and the feeling that everybody is in this together. It's a family.
girls shame winning
There won't be any shame in us not winning this game. At the same time, our girls have a lot of pride. They want to keep playing.
This isn't something that's going to go away.
