break needed playing
I think we needed that. We were just playing with them the whole game, we had to break away at some point.
creates good whenever
Whenever we play good defense, it creates our offense.
couple great matter past shooting worried
I think shooters just go up and down. (Strother) hasn't been shooting well the past couple of games, but she'll come out of it. It's just a matter of time. It's Ann. She's a great shooter; I'm not worried about her at all.
ball brings came carries challenges coach gets played plays pushes team took
I think coach always challenges you when you're not doing well and I think she just took the challenge and came out and played really well. When Renee plays well it just carries our whole team, and especially when she gets after it defensively and she pushes the ball it just brings our team to a whole other level.
cd coach everybody glue keeps listens sure
I think CD is like the glue that keeps it all together. She?s the one that makes sure everybody listens and does everything right. She keeps coach in check, she?s the one that keeps everything organized. She?s like our mom. Without her, I think we would be lost.
expected guarantee
I guarantee no one expected them to come this far.
feeding learned less playing settle together
When we're playing well together we just want to keep getting the ball. You just keep feeding off it. We learned how well we can play, we just can't settle for anything less in the future.
excited
It?s getting better every day. I?m just excited to go out and play again.
came confidence found good helps knowing needed open ready
I just came out ready to shoot. I just found myself open a lot and I just came in knowing that I needed to contribute. It was nice. My confidence hasn't been down or anything, but it's always good to have good nights. It helps a lot.
cincinnati love
I love it when they can come. They're all Cincinnati fans, so it's pretty interesting.
game struggle taking team
Taking her out of her game makes their team struggle a lot more.
excited initial longer notice took
It took a little longer than I thought it would to see initial results. But now it's getting better every day and I can notice the difference. I'm just excited to go out there and play again.
came definitely played
They came out and played really hard. They definitely outworked us on the boards.
learn might shows tried
That's one thing I've tried to learn from her. She might get frustrated, but she never shows it.
