ashley ball freshman guard lack quick replace threw tried
We tried to get a quick score. Ashley Powell thought she could take it all the way and she got a charge. Then we put the other freshman guard in (to replace Owens) and she threw the ball away. It was not from lack of effort, it was just lack of experience.
eight girls group lost prouder regroup row
We lost eight in a row after Meg went down and really couldn't find our identity. But right now I've never been prouder of a group of girls to really regroup and do the things they've done in this tournament.
came coming energy felt played
We felt coming in here that we had nothing to lose. We had a lot of energy and came out and played hard.
early team
Boy, this is too early for a team timeout.
aggressive bother earlier gave loose played tied tried unless year
We played them earlier in the year and we were tied at 20 by the half. We played that zone, but we gave up a lot of penetration. We can see that it did bother them, so we just tried to tighten it up and don't go out on their non-shooters. You can't do that unless you rebound. I thought that was the key. We were very aggressive getting some loose balls.
hold
We wanted to hold them under 50 and that is what we did. We rebounded with them, which I thought we had to do. We just did not make our shots.
executing good job lack
We just didn't do a good job of executing down the stretch, but it wasn't from lack of effort. It wasn't from we didn't try. It was just inexperience.
beating game girls group happy hard losing minute played taken
I am so happy for this group of girls because they have taken a beating from me during our losing streak. They have played hard every minute of every game in this tournament.
aggressive basketball beat breaks game miss needed pinch pray shoot top zone
I don't know what to say. We really wanted to pinch off their penetration. We thought our 2-3 zone was really going to make them shoot over the top of us and just pray they miss some of them. We were very aggressive going after the basketball and we got some breaks. And that's what we needed. We needed all the breaks in this game to beat Rutgers and we got 'em.
foul hit key playing shots team
My team didn't quit, after not playing well in the first half. We got key rebounds, hit foul shots and were able to finish.

Many ways of taking care of carbon dioxide are being studied, particularly carbon sequestration,
balls bit face games great hit league overlooked played playing thinking win won
Some balls bounced our way. Let's face it, Rutgers is a great team. They won 16 league games in a row. If we played them 10 times, they would win nine. I think they overlooked us a little bit thinking about playing Connecticut in the final. But Rutgers won't be in the final. I don't know if this all has hit me yet.
doubt great lose played sit
Let's make no doubt about it. If we played Rutgers 10 times, we probably would lose nine. I'm not going to sit here and say we're a great team. Everything just went our way.
ball easy felt hit impatient refused reverse shoot work
I felt at times we were too impatient at times offensively. We refused to reverse the ball and work for easy shots. They packed it in. They made us shoot from the perimeter and we just didn't hit them.
