double figures half knew playing second time
We knew it would take time for her to get back, but she was completely back by February. She is playing well and averaging in double figures in the second half of the season. She is a big part of this team.
leading whose year
This year she's had to do it all. She's had to be the leading scorer. She's had to be the leader. She's had to be the one whose out there all the time.
angela clark per rebounds
Two of their players, Angela Clark and Danielle Chambers, are averaging better than 10 rebounds per game.
game line
When Megan's at the line and we have any kind of lead, the game is over.
extremely last playing three
We're peaking. We're 3-0 in last three games, and we're playing extremely well.
guard guess prove tried
We tried to guard her. I guess she wanted to prove she should have been on the All-Rookie team.
doubling great guard hard straight tried using
She's such a great scorer. We tried using a box-and-one or doubling her on the wing. I don't think you can guard her straight up. She has so many moves, she's really hard to guard.
anyone blames finds help job keeps takes
She takes it all in stride. That's her job and she's very accountable. If we don't win, she finds a reason, what she could have done better to help us win. She never blames anyone else. She always keeps them upbeat.
finished killer lacking team
I was a little disappointed with the way we finished the game. We have become a team lacking a killer instinct.
difference everybody finally game hard lindsay run second time
Lindsay was the difference in the game. We finally got a little run going in the second half. We make it interesting every night. We just have a hard time scoring. Everybody is in the game with us. We struggle.
couple games good heading nice win
Our RPI was 34 heading into this game, which is really good. We have some good wins. I'd like to keep winning. It'd be nice to win a couple games and know we were in the (NCAA Tournament).
bad ball decisions killer second teams turned
I was disappointed in the way we finished. We turned the ball over way too much (19 times). We lacked the killer instinct. When you are up by 17, you should be able to put teams away. We made a lot of bad decisions in the second half.
best couple days practices took wednesday
We took a couple of days off this week, and Wednesday we had one of our best practices of the year.
finally good playing start
We're finally playing the way we can. You're always 0-0 when you start the tournament. For this team, that's a good thing.
