game line
When Megan's at the line and we have any kind of lead, the game is over.
crowd good held points
It's good that we held them to 62 points when they are averaging 83. The crowd was a big part of our comeback.
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.
both dry gone less season team
We've both gone through some dry spells, so I don't think we'd ever look at a team like that and think of them any less with the season we've had. They're a veteran, experienced team that will be ready.
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).
defensive good great run team
They're still a very, very fundamentally sound, great defensive team. They're very well coached. They run good offense. They do a lot of good things. I think it's the same team they've had over the years, just great competitors and very, very intense.
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.
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.
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.
cringe next year
I don't really want to think about it. I really don't. I cringe when I think about next year without her.
official
I didn't see what happened, the official said she shoved someone.
crowd help home hopefully
Hopefully the home crowd will help us. We're going to need a lot of help on Saturday.
call florida game learned lesson south
I learned a lesson the South Florida game when that happened. I didn't call a timeout, and I should have.
extremely last playing three
We're peaking. We're 3-0 in last three games, and we're playing extremely well.
