changed guard
We couldn't guard her in the zone, then we put her in the box-and-one and I think it changed the momentum.
four great lucky minutes points record
We were lucky to win. LeSueur had a great game. Four points in 10 minutes has to be a record for us.
confidence happy lost saying work
We can't go around saying we're happy because we only lost by 11. We have a lot of things to work on, but this should give us some confidence going into the Big East.
beat confident everybody people ranked
We had a lot of people contribute, a lot of people play well. Everybody has to feel pretty confident that we can beat a ranked team.
ball bring moment skilled
You just don't see that often. You just couldn't take one away because the other one would bring the ball up. They're just skilled and smart. A lot of intangibles. I don't think they will be overwhelmed by the moment but it is a big moment.
best forgot supposed
We forgot who we were supposed to foul, and we fouled their best free-throw shooter.
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.
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.
boards crystal finding good job
Crystal did a good job on the boards and we did a good job of finding her.
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.
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.
