ahead best days game gets guard playing plays post speed
She plays at post for them but she has the speed of a guard and she's playing with a lot of confidence. I think Danielle gets better and better every game and I think her best days are ahead of her.
capability felt jamie playing
I felt like we didn't have Jamie the whole game. Jamie didn't play up to her capability offensively or defensively. I thought she was playing scared, and I thought she was playing a little tentative out there.
best effort giving jamie players playing team
When Jamie is playing up to her capabilities, she can be one of the best players in the country. We had other players on our team giving us the effort we needed.
jamie job playing scared
I thought she was playing scared and tentative. Jamie wasn't getting the job done.
felt hurting jamie job offense playing
Jamie was hurting us. I felt like we didn't have her for the whole game. She was not playing up to her capabilities on offense and defense. She wasn't getting the job done.
effort energy hard people second work
We just wanted to show 12,000 people what we were all about. That's hard work and second effort and just a lot of energy out there.
consistent might players
We might have to shorten our bench. Some players have been more consistent lately.
best future lauren luck wish
We wish Lauren and Brittney the best of luck in their future endeavors.
dug five hole knew offensive ourselves six time tough turn win
Five of our first six possessions were turnovers. We dug ourselves a hole very, very quickly. It was 10-0 before you knew it. But any time you turn it over 24 times and give up 18 offensive rebounds, it's going to be tough to win on another team's floor.
best country team washington
Right now, Washington is the best team in the country to us.
ball michigan plays pressure ready style
Purdue plays the same style as Michigan State. They pressure the ball all over. We'll have to be ready for that.
bothered crystal great hand job last player shoot year
Bolden did a great job on Crystal last year at our place. She went 2 for 14, and I think that was a difference. Shannon is a really intelligent player just with her length, (Smith) had to shoot over a 5-11 player with her hand up, I think that bothered her a little bit.
consistency kindness lack ongoing point rather
At this point of the season, you would rather not have to make these kind of moves. But as a coach, you find yourself making adjustments all year. Our lack of consistency has been an ongoing thing all year.
bench figure percent production
You got to go with what has been working and I think right now, if you figure out the percentages, we were getting 50 percent of our production from our bench and 50 percent from our starters.
