events everybody happened looking pinpoint step taking
Everybody is taking a step back and looking at the events that happened during the year. I don't think you can pinpoint it on one thing. It was many different things that kind of happened at once.
fault full hope personal responsibility taking
I'm taking personal responsibility for what's going on but not full responsibility. It's never one person's fault 100 percent. You never hope it comes down to this. We do have to find out how we can do things better.
game hit hoping instead penn players prepare state steps taking took
We had mix-ups on who we were guarding sometimes, and we had players getting hit by screens. That's not us. We went into this game hoping to prepare for Penn State (on Sunday). Instead of taking two steps forward, we took a step back.
gave good indiana last played time twice
Indiana gave us a good fight. They're twice as good as the last time we played them.
chosen issues leave
Each one of these individuals have different issues on why they have chosen to leave this program.
arm bit fell player twisted
Nothing was broken. Her arm got twisted a little bit when a player fell on her hand.
bench consistent floor jamie offensive player sitting threat
It's huge. We can't have Jamie sitting on the bench for very long. She is a consistent offensive player and threat on the floor and, obviously, one of our go-to players.
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.
display percent shoot
This was a very disappointing display of basketball. When you shoot 31 percent and have 20 turnovers, you're not going to win, especially in March.
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.
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.
