Monique is playing with a great deal of confidence. She's shooting the ball extremely well, getting to the free throw line, playing aggressive and rebounding the ball. I don't see a weakness in her game.
We were on defense, and I heard 'Defense' so loud, it was like a home game. I can't believe they're yelling 'Defense,' so obviously they feel the way I do about the weakness of our team right now.
Losing strengthens you. It reveals your weaknesses so you can fix them
Know your strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
The greatest strength any human being an have is to recognize his or her own weaknesses. When you identify your weaknesses, you can begin to remedy them - or at least figure out how to work around them.
No one feels strong when she examines her own weakness. But in facing weakness, you learn how much there is in you, and you find real strength.
We weren't good in any aspect of our game tonight.
We were pleased we are able to get the tempo up at times. You have to control the paint and we did that.
We wish them success in all of their future endeavors.
I've talked to her about our team. (I talked to her) when I wasn't really happy with them and she's talked to me about her team and we probably figured we'd see each other in the end.
I've watched her build this team and this program over the last three years and I think she's done a remarkable job. She had her team ready.
It was very apparent that Duke wanted this game and they went after it in a much more aggressive, determined way than we did. Quite a difference in how their defense affected what we did offensively and what we did to them. They pretty much ran what they wanted to run. They handled traps. Defensively, they disrupted us and we did not disrupt them.

And we talked Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday ... we talk all the time. But did we talk about playing each other? No, because we had a different agenda.
