basically dealt defensive good job stood
They did a good job on the defensive end, but most of it dealt with our offense. We just stood around and basically didn't do anything.
came cut
They were up nine. We cut into the lead, but they came back with two 3-pointers back-to-back. You can't let that happen.
capitalize coming dangerous everybody executing far mistakes point sluggish
They'll be able to capitalize on some of our mistakes as far as coming out sluggish or not executing the way we should. Everybody is dangerous at this point of the season.

It was her smile. It was the teacher she was, but also the person she was.

It was just time to pick it up.
opportunity win
It's just another opportunity to win a championship, something that doesn't come easy.

It wasn't what you'd expect. There wasn't a lot of yelling and stuff like that. It was mainly a lot of talking.

It's great to be the first team to win here. I think it was kind of an emotional thing for everybody who's a part of it from the coaches, the managers, the trainers. Everybody felt something.
against compete mastered men outside perform point until
Then, I would go outside and perform those drills, until I had not only mastered them but got to the point where I could compete against men. And men who were 20, 30 plus, not just teenagers.

This is another eye-opener for us, and I expect that our level of play will increase and it will pick up as we get into San Antonio.
defense energy
Our defense was tenacious. We had the energy which we didn't have at Connecticut. The defense initiated a lot of our offense.
inspirational looking needs work
I can't think of better inspiration. It's right there. You're looking at it this is what you work for. There's nothing else that needs to be said or heard.

The first 10 minutes was not our best, but then we began to lock in.

You want to go out on a high note. It's a great opportunity to play the best ever.
