anybody beat games night tough
There are tough games night in and night out, and anybody can beat anybody. It's everything I thought it would be.
bad beat depends good hope ladies loss points proud teams
It depends on what they look at. This is the only bad loss we've had. Other teams get beat by 35 or 40 points and still get in. We beat some good teams on the road. I hope these young ladies get the opportunity. I'm very proud of this team.
beat double game limit touches triple
We have to limit her touches and let everyone else beat us. We have to take her out of the game with double and triple teams.
ball beat fear good heck job role
Merrill is just one of those workhorses - she does everything. She's a role player, but sometimes that's what you fear the most. When she got the ball down low, she beat us one on one. She did a good job on defense. She did a heck of a job.
beat teams
There are other teams that get beat by 35 and 40, and they still get into the tournament, so it's really not up to me. It's up to the committee.
bit caused minnesota problems
We flustered them a little bit and then it just builds. That's usually what Minnesota does to us. They've caused us a lot of problems before, and they still did cause us problems. But I think we flustered them a little bit more.
coming everybody focus game knew presents step taking trying
We knew coming in here that the focus would be on trying to take Davenport out of the game and taking Packer out of the game. That presents opportunities for everybody else to step up and that's what happened.

Nikki has been in a lull for awhile. I'm glad to see she's stepping up and doing the things that she does well.
