Without a doubt, she's changed the complexion of everything.
absence blow sideline tech texas
The absence of Marsha on the Texas Tech sideline is a blow to the university, it's a blow to our conference, and it's a blow to women's basketball.
dominant free gone good night shot similar single throws
Her play was similar to how it has gone all season. There was a lot of single coverage. She is such a dominant presence. She shot her free throws well today. Even the ones that she missed, she shot better. She had a pretty good night or lunch.
care gotta rise tough
I don't know what it is, and I don't really care what it is. It doesn't matter. It's gotta stop. You've got to be tough enough to rise up and make a play.
consistency display history looked point remarkable throughout
I don't know that any of us could have ever looked at any 18-year-old kid, at any point in the history of this game, and thought that they could display the consistency that she has displayed throughout this season. That, to me, is a remarkable thing.
graduation guard kid looking point
If we know we've got one graduating, we're looking for another one. It's like getting a point guard or a shooter. It's a kid with an edge. You have to have some of that.

She took the floor with poise and walked out and took care of business. Our bench has been the answer in conference play. Every single person contributes.
anyone bunch clear gets heavier herself inches missed pounds scores sees taller thinks
She sees herself in a very clear way, which is atypical for an 18-year-old girl. She sees herself for what she is and who she is. If she scores 31 points, she thinks she should have because she's 3 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than anyone guarding her. If she gets 20 rebounds, she thinks she should have because we missed a bunch of shots. She's very matter-of-fact about the whole thing.

She has been an incredible mentor to me. I feel like I have been given a gift in being able to coach against her.
ball free game kinds loose lose maybe rebound tough
Maybe you lose a game by a bucket, a free throw, a rebound or a loose ball there are all kinds of things working up to the loss. She just made a tough shot.
afraid aware job number people strength
You have to be at least aware of, if not afraid of, all the pieces. All year, our strength has been the number of people who can get the job done.
energy
We had to expend so much energy just to get back into the game, and we could never get over that hump.
forests light middle nutrients trees
Forests shouldn't exist. The trees in the middle of the forest don't get enough light or nutrients to survive.
allowed composure confidence together win
It's our poise, our composure and our confidence together that allowed us to win this one.
