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.

What a great preparatory environment for postseason play. We're going to get all the energy and passion and emotion from an Elite Eight game that sends you to the Final Four or the atmosphere of a Final Four. It will be absolutely alive in there.

We probably set the game back about 15 years with our turnovers.
ability frame game physical potential prototype talk
There isn't a physical prototype that preceded (Courtney). You have to look at the men's game and talk about comparisons to Shaq, how his frame and his ability transcended the game as we know it. She has the potential to have that kind of impact.

courtney dominance freshman reflected selection small sure
I've never had a freshman like Courtney Paris, and I'm not sure there's ever been a freshman like Courtney Paris. I think her dominance was well reflected in that small little selection show that we had.

Early in the half we did a good job of holding them off. We did enough on defense to keep them from scoring.

The thing that's truly been remarkable is that there hasn't been a swoon. She's been consistent with her scoring, consistent with her rebounding, she's taken care of the basketball, and she's played at her best when the lights are the brightest.
