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.
basketball enamored fantastic happen perhaps points terms turn
It is perhaps a new turn for our game, but I've never been enamored with it. In terms of the game, you just get two points for it. I'm not discounting the dunk. It's just that there are so many other fantastic things that can happen on a basketball court.
days lack point poise practice surprised three wins
After 30 days of practice and three wins now, it was not something I expected. I was very surprised there was a lack of poise from particularly my point guards.
iowa kept minutes played points state
Iowa State played fantastic. When we were up by 10 points (with 6 1/2 minutes to play), Iowa State could have said 'we're done,' but they kept fighting.
beat everybody fine matter point
I'm fine with it. It does not really matter to me. You have to beat everybody at some point anyway.
blow easier good looks score
We got some good looks and converted. Sometimes that's easier said than done, and we were able to blow the score up.
along bad course freshmen happen kid kids million night regardless seen
I've never seen an 18-year-old kid do it night in and night out regardless of the circumstance, regardless of the venue. Kids get sick, they have tests, they have distractions, they have a bad night. There are a million things that happen to freshmen along the course of the season.
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.
defense early good half holding job
Early in the half we did a good job of holding them off. We did enough on defense to keep them from scoring.
tough
Brooke made some tough, tough shots. That 14-of-16 did not come easy.
best care consistent lights played remarkable taken truly
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.
chance given grief heard minutes number occasions rest trust
Courtney, we were able to play her 24, 25, 26 minutes on a number of occasions in Big 12 play. So we get a chance to rest her ... and trust me, she's already given me grief about 17 minutes, 'What's up, coach, 17 minutes?' I already heard that.
amazing easy games good straight
There's nothing easy about being good, and to be good for 16 straight games is a pretty amazing thing.
