courtney leadership learning open role team wants willing works
There's nothing about Courtney that's typical. She works hard, has been willing to take on a leadership role as a freshman, is open to learning new things every day and wants to make her team better.
battle both early improved mexico played quite teams
We played really early in the season, so I think both teams will look a lot better. We have improved a whole lot, and I know New Mexico has as well. It's going to be quite a battle out there.
best might team
This might have been our best team effort.
defensive fake forces looks pass sent teams
They sent a lot of defensive looks at her. In the first half, she panicked. We just told her to be patient, to pass or fake and go in to score. That forces other teams to make decisions.
behind clearly finished gave grief guys kinds saying second separated team
I think that Baylor is clearly and you guys gave me all kinds of grief for saying this during Big 12 play but clearly they are the second-best team in the league. They finished in second place and they separated themselves, is my point, from the guys that where behind them.
good obviously team time
I think we are still getting better. Sometimes at this time of year, it's obviously about how good you are, but it's also about how you are together. And I don't know if I've been around a team that's any better together.
best players teams
I think that the best teams don't always just have the best players, but the players who play the best together.
game proud realize team throw unity win
I'm so proud of our kids. I thought they competed well and showed team unity throughout. I realize we set the game back 15 years with our turnovers. You throw it to them 32 times and win - we must have done something right.
celebrate euphoria games granted played proud single special taking team
I'm really proud of this team and what we've accomplished. Securing a Big 12 championship with games yet to be played is a pretty special accomplishment and we're not taking it for granted for one single second. We're just not going to celebrate it with all the euphoria yet, because there's so much out there still that we can do.
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.
