forward good looking moving ncaa stepped team
It was a heartbreaker. I thought we had a good look (on Neely's shot). I thought my team stepped up, and I am looking forward to moving on into the NCAA tournament.
fact hold played second state took
I like the fact that they took hold of that second chance. We're not finished, though. Clemson played N.C. State really tough.
chemistry early ethic finish four gel minds order proud question solid strong takes team top whether worth
I'm proud of this team who, I think, early in the season, had every right to question whether or not we could finish in the top four of the conference. They set their minds to it, even as a young team, and said 'we're going to do what it takes in order to gel into a team that has strong chemistry and a team that has a solid worth ethic and a team that defends. And boy, they did that tonight.
best conference extra great kept maryland offensive ourselves pride second
The best thing about them is they didn't let us go to the offensive boards. We've been first or second in the conference the whole year. We don't pride ourselves on being a great shooting. We pride ourselves in getting extra possessions, and I thought Maryland kept us from those extra possessions.
both deep elements players score shoot
Not only can she penetrate and score around the basket, but she can shoot the deep three. There are not a lot of players out there who have both elements like that. We've really got to find her (tonight).
against defensive florida intensity looks saw since sustain team time
Against Lipscomb, we were able to sustain our defensive intensity and show some different looks which I thought was really important for our preparation for a much-improved Florida team since the time we saw them last.
games growth impressed last seems stretch team toughness
I'm just really impressed with the growth of our team ... The toughness that seems to be developing. The last two games down the stretch is when we've been our best.
leave legacy none
Individually, none of them could have done it. But collectively they've been fabulous. They want to leave a legacy and that's what makes them special.
athletic defend handle match team
I like the way that we match up with them. We're a very athletic team as well. We can defend and we can handle pressure.
choice committed stars step strengths team tried
They haven't tried to step out and be stars on their own. They've committed to complementing one another with their strengths and their weaknesses. Even Hannah, who made a choice to say, 'I want to give to this team in other ways, and I can't do it physically.' That selflessness, I think, has been prevalent through this group.
growth seniors
Those seniors characterize the growth of our program.
allow anytime defensive expect felt happened loss percent shoot teams tonight
This was a disappointing loss for us. I felt like we were not who we are on the defensive end of the floor. We don't give up 76 points. We don't allow teams to shoot 52 percent and that's what happened tonight and anytime we allow that to happen, we can expect to get beat.
folks step time
We had some folks step up for us who weren't necessarily big for us all year. That's what you've got to have this time of year.
boston college coming conference fifth finish game hold lock sixth team time top work
Boston College coming in is just the kind of game you just want to play. You have a Top 20-ranked team coming to your place and it's their first time ever in Tallahassee. There the team that will probably finish fifth or sixth in the conference and we just really want to lock in and go to work with that. We're not going to hold anything back, we're going to go after it and try to get this game with everything we've got.
