behind forward glad looking monday playing
We're glad to get this one behind us. We're looking forward to playing on Monday night.
ball familiar focused playing rebound stay
We're very familiar with each other. We could be playing each other in another week. We just want to stay focused and try to keep doing what we've been doing but rebound the ball a little better.
came days game plan playing push row tempo three
Our game plan was to push the tempo as much as we could. I think playing three days in a row is really tough, but they came out with a lot of gas.
coach dreams great love player playing situation
I love playing over here. This is a great environment. This is what every coach and every player dreams of, to play in a situation like this.
passion playing special
I just think this is a real special group. They have a passion for playing, and not just playing but playing the way we play: up and down the court.
coach dreams exciting great hearts ladies playing team
I've got great kids, they're playing their hearts out for each other and for me. We're healthy, we're an exciting team, we've got great chemistry. This is the kind of team a coach dreams of because these young ladies are like my daughters.
coaching dream enjoy fun game playing respect
It's fun when we play each other because we have a lot of respect for each other, and we enjoy playing in that kind of environment. I've been coaching 31 years, and that's what you dream about - a game like that.
definitely deserve good great hopefully maybe playing road somewhere team work
They're about the only good team that's not (in our bracket). They definitely deserve to be a No. 1 seed, and maybe somewhere down the road we will get to play. But there's a lot of great teams. I just want us to keep playing the way we've been playing, and hopefully things work out where we'll be able to be in Boston.
ncaa playing shocked
I do think that they're in the NCAA (Tournament). I would be shocked if they are not, especially the way they are playing here at the end of the season.
basketball carolina good half playing second
The first half and the second half were very different. We weren't rebounding and weren't playing very good defense. Once we started playing Carolina basketball we were OK.
experience main players prove smiles success
When I was younger, I wanted to prove myself as a coach. But with the different things we have accomplished, now I don't have to prove myself as a coach. The main thing now is I just want my players to experience success and I want to see the smiles on their faces. I want them to have fun.
deal dealt foul talking
You have to deal with what's dealt to you. If we had made some foul shots, we wouldn't even be talking about (a loss).
couple steals
We got a couple of steals and we got a couple rebounds. That made the difference.
fast supposed
We're very organized. Really. (The players) know what they're supposed to do. They just do it at a fast pace.
