goes instead kid needs shots
Any kid that goes 12-for-12 needs to have 20 shots instead of 12.
against entire floor game jazz last needed offense seven shut took
After last game, we needed to get Jazz more into our offense today. She was 12-for-12 from the floor last game and this one she only took seven shots. But our entire offense couldn't do anything against Rutgers. They shut us down.
everybody handled jazz others step though
Jazz has handled it well even though everybody focuses on her. We need others to step up and score.
certainly flat great last shot stepped time virginia west
Last time we played, they just flat out stepped up and shot the basketball. But without Meg, West Virginia certainly is a different team. She is a great all-around player. But they still have talent.
fell fired knew lose prey team temple watched
Out of the shoot, we fell prey to a team that was fired up. When I watched them lose to Temple the other night, I knew we were in trouble.
advance final last maybe ncaa next sweet talent tournament year
We've been to the NCAA Tournament the last two years, but we've been one and done. I really think next year, with the talent we have, we could advance to the Sweet 16 and maybe all the way to the Final Four. It could be a real breakthrough year for us.
kids scoreboard sorry stopped
I really think our kids stopped believing, and that's really frustrating for me. When they get down by 15 points, we look at the scoreboard and feel sorry for ourselves.
ball blow five game great hole incredible knowing ready run shoot
They just set an incredible pace, and want to blow you out in the first five minutes. If you?re not ready to run back in transition, you?re not ready for them to shoot the ball early, and they?re hot, you can find yourself in a hole really, really fast. I think you have to go in there knowing that they have a great home-court advantage, and I think you have to go in there knowing that the game is going to be intense.
against game hope played recovered
I hope we recovered out of our three-game skid. I thought we bounced back and played pretty well against Marquette. It was an important game for us.
attention build disappoint hard hope kids media national program time whether won work worked
You work so hard to try and build this program up and the kids have worked so hard, you want to play well, you want the national media to see you play well whether you won or you lost. At the same time you know you're getting all this attention and you just hope you play well enough that you don't disappoint people.
great opportunity
This is a great opportunity for us. We want to see if we can play with them. We want to see if we've improved.
