kids kinds last people quickly second seconds understand until wait
Kids don't play every second like it's their life. Those kinds of people are probably the ones who think that in the last seconds we're going to come back, or wait until we do this or do that, but they don't understand how quickly it escapes.
continue hopefully ourselves prove suspect work
I suspect if we continue to work hard, we can continue to hopefully prove ourselves worthy.
dread game grateful question team
There is no question that Villanova is the team we most dread to play. I am so grateful to get that game over.
dread glad question team wear
There is no question that Villanova is the team that we most dread to play. I'm glad we were able to be victorious, because they really wear you out.
chance game greatest last line ourselves share
We want it by ourselves and I think the greatest test of them all is to play Connecticut at our place, last game on the line and they've got a chance to share it. It's going to be crucial.
accept learn life possibly
You learn in life that, you give everything that you possibly can. And when that's not enough, you learn to accept that.
certain felt ourselves
We hadn't demonstrated to ourselves that we could play at a certain level, so this was nice. This was a test. I felt much better (after this win).
bring care deal meet rather takes team
I would much rather meet them and deal with them now. That's the way I feel about it. The only thing it does for me is like, bring 'em on. I don't really care. And so if my team takes that same attitude, I don't care who we play and when we play.
bench easier maybe needed perspective seeing
We needed something dramatic. Maybe you have a different perspective when you're seeing it from the bench. It's kind of interesting how you can see things a whole lot easier from the bench than from when you're on the floor.
against encouraged fine forward game looking
We've been getting progressively better which is good. We haven't been consistent. We've been up and down, but I'm more encouraged than discouraged. It's been an up and down year. We had a real fine game against DePaul and I can tell you I am looking forward to this game.
chance happen start
We start off pretty fast, but now we've got to be able to maintain. It won't get a chance to get like that, because I will not let that happen again.
anybody break distribute handle improvement next result simply understanding wants year zones
Anybody can distribute the ball, but what she wants to do is know how to break zones and how you can handle things. I think she wants to go to the next step, understanding that you can't play the same way. I think her improvement is simply a result of a year of reflection.
fair game knew type upset
I know and it's so sick. It's so sad. And you know something? I knew I would get upset with a game like this. And you will see this type of game again. So let me give you fair warning.
beginning depth east eight elements elite far felt final flexible four level past pull reason season seriously throughout year
I really felt we had all the elements to seriously make a run. On the other hand, in years past we had far more depth and could have withstood more things. At the beginning of the year I felt we were flexible enough to pull this off, and throughout the Big East season there was no reason we shouldn't have been able to at least get back to the Elite Eight level and be a Final Four team.
