clearly deal deserved great hard heart played team virginia west worked
I thought West Virginia really deserved this win. I think their team clearly wanted it more. They worked hard from the beginning. I think they played with a great deal of heart and determination.
basketball extra played selfish
I thought we sputtered and I thought we did not make the extra pass. We played selfish basketball today, and I thought we played not smart.
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.
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 appreciate bent bit claimed competition envelope hoped jewel loves people push shape terms thinking
A lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the east. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the east. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.
alaska earlier joke regards regional sent
They have been a joke with regards to the selection. I didn't say that earlier because I thought I'd get sent to Alaska and they don't have a regional there.
felt good great special
They are really just special young ladies. They're daughters. They're great daughters. It felt good today. It felt good to see them smile.
roles west wrong
There were so many things that were wrong (against West Virginia). We just have to re-define our roles a little, do what we have to do and how we can do it.
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.
attacking executing extra pass smooth transition
Offensively we were not making the extra pass and not getting a nice, smooth transition look. We were not attacking or executing our patterns. It wasn't Villanova. It's just the way we play.
highest
They're tournament-tested and play at the highest level. They're ready.
essence seemed
I thought Essence had a lot more points. She seemed more active.
decided
I think we've decided that that is who we are. And that's who we need to be.
deal deserved fought great heart overlooked played point
I think (West Virginia) played with a great deal of heart and determination. They were small, but they fought hard. I don't know if we overlooked them, but there is no point complaining about it. We deserved to lose.
