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).
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.
felt played selfish shown
It's the same issues. It's not that I didn't know we had posts that haven't shown up. This is bad. I felt we played selfish basketball. I thought we did not play very smart. Our rebounding was very lax; we did not play as if we had a purpose.
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.
game gap kick nice sharing trying understood
We would get in the gap and then kick it out 15 feet, and that's nice because you're sharing the ball. But what we were trying to do was put the game away earlier, so we understood how you do put a game away.
couple deserved home overlooked point
We did not play. I don't know if we overlooked them, (but) there's no point in complaining about it. We deserved to lose. We should be going home and we will be going home in a couple of hours.
came knows rivalry team win
Every team we play is a rivalry in a sense, because you try to win every game. That's what it's all about. Who knows who came up with this rivalry?
finally missed nice possession win
Every possession was crucial. Every point, every missed cut. It was that kind of a game. It's nice to finally win here.
blood choke game goes grab neck period pressure relaxing start teams time until
Every game we have a period of time when we slack. We grab teams by the neck and choke them until they can't breathe. Then we start relaxing and my blood pressure goes up.
chickens cut excited far figured necks running settle settled wondered
We were excited at the beginning, like chickens running around with their necks cut off. I figured we would settle in. I just wondered how far down we'd go before we settled down.
talent
We just want to get more talent and more depth.
count
We all count on her to do the incredible.
everybody function game maybe next second turn
I don't know what to say. Maybe the next game we do the same thing. Maybe we'll turn it on in the second half. Everybody has to function at the same time.
anyone arrive best decided four spread talent teams thinking trying
I don't know what anyone was thinking about when they decided to do this. I thought we were trying to spread the talent so the four best teams could arrive at the one spot.
