against game matter question shots win
The win that we had against them (Feb. 7) really didn't matter much. One game for us isn't going to say, 'Hey, we're the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite. There's no question about that.
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.
coming game grateful headache rather team tennessee took week
I'm so grateful to get that game over. I think the team would rather play Duke, Connecticut and Tennessee all back-to-back or in one week than Villanova. I took 600 milligrams of Motrin before the game and the headache is still coming through.
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.
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.
apart bad carries fast game good matter nobody seems slow stop taking
She seems to see the game slow down, no matter how fast she's moving. She's very good at taking the game apart and not taking bad shots. And when she's going to make things happen, she carries that 'ain't nobody going to stop me' attitude.
friends-or-friendship game personal relates strengths weaknesses worried
She and I are personal friends, but as it relates to the game itself, she can see like I can see. She can tell what our strengths and weaknesses are just like I can with them, but I'm not necessarily worried about that. We just have to go out and play.
change defense difference extend game
She really did change the game because we were not able to get a '55' defense. I thought the difference was her being able to extend the defense at full-court level.
came game nice somebody test
I feel much better, and I thought this was a real test. This was the first real test where somebody came that was legitimate, not going to back down, and demonstrated that they play the same game all the time. So, it was nice to see that.
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.
games nice seen
It was nice to see them play free. It was one of the better games I've seen in a long time.
ask best east game last played situation teams
The two best teams in the Big East are Connecticut and Rutgers. What better situation could you want than to have this game played and be the last one? I don't think you could ask for anything better than that.
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.
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.
