Anne Donovan Good Quotations

She's so good at dealing with pain. This is somebody you don't have to say 'suck it up' to.

I think internally we're all feeling really good about it. To know that we accomplished the same record as last year with the experience we had, it says a whole lot about those 11 players.

Parker obviously had a marvelous tournament, and we got good contributions from the other ones as well. We're in good shape; you add our veteran players with our younger players, and we'll field a good team in September that will really compete hard.

It feels good (clinching a playoff spot). But there are still two more home games left and we would like to have homecourt advantage with that second seed (in the Western Conference).

You had two MVPs on the court. Between Sheryl at one end and Lauren at the other end, it was fun to watch. And Swoopes, anytime you send two people to guard her as soon as she catches the ball, that tells you how good she was playing.

The second half, we came out and cut it to 10, and felt real good about the momentum. The crowd was in it, with just two minutes off the clock and already we had done that damage.

You want momentum. It is our last home game of the regular season, and we're expecting a good crowd.

I think all I can do is to continue to talk about it, and I'm not male bashing. Good men deserve opportunities, but good women also deserve opportunities, and they can have success given the right situation.
