Don Flanagan Quotations

We have to be a tougher road team to win this conference. I'm really happy we hung in and beat Air Force. That was a great game, and our experience really carried us to a win, but we have to find a way not to dig a hole for ourselves.

We have to be able to play the full game. We have to get over being a one-half team. I was really disappointed with our effort at halftime.

Dionne's kind of a tepid player who doesn't really go for that contact right away. But once you get her mad, she'll make you pay.

I think it's highly unlikely she'll play. We don't want to rush her back and risk aggravating the injury.

The players have surprised me, too. Defeating Texas was surprising, seeing all their talent, and we played so well. We've hung in there and showed heart. That's made me happy.

It's their Senior Night, and their players have been through a whole lot. We know it's going to be an emotional game for them. This is one of those times where our players have to be tough, match their intensity and prove they want it more.

Julie just loves basketball, and I'm trying to get her to calm her down. She has a tendency to get a little hyper and when she does that she makes some errors in her decisions. When she's relaxed, she's difficult to defend.

Normally we just beat up on each other and no one has a real sense of how good we are. This year, we went out and proved we could beat some bigger schools.

We have had some inconsistency. But I do feel this is an excellent team. When they're good, they're very, very good. Last night I thought they were very, very good, and I think they can replicate that.

That's probably the game right there - the offensive boards. And of course Katie's three-point shooting, which was outstanding.
