Regina Miller Quotations

We knew they would stretch our defense. We wanted to take some chances on Marsh inside and she certainly made some plays. But I'd rather give up a 2 contested over a 3. That's a little less.

She could be like a little John Stockton or Steve Nash in our league. You need that one player who can help make other players better.

Sherry has come on since her injury. The last couple of games she has started to play more like herself again.

New Mexico is an outstanding program. . . . For our program, it was a great win today because, as I said, they worked all year to get to the point that they're at.

Obviously, it was pretty emotional for everyone. She didn't remember much. But when I walked into the hospital, she did remember my face.

I think the leader for them is really Thorburn. She doesn't shoot it a lot, but she runs the team.

I thought Sherry established herself right away. And that's exactly what we wanted her to do.

I think we allowed Air Force to build some momentum in the second half. In order for us to be successful against a team like New Mexico, we have to play for 40 minutes and keep the level up.

That's what I hoped for. It was nice to see it, particularly on their court.

We hope Sequoia can continue to develop. She is becoming a better student of the game, but her outside shooting has to improve and she must be more consistent.

We were hopeful because the word out was there was a possibility of taking five teams from our league. But, honestly, I told the team we probably had a 10 to 20 percent chance.

We didn't play well enough to beat this team. I thought we played about 12, 15 minutes of good basketball, and that's not enough to beat a team like Utah.

We came close with this group a couple years ago. We're just happy to continue to play.

We missed a lot of chippers. Yes, there was contact sometimes, but you've got to finish, and we didn't do that.

We expect Brittney Thomas to hit the 3-point shot; she is a good shooter. She provided us with a spark off the bench and defensive intensity.

It would have been nice to take chance out of the equation. But I hope our two New Mexico wins will give us some consideration with the committee.

Programs have to rebuild. That's just the bottom line, and that's where we're at now.

Smith is tough for a lot of people. She is outstanding offensively because she never stops moving, and she goes for every rebound. She is difficult to defend.

Certainly, you don't want it to be one and done. We're in a position where we need to win three games.

I do believe the NCAA will take three teams from our league and a potential bubble team.
