Joanne Boyle Best Quotations

We're banged up about as much as we can be and they don't complain. They rallied for our last night here at Haas (Pavilion) in the regular season and the chance to go to the (NCAA) Tournament. They put everything out there. This is probably one of our best wins of the year.

I think how those kids have reacted to that is the best lesson. It's tournament time and they've got to step it up. When the ball is in the air, they've got to bring everything they can bring and they can't wait five minutes to settle in. I think us going through it, seeing it and understanding it is very valuable.

I want them to be excited about being there, but not satisfied. It's like what (athletic director) Sandy Barbour told them, 'Go in there and participate. Just compete.' We will prepare them the best we can.
