ball break chris coach floor focus good guards helps job moving noticed possession running single tried
Our guards did a good job of moving the ball up the floor in transition, and I just tried to focus on running the break every time. I noticed that helps us out a lot when we get out in transition. That?s when we?re at our best, so it?s just something that (assistant coach Chris Dailey) told me to focus on a lot, I tried to do it every single possession down the court.

Basically the same thing that coach told me all the time, tired is a state of mind. If you allow yourself to become tired, your mind becomes tired and you don't focus as much as you need to.

It?s going to be ugly sometimes. We?re not the Connecticut teams of old. Every shot is not going to fall, the ball is not going to move the way people want it to move.

I know as a freshman, I started to hit my peak going into the NCAA tournament and it gave me a great amount of confidence going into it. Hopefully she can keep this momentum. We're really going to need her down there on Monday to have her composure like she's been having these last few games.
biggest bit carry defensive half lost moments rebounds second shot stretch time
I think we lost focus. I think that's the biggest thing.

I think we let those moments carry over a little bit too long, especially in the second half after that 18-point lead.
best biggest learned ncaa ourselves position shots tournament win yourselves
I think we learned that when it comes down to it, if we can make big shots offensively we?re going to put ourselves in a position to win because we?re going to get things done defensively.

combine confidence gave opportunity people picked played position questioned relaxed
I think a lot of people questioned what position I would play in this league. With some reason, they should have. But considering the way I played in the combine and how much I showed those guys, I was comfortable and relaxed at the perimeter position. I think that gave them some confidence to give me the opportunity to get picked in the first round.
