best champion contain difference handle help holding knows national offensive relieve size somebody understand until
She is a veteran. She is a national champion so she knows how to handle things like that. I do understand sometimes size makes a difference and we need to help her. For a long time, she is down there holding her own until somebody can get down there and relieve her in a sense. But if Barb is down there, she is going to do her best to contain the offensive player.
national
She has two national championships under her belt. She has to be like that.
bring far few fit given good laugh lead positive
On the court, as far as the preseason workouts, they've given it everything they have. They're very positive and they all lead by example. When things get hard, they're right there with us. Off the court, they all have good personalities. They all bring something different. We have a few that we laugh at and a few that we laugh with. They fit right in with us.
advantage call hero open seeing spots taking
I wouldn't even call myself the hero the first half. It's just seeing the open spots and taking advantage of that.
carry chances fact load simple team win
We had chances where we could win the game, but it's just a simple fact that I didn't come to play. The team had to carry their load and mine. It just wasn't fair.
struggle
When I do well, I don't think of me or I. Sometimes we'll struggle a little offensively, but I'll do what I can. We'll get it right.
mentally minute teams
You have to be mentally strong. Mentally tough. ... The minute you think about being tired, being sore, that's when teams take it to you.
lose next particular regular season team
We know that right now it's one and done. It's not like the regular season where (if) you lose to one particular team and just say, 'It's OK. We'll get them next time.' There is no next time.
deeds definite good lack
Ugly, it was. I think we let our good deeds get away from us and we weren't focused. There was a definite lack of concentration.
doctor energy player running tough unless
With Ann, she has so much energy running through her veins, you would never know she's hurt. That's the kind of player she is. Unless our doctor says, 'You can't play,' Ann will play. She's a tough kid.
anytime face happens hearts satisfied team
Anytime you face a team like that, you have to be excited. We have to play our hearts out to be satisfied about what happens at the end at the buzzer.

This is Connecticut basketball. After suffering the embarrassment of the North Carolina game, it came to a point where we felt like we needed to win. You get tired of leaving the gym crying because you wished you played harder. We came together and won.
absolutely darn everybody excited
I'm not going to say there's absolutely no pain, but I can play. Now it's just like going out and being sore. Everybody else is sore. You have to play with pain. So that's how I look at it. Let's just say I feel pretty darn good. I'm excited to see what (today) brings.
carry chance fact rest simple team win
I'm disappointed in myself. We had a chance to win the game, but the simple fact that I didn't come to play and the rest of the team had to carry the load, it just wasn't fair.
