Cherlanda Franklin Quotations

Before we were playing defense, but it wasn't good defense. We're playing together as a team.

It's hard to get wins on other courts. We have to shut out the adversity and act like it's our home court.

It just took a while for us to get it. Playing as a team, that's it. Knowing when to get to the help side, knowing how to help out, knowing what to do.

That shows how we are actually becoming a better defensive team.

You forget about the losses, not the wins, but it's going to carry us over to the next game. All that enthusiasm, it's going to pump us up. We did it before, we can do it again.

Going against a good team we can actually show what we can do. Show how good we are. We're actually playing good so people are excited. Now people are like, we won, we know we can do it.

We came out nonchalant. Everybody was down. There's no reason for it. We came off a four-game winning streak. We should be excited. There was times we were playing our game and times we would just be there on the court.

Little things like boxing out, not turning the ball over, ball fakes, pump fakes, things to try to get them off their feet. We have to play with composure. Our major concentration is boxing out, big time, because they all jump out of the gym. They're just very, very athletic, so that's our major concern.

We used to go into games not to lose, instead of playing to win. Now, we're like, let's beat this team.
