Geno Auriemma Quotations

We're quite unpredictable. I think the kids understand that. We go five possessions where we look really good, and then we go five where the kids on the bench go, 'What was that?' We're still getting there. We're not there yet.

I thought that we executed our game plan pretty well for about 30-some minutes. This was as much of a complete game as we've had in a long, long time and I'm really happy for our guys.

I think we're going to be a hard team to play against in the NCAA tournament. We play good defense. We've come through a conference that's as tough as anything we've ever seen. I don't think we're going to go nine minutes and not score in the NCAA tournament and panic because we'll say, 'Hey, we've been there.' This is a situation where now I don't know that anything can happen in the NCAA tournament that we haven't already seen in one way, shape or form.

I think we know pretty well after this trip that we?re pretty good. We?re not as good as you want to be yet, but we?re pretty good.

I think we have a reputation of being a really good NCAA tournament team. There does seem to be a little more of an edge to our game, a little more of a focus. I don't think we get up tight. I see teams that get very, very tentative and tense at tournament time and I don't see us being like that generally. I think our approach as a coaching staff is pretty laid back. We want to reward our kids for a great season.

She wasn't that thrilled to play. When I took her out, I had no intention of putting her back in. But all that went out the window in the second half.

She's very, very good under pressure. She doesn't get bothered by anything. That's why she's kind of hard for me to coach because when I talk to her, she don't listen because she's not affected by anything. I knew she was going to make the free throws.

She's very good under pressure. She's not bothered by it. I knew she was going to make those free throws.

She?s sneaky and she caught those guys a couple times. She?s not easy to guard, and I thought those guys did a pretty good job of making her work hard for everything.

She's one of those impact players that makes them when we need them. I can't think of anybody we'd rather have shooting the ball.
