Janine Tucker Quotations

One thing Maryland does very well is they kind of get in your head before you even step on the field. We've been able to fight that and minimize that as the years have gone by. They are a terrific team. If I'm talking about my team in the same breath as Maryland, I'm pretty happy.

This is going to motivate us. One thing that's good about my team is that when we lose, the girls take it personally. They want to make the adjustments and they don't want to blow it off by any stretch of the imagination.

The gap has been closing. I feel we got over a little bit of a hump with the win over Princeton. Our Maryland game is another hump to get over in many ways - psychologically, emotionally and for our program's sake.

Our defense didn't help her early on. We gave them space and room to fast break, which is what we want to take away. We ended up settling down ... but we kind of do that with Maryland. We get ourselves into a little bit of a hole and then we fight like mad and fight our way back, but we've got to learn how to not do that.
