Katie Meier Quotations

When we have the ball with 10 seconds left and playing at home, you have to win the game. That was our opportunity.

She would really get on her teammates to win that drill, and after that, her and Renee would have a conversation on whose team won. That was one of my earliest recollections of Tamara. I just loved that about her.

Shay's the one who killed us. She did such a nice job moving around on the court. You look at her shot chart, and she was just scoring from all different spots on the floor. That was hard for us to handle.

She is so stubborn -- in a way that is the highest compliment I can give a player. She wasn't going to let anyone take this game from her because she wanted it that much.

Basically, Georgia Tech had more energy than us. And I do think that we also missed some shots that we normally hit. And it was the players that I would want taking them.

I felt like in the first half we had quit. I was really upset with my team at halftime.

I will be very surprised if we're not represented in the Final Four. I think one or two teams could get through -- even three. Who knows? I think they'll be very seasoned.

Please don't give me the credit. You've got to start with Tamara James. I just want to make sure she gets the recognition she deserves. It's quite amazing what she's done.

That was the kid that we didn't want to beat us, and she still beat us. So I think that's important to tip your hat to her.

We picked a bad time to have one of our worst execution performances of the year.

This was a really big win because it answered questions in terms of are we for real. I could see the intensity of our players in the first 30 seconds of the game and I knew that we were going to play well.

It was really tough. We had some turnovers, I think, because of it. That really hurt us in the end.

I told her that if we're going to be a team that really wins, we've got to get the other players involved. She absolutely agreed with it, and asked what she needed to do. She's been the most supportive of the new system.

They were very disruptive to our offensive sets. I think we had some shots we could've hit, but they were very physical with Tamara.

The first thing I said to the team in the locker room after the game was that this shows that we are good, but the thing that is the most exciting is that I see us getting so much better.
