We are fortunate to come out of here with a win tonight. Billie McDowell had a great game for us and all of our players that came off the bench played a key role in our win.
begin dividends free george liked missed pay played respect road win
I have a lot of respect for George Washington. We played well tonight, but had more turnovers than we would have liked and missed really important free throws. This was a very important non-conference win for us that will pay dividends down the road and as we begin ACC play on Monday.
help quite shots took
I think, quite honestly, she probably took shots too soon, too quick. She just wanted to help so much.
fare game half
We have to have that in a game like this. There was no way we could fare well having one half of our offense.
balls box defensive focus game great hands helped main playing save stretch
That was the main thing I wanted them to focus on was not to letup on the defensive end. Play great defense, box out and they got their hands on some balls down the stretch playing great defense. That really helped save the game for us.
great hard playing tough
I think Cristy is doing a great job. They're really playing hard for her. They're a really tough team.
ball confidence deep extremely felt fighting five game great happened hole level lose point rose shot start team
We know it's important with a team like that, and other really great teams, to start the game out strong, not to start to lose it in the first five minutes, which I felt happened to us today. From that point their confidence level really rose and they really shot the ball extremely well. We just got in a deep hole and then we were just fighting for our life.
best confidence team
I still think this is Duke's best team that they've had. They've got a lot of pieces. They play with a lot of confidence. That's one of the factors. I just think we didn't play with the same kind of confidence tonight.
against caliber deep fighting fights-and-fighting overcome team
We just got in a deep hole, and then we're just fighting for our lives. We couldn't overcome that. I don't think we can overcome that against any team of that caliber when that happens.
hands maryland player soon talented teams
There's not a player for Maryland who's not a threat. We had our hands full. They one of the most talented teams in the country, and we'll see soon if they may be the very best.
cause felt good pressure
We wanted to put the same kind of pressure on them that they put on us. We felt if we really penetrated strongly, and did a good job, that it would cause fouls on their part.
again chance florida played state
When we played at Florida State we didn't play as aggressively as we should have. Now we have a chance again to see what we can do.
badly deep fighting hole knew tired
We knew we were tired, but not that tired to play that badly in the first half. We got into a deep hole and then we were just fighting for our lives.
