bothers carry defense knew minutes top until
What bothers me most is that we knew our defense would carry us. One game, we'll play 40 minutes of defense, and 20 minutes in another, and in another. It's not a top priority. Until it's a top priority, who knows?
days defense focused next sure three
For three days, defense was what we focused on. I'm sure that's what we'll focus on for the next three days as well. We've got to get better defensively.
feeling feels games lost playing potential sick three tired
We've lost three games this season, but it feels like we've lost 15. I'm sick and tired of losing, sick and tired of feeling this way, sick and tired of not playing up to our potential and my potential.
ends experience ncaa senior throughout tournament worth
We could have the most difficult, roughest experience throughout my senior year. But if it all ends the way we want it to end ? in the very end with the NCAA Tournament ? it's all worth it.
came
We came out with a win. We're 12-0 right now.
credit definitely goal good great mine tail
It definitely wasn't a goal of mine when I set out to go play at Tennessee. It's just something that happened. I give all the credit to my teammates. They set up great screens, they are good passers, and I'm just working my tail off to get in position.
rattle speed
We were pressing in the first half. We never got into our offense. We let them speed us up, rattle us, and when we did get in our offense, we were still sped up.
best coach gain gonna proven respect start though
Even though we feel disrespected, even though we feel like this and that, it's all about proven things on the floor. Coach said it best when she said the only way we are gonna gain our respect back is to just start winning.
beyond great thrown true
Beyond being a great player, what impresses me most about Candace is how she handles everything, the distractions, everything thrown at her. She handles it all like a true professional and with so much class.
offense
We weren't able to get in our offense a lot of the time.
capable drove move running scoop stuff
She made an inside-out move from the 3-point line, drove in and made a little scoop shot. Running back down the court, I was laughing. I thought to myself, 'Wow, that was pretty athletic.' She's capable of doing that kind of stuff when she's on the floor, and that is exciting.
continue
We're going to continue to use that as motivation.
defensive great pressure trying
We were trying to make our defensive pressure so great to put pressure on them.

We tried not to come out flat because we were extremely hurt after the Duke game.
