Pam Borton Team Quotations

We had great effort and played with great passion, but it just wasn't enough tonight. The tougher team won tonight.

This time of the year, nothing replaces experience. It's what we have to go on. It can't be one or two players who will put the team on their backs.

We've talked about it to the players. The guards will have to run the team in some situations. The kids will have to call plays.

Right now, Washington is the best team in the country to us.

When Jamie is playing up to her capabilities, she can be one of the best players in the country. We had other players on our team giving us the effort we needed.

When we're on the road against a top-10 team, teams are going to go on runs and you've got to be able to sustain the runs and we did not in the second half.

It shows her role on this team is not just to score points for us. If she doesn't have 33 or 25, we're still going to win games. She makes big plays on both ends of the floor for us.

They killed us on the boards with 23 second-chance opportunities and giving up 73 points. Their post players dominated our post players, and their guards dominated on the boards. We got beat by a team that was a lot more aggressive than we were.

Our team defense has gotten a lot better. We've got to keep our aggression up a little longer and play a little smarter and a little more disciplined.

That's not why we lost the game. We lost because the other team was more aggressive than us and we didn't take care of the boards. You can't win in the NCAA tournament when you don't rebound and give up points like we did.
