Aya Traoré (born July 27, 1983) is a Senegalese female basketball forward and in 2011 captain of Senegalese women's national basketball team.[1][2][3] (wikipedia)
She's a good player. She can go to the basket and shoot the 3-pointer, so we just wanted to limit her touches and that's what I tried to do today.
She knows the responsibility she has as a point guard.
(It helps me by) staying in shape. (It also helps me by) not being winded (during the drills).
We've been doing some warm-up drills. We've also been doing some one-on-one drills.
It's something that I think that if I work hard, I would be able to get.
I have been here for three years and if I compare things from the first year I met (Webb) to this year, she has grown and matured so much as an individual.
Not that I hated to play defense but maybe I didn't know exactly what they wanted.
That was tough losing, but we know that the (NCAA) tournament is the start of a brand new season and it's one and done from here on out. We're playing teams that we don't know and haven't played so far, so we have to stay focused this week.
I just tried to limit her touches. I wanted to use my length and try to bother her a little bit. I think that had some effect on her. I don't think she's used to that.
It was our last game here and we can't ever come back and play a game in Mackey, so we wanted to do something special to finish up with a win. We were lucky enough that the first and second rounds were played here and we got a chance to stay at home.
