Candice Wiggins Quotations

Losing is painful. But when we lose, the next game we come out tougher.

We make that same play all the time. I was just a second too late and the pass was there. People have been doubling on that all season. It is what it is. I feel like I let the team down, but you're going to get bad calls.

It's a huge weekend. It's important to make a statement. We have a whole half to go, but we definitely want to make an impression.

It's all about going out and being as competitive as you can and wanting to win.

It's all about confidence. Shooting is a funny thing. It's all mental. Once I was patient and starting to play within the flow of the game, my shooting improved. Last year, with Kelley and Susan being such great shooters, whenever I shot, I felt rushed. I didn't think of myself as an option to shoot.

It's all about spacing and patience. Yesterday, we never really got into the flow. We had only seven assists and that just shows that we were focused on individual play.

She quickly got over that. I respect her game, too. She plays really hard.

There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.

I've been expecting it. I knew she could do it.

We played hard, but we didn't do the little things. I think we all know we can do better, and bring more and we need to work on that. The Pac-10 is important, but the NCAA tournament is our goal, our future and we are working toward that.
