Renee Montgomery Quotations

There was nothing positive going on in the first half. It was a lot of nothing. We weren't playing as a team. Everyone was trying to take it upon themselves to get us going, but it wasn't working.

I think the game went well. We all played together so well.

It's ignorant to me because when you're up that much you should never let a team come back. I felt like this would be the perfect time to just step on their throats and go up by 20-something and that didn't happen.

I was watching her shot fly through the air and was like, 'Please fall off,' and it just kept going. And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, please don't.' And then it hit and I just started screaming and running. I blanked out after that.

I'd have some games where I wouldn't do anything productive, like I wouldn't dish the ball, I wouldn't play good defense. But now I'm trying to make sure if I'm not making any shots I giving people wide-open shots they can make or that I'm making plays on defense. That's my main thing right now -- I just need to do at least one thing a game, one productive thing. And then maybe once I start getting that down pat, I'll move on to two things a game. That's my main focus.

I think the happiest thing that we came across was that it was the exact same situation but we handled it differently. It shows that we grew up and changed and I think that was the best feeling.

I've been saying from the beginning that I don't want to be the reason we lose because that would be a terrible feeling. I just tried to put myself in a situation where I could help the team and not hurt the team.

That?s the thing about now, I don?t care how we win, as long as we win.

That's the main thing that we need to be able to do. Once something isn't going your way, that's when you need to band together and turn it around.

That's what I don't like. I would rather have another game in two, three days just to play well and to get some momentum going. I think that sitting around and thinking about a loss is the worst.
