Charli Turner Good Quotations

I thought that was a real highlight that we did a good job of establishing an inside game.

I think we had a lot of confidence coming out at halftime that we had saved our best for the second half. We were playing good defense and we knew what we needed to do.

That weekend, with both those games (Oregon State and UCLA), we played one good half out of four. Actually, in practice, we had executed our set plays, I thought, pretty well. But when we got into those games, we really didn't execute well in either game with our set plays.

We feel pretty good right now. We are back to winning the way that we were before the skid. We are back on our upswing, and we feel it.

They don't have good depth. If any of their key players get in foul trouble, that's going to be a problem for them.

They're better every which way. They're just a lot more consistent and a lot more confident. They're always a good team, you just see that level of confidence that last year, maybe, without any seniors, wasn't always there.

I've had agents tell me how good of a player Kristen is, so it's disappointing. But now she's just weighing her options. She's figuring out what she wants to do.

They did a good job of pressuring us and we were hesitant. We weren't as aggressive as we usually play. I was always confident that we would settle down. It's an awesome experience to go through that and be able to win. We stay poised and that's one more thing we can take with us the rest of the postseason.

I'm excited for this weekend . . . to see how we'll grow from this, and to see how good we can be under these circumstances. I know this team and its character. I think we can prevent this from happening again. I really do.

The Mercury really do know how good of a player Kristen is and that's why they've invited her to their camp.
