contact player
Dionne's kind of a tepid player who doesn't really go for that contact right away. But once you get her mad, she'll make you pay.
early sure
We have to make sure that we don't get intimidated early on because they like to play really physical.
against basketball best energy focus loss playing regular toward
We have to let this loss go and focus on playing our best basketball to end the regular season. I want all their energy channeled toward playing their best against BYU on Saturday. It's the least we can do for all seniors.
best game seen
That was the best game I've ever seen her play.
create defense defensive good great hard screens work
That was a great defensive effort, because Wyoming is a very good team. They set so many screens and work really hard to create good shots. For a while there, our defense was really, really good.
beat bit conference expect people says
That's awesome. It says a lot about our conference when people expect us to beat each other up a little bit and don't penalize us for it.
calm difficult errors hyper julie loves tendency trying
Julie just loves basketball, and I'm trying to get her to calm her down. She has a tendency to get a little hyper and when she does that she makes some errors in her decisions. When she's relaxed, she's difficult to defend.
add anytime depth gives glad
I'm so glad to have her back. She gives us a lot of energy. Anytime you add depth to the team, it's an advantage.
excellent last night replicate
We have had some inconsistency. But I do feel this is an excellent team. When they're good, they're very, very good. Last night I thought they were very, very good, and I think they can replicate that.
execute fought hard
We just didn't execute on offense. We had an opportunity, and we fought really hard for that opportunity, but we didn't do enough.
ball shoot shooting showing team
We've got to shoot the ball better. We're a better shooting team than we're showing right now. We're being impatient.
knew nobody states top united
We had one of the top recruits in the United States and nobody even knew she was here.
air beat extra games good rest rhythm team time unless whether worry
I can't say whether the rest is good for us unless we beat Air Force. I like to have the team in a rhythm with two games a week. With the extra time off, you worry about them being game-ready.
fully held injury last recovered restricted
I don't think she was fully recovered last year. She was very tentative, and that restricted her play more than anything else. The injury really held her back and didn't let her play her game.
