Keri Nichols Quotations

I wouldn't have done anything different. You can't fault our heart and desire.

It also wasn't one of our better shooting games.

That first game we had 26 turnovers and their defensive pressure caused a lot of problems.

We've talked all season about free-throw shooting. We talk about shooting with confidence.

We picked up our defensive intensity and got aggressive offensively. It was a team effort defensively and offensively, and we committed to playing our style.

We knew that we wanted to keep them from hitting easy lay ups on us. We decided that we would make them hit shots away from the basket to beat us and the girls did a great job of doing their jobs and sticking with the game plan.

They have a lot of pressure on them being freshmen and handling the ball as much as they do. They do a good job and their teammates have done a good job to show them what it takes to be good leaders.

In the first half, we came out tentative. It's one thing to talk about their type of pressure and different to experience it.
