Muffet McGraw Quotations

We're finally playing the way we can. You're always 0-0 when you start the tournament. For this team, that's a good thing.

She's such a great scorer. We tried using a box-and-one or doubling her on the wing. I don't think you can guard her straight up. She has so many moves, she's really hard to guard.

She takes it all in stride. That's her job and she's very accountable. If we don't win, she finds a reason, what she could have done better to help us win. She never blames anyone else. She always keeps them upbeat.

We took a couple of days off this week, and Wednesday we had one of our best practices of the year.

I was disappointed in the way we finished. We turned the ball over way too much (19 times). We lacked the killer instinct. When you are up by 17, you should be able to put teams away. We made a lot of bad decisions in the second half.

I was a little disappointed with the way we finished the game. We have become a team lacking a killer instinct.

Our RPI was 34 heading into this game, which is really good. We have some good wins. I'd like to keep winning. It'd be nice to win a couple games and know we were in the (NCAA Tournament).

Lindsay was the difference in the game. We finally got a little run going in the second half. We make it interesting every night. We just have a hard time scoring. Everybody is in the game with us. We struggle.

You just don't see that often. You just couldn't take one away because the other one would bring the ball up. They're just skilled and smart. A lot of intangibles. I don't think they will be overwhelmed by the moment but it is a big moment.

We couldn't guard her in the zone, then we put her in the box-and-one and I think it changed the momentum.

We were lucky to win. LeSueur had a great game. Four points in 10 minutes has to be a record for us.

We had a lot of people contribute, a lot of people play well. Everybody has to feel pretty confident that we can beat a ranked team.

We can't go around saying we're happy because we only lost by 11. We have a lot of things to work on, but this should give us some confidence going into the Big East.

We forgot who we were supposed to foul, and we fouled their best free-throw shooter.

We've both gone through some dry spells, so I don't think we'd ever look at a team like that and think of them any less with the season we've had. They're a veteran, experienced team that will be ready.

We knew it would take time for her to get back, but she was completely back by February. She is playing well and averaging in double figures in the second half of the season. She is a big part of this team.

This year she's had to do it all. She's had to be the leading scorer. She's had to be the leader. She's had to be the one whose out there all the time.

Two of their players, Angela Clark and Danielle Chambers, are averaging better than 10 rebounds per game.

When Megan's at the line and we have any kind of lead, the game is over.

We're peaking. We're 3-0 in last three games, and we're playing extremely well.

We tried to guard her. I guess she wanted to prove she should have been on the All-Rookie team.

Crystal did a good job on the boards and we did a good job of finding her.

They're still a very, very fundamentally sound, great defensive team. They're very well coached. They run good offense. They do a lot of good things. I think it's the same team they've had over the years, just great competitors and very, very intense.

It's good that we held them to 62 points when they are averaging 83. The crowd was a big part of our comeback.

I learned a lesson the South Florida game when that happened. I didn't call a timeout, and I should have.

I don't really want to think about it. I really don't. I cringe when I think about next year without her.

I didn't see what happened, the official said she shoved someone.

Hopefully the home crowd will help us. We're going to need a lot of help on Saturday.
