Rhonda Rompola was the head women's basketball coach at Southern Methodist University. She coached the Mustangs basketball program from 1991 until 2016... (wikipedia)
She came in here more mature than most freshman. She was always on time. That's the thing I remember the most. If she said she would call at 2 p.m., then she would call at 2 p.m.
One of the things I told the team was we have to protect our home floor. Beating Rice and Houston, two of the best teams in the conference, was important for our confidence. We're starting to jell at the right time.
We can help ourselves by winning out and getting one of the top four spots. That bye would be good for us, because it's very difficult to play four consecutive nights.
We're playing well at home and getting a different set of players contributing every game. We're pretty scrappy at home, and when we get that crowd going, it helps us.
Our RPI has to get higher for any tournament play.
That was a very frustrating moment. Unfortunately, the official didn't hear me and I didn't want Cobb taking it, but she did have a decent look.
We couldn't get a stop. We could never get that lead. Our defense let us down and we just couldn't get over the hump.
We had to win two more games, but you can't get caught looking ahead. We've won a couple of games lately, but we haven't been sharp. Everything is off a little bit.
We had our chances. We led in both overtimes, but it was so long ago.
Our slow start in the first half hurt us. We dug ourselves a hole against a very, very good team.
I didn't think it was good. But all three referees made the same call.
