Theresa Grentz Quotations

Maggie had that twinkle in her eye today. Maggie was everywhere. She does such a great job running our offense, that if others just knock down shots, she's going to get big assist numbers. Both Maggie and Janelle, the two seniors in our back court, have stepped up their play this year.

She's very, very talented. Jim has them work everything around her. On defense, they sort of float, again around her.

She was wide open. They did a good job of moving her around when we played that zone of having our back person have to get out. We just didn't get to her. I thought we had the zone pretty well worked out. You've got to give them credit for the adjustments they made.

I believe that I have one somewhere. I don't know which one it is, but I'm going to push them to find out. She doesn't even know it, but she'll come and things will be comfortable.

(My staff) is right. They say, 'They don't know what you're talking about,' I think they are right. They don't know what I'm talking about. They don't have a feel for it.

We had nine unforced turnovers. They were long lanky and quick to the ball.

We played one today where we had to keep pulling and getting after it. You have to give Northwestern a whole lot of credit. They didn't fold, they kept coming back and they kept making shots, but we were able to pull it out in the end.

We were in the game. We were doing what we needed to do, we were paying attention to the scouting report.

We got one on Sunday and we gotta get after it.

We paid attention to the scout in the second half.

We were doing what we had to do coming out of the blocks. We're right there, then 'Hey, this is nice. This is great playing before 11,000 people.

We cannot afford to make mistakes and we weren't able to box out in critical situations.

We were playing well and then panicked. I think we looked up at the scoreboard, saw that we were ahead and got scared. We were playing tight and that is why we turned the ball over so much.

We did a good job with the inside-outside game in the first half to get some open looks from the perimeter. Lori knocked down her first shot from about 22-feet and that got her going. From there, everyone else just fed off her confidence.

The zone caused us problems. We didn't attack and every time the ball was thrown inside, we got tied up.

I wanted a change, and they end up playing the same amount of minutes.

Somewhere along the line you've got to believe that you're here to win this stupid game and win it. This team has played some very, very good basketball and it's going to continue to play good basketball. I just wish for them that it would just happen.

Any night we make 11 3s, I look like a genius.

There's a lot of basketball left for us to play and as far as I'm concerned we can do this. I need to get this team motivated. It's my job to teach them how they need to get things done.

That is the best game I've seen her play in three years, and I'm happy about that.

They have the talent. They need the direction on where it's going and that's my job to give them that direction. There's a lot of basketball to play and I want them to understand that.

I'm not angry, and I'm not mad, but I am intense. (The players) have been instructed to do things a certain way, and they have not fulfilled their part of the bargain.

This is a great opportunity for them. I'm going to take them kicking, screaming or whatever and just take them. I'm going to put my arms around them one way or the other, whether it's from the front or behind them because I think they can do this, and that they are going to.

This is a great group of kids, I know we can do this. I believe.

The game was pretty ugly when we started out. I didn't know if we were ever going to get to 10 points.

When you have Jessica Davenport in the middle, with some very, very good shooters around her and a good point guard, they have the pieces

Playing basketball with my teammates was a gift! We cant play any more but we live the memories each day!
