Tara VanDerveer Good Quotations

If that's true, it affects everyone, and we just have to play better defense and rebound better. It's a good thing we've been beating that horse all season long, because it will put more pressure on our rebounding.

When you have a big-time player like Candice Wiggins, you just can roll the ball out there and something good will happen. I love coaching Candice. There's not another player in the country I want on this team ahead of her.

We weren't sloppy. We played well down the stretch. We needed a stop or two that we didn't get. I thought we gave a good effort. Basically, the statistics were the same except for one.

I'm happy we were successful and I felt like we got great contributions from different people. We rebounded well and we played good defense, but we need to do a better job offensively.

Candice hit some big shots in the second half and we got it going. We rushed a little bit in the first half but we settled down and that gave us some good momentum into the tournament.
