“It comes down to a lack of focus and discipline. Like coach stresses time and time again, we have the elements. It's just a matter of us collectively putting it together. I mean, it can't come from her, it's just a mindset that we have to have. It comes from us. There's no more that she can give us.”
“Everybody came back to their senses (in the second half) and we started making smart plays on the offensive end. But they were able to attack (early) and get the momentum. The intensity level for them was very high and they're going to surprise some people.”
“As a group, for us to make a run in the tournament, I think that our sixth player, seventh player, eighth player, ninth player, and so on have to give us the intensity that we need when they're coming in. They have to go and focus. When you're a reserve player you have to continue what the starters do. If they started out great, then you have to make it even better.”
“I know Connecticut is definitely going to come stronger because they're going to be at home. We just have to continue to focus and know that to win we have to play great defense. That's what we do and we just have to do it well. We're going to be away, and we just have to focus that much harder.”
“It's big to come and win here for the first time in history. It's definitely a monkey off our backs, but they still have to come to our place and then in the Big East tournament, so it's not over.”
