We faced elimination, so we know what it feels like. Seattle doesn’t at this point, so it (the pressure) is going to be on them. They’re supposed to win.

Candice is a tremendous player and we’ll go as far as she’ll take us. We’ll ride her coattails as far as we can.

She’s capable of doing that. You don’t want her to touch it in that situation.

She’s taking care of the basketball. She’s knocking down threes. The only thing she could do is just be a little more vocal. And if we can get that out of her, we’ll probably be...

One more year. I’m going back to Houston.

It took her a year and a half to do it, although it could have been just one semester. It’s hard. She’s from Philadelphia. You’ve got different people and things pulling at you, but sometimes...

I’m treating it as an Olympic experience where for the most part we were going to beat teams, … I knew I’d be needed somewhere between the quarterfinals and gold medal. With this Houston team,...

We were rattled. A team like Rutgers, they play in spurts, and they didn’t have a large spurt. We certainly knew we had it in us to get back in the game if we stayed...

When you’re faced with this type of situation, it’s not going to be easy, … but it’s doable as long as there is time on the clock.

They played harder, they gave more effort for 40 minutes and they won. We just didn’t have it today. We had our moments, but we didn’t have it for 40 minutes.

You’d think you would go in and see the crying. They’re not like that; they’re very positive. I wasn’t anticipating that. I thought I was going to have to comfort people. But they let us...

Our players needed a wakeup call. They can’t know how good they can be until they beat a team of this caliber. We had to drive to the basket and we had to exploit their...

I think most of the players who have jumped from playing to coaching have their egos in check. You played the game at a high level and that brings instant respect, but what you do...

I told Candice our team is searching for a leader. We are searching for someone to listen to, searching for someone to ride her coattail. It had to be her.

The situation in Houston was refreshing,

We are not in the driver’s seat. And when you’re not in the driver’s seat, you got to play hungry every night. And that’s what we’re doing.

We made it dramatic. But that’s why Coach (Van) Chancellor and Coach (Bill) Laimbeer made the moves. They knew it wasn’t going to be easy. They had the foresight to look at who they were...

GW did have a run in them, and we expected that. We were up by eight, and then a minute and a half later, it was gone.

I play basketball because I love it. This was enjoyable, and I’m still motivated to get to the finals.

Until the trainers clear her, then I can only play the players that are ready to play.

We wanted to use our speed and really pressure the ball and get into the passing lanes. We didn’t want to give them any open looks. They can shoot the ball with the best of...

They can play in that type of game. Come Monday, the competition is going to be different. It’s going to take a little experience, and a little Olympic savvy to win. We shouldn’t have had...

Having grown up in the housing projects of North Philly, I understand the profound value of Olympic dreams.

They could have handled the trade differently, opened the lines of communication, especially with the amount of time and professionalism that I’ve given to that organization and to that city, … It’s a business, but...

For the people who know Sheryl, the people that she talks to, she has already confided in them. Now she is just being truthful and honest. It is a personal choice, but not a revelation...

I didn’t think we played well. Offensively, we rushed. We gave a lot away.

I expect that this level will be the most challenging for me, being on the other side of the whistle. I’m going to approach this challenge the same way that I did as a player,...

That’s what veterans do. At times like that, we don’t get rattled. We know we always have a shot at winning the basketball game. You just have to stay in it. With us, we’re an...

It would have been devastating. They made the trades to make themselves better, and I was getting a chance to play for a championship.

I saw [that statistic] in the notes and I put it down real quick when I saw it. The odds definitely weren’t in our favor. If a shot here or there fell for them, they...

It would bring tremendous publicity, revenue and a massive amount of people from all over the world to our beautiful city. It would also help the children of Philadelphia see that they too could become...

She’s gotten better in a lot of ways. The biggest thing with Lady was her conditioning. I told her she had to come back in better shape, and she did. It’s shown on the court....

There were too many instances in the game we weren’t ourselves. We didn’t have enough fight. We had too many lapses to complete.

I think this is really indicative of our team, the state of the team. [I’m] disappointed. I don’t know who this team is, I really don’t. But we’re going to find out real soon.

You can look in every direction and find a competition or an event going on. Even if you’re not involved in playing one of the sports being offered, you can find anything you want to...

She’s got my all-star vote, … I think you’ll see her in a bunch of these before her career is over. She’s quick. She’s tough. She has great vision. People might talk about her being...

We attacked, but we couldn’t get anything to fall.

This team is the most undisciplined team that we’ve had. They’re just really undisciplined. They’re not a team. This is the first team that’s not a team, so we’re going to get to the problem....

We have aspirations of becoming a contender for a national championship, but you have to take really small steps and winning the Atlantic 10 championship is one way of taking those steps. But you have...

If it was one-game elimination, youth would probably win, … But since it is a series, I like our chances because of our experience in big games games even bigger than the WNBA playoffs.

We’ve got the talent to win this game [tonight]. We don’t have to play a perfect game. We just have to come to play.
