QUEENS, N.Y. - Boston University Post-Game Quotes
Dec. 1, 2007
Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico
Opening statement:
"BU's really a solid team. They have a great program and we had a real tough time last year so we knew it was going to be a challenge for us coming in. I thought we really focused each week on our turnovers and rebounding and we did a nice job in both areas in the game.
On keeping composure when losing the lead:
"I think that it's part of experience. We weren't able to do that before and this year that's happened to us a couple times and we've been able to keep our composure and regroup. We also have depth and if someone is really struggling we can take them out and give them a few minutes rest. Monique had a few turnovers earlier in the second half, so we took her out for a couple minutes, regrouped, put someone else in and then she did a better job towards the end.
On Coco Hart:
"Her rebounding was really impressive. The other thing that she created was the number of fouls. She really helped put them in foul trouble because she went after the ball and they fouled her. She drew three fouls from two different players by halftime. She didn't make her free throws but it opened up so many more opportunities for our team."
Senior guard Kia Wright
On transitioning back to regular form:
"I feel like my old self a little bit. I have more time to get better. In another week or so, I'll feel like I'll be back to my old playing form."
On adjusting from starting to coming off the bench:
"It's tough but it's just what I have to deal with right now because I've been out for so long. I'm working towards getting back in the starting lineup, it's just going to take some time and I understand that.
Freshman guard Sky Lindsay
On being comfortable with the college game:
"It's still very new to me. Each game I'm getting more and more comfortable especially with the home games where all of my family and friends are here supporting me."
