I think fans will see a little different style of play, because we'll be deeper. We'll be able to pick up people a little more in the full-court. Last year, we had a lot of games where we played very well the first half, and the second half we just ran out of gas.

It's especially rewarding coming from a player you didn't recruit. It's an indirect compliment to our staff. Linda has a natural feel for the game. She has a great demeanor with kids. She's going to be a great coach.

We didn't buckle down when we needed to get over the hump late in the game.
