Sue Semrau Played Quotations

Our team played really well at Miami. I keep talking about how much better we're getting and I think a lot of that is just developing confidence and the consistency we have on the defensive end of the floor. We're beginning now to not only defend like we can, but also rebound the basketball extremely well and because of those two things, we're coming up with some easy transition buckets on the other end.

I thought Christie played with great tempo tonight. She had four offensive boards in the first half. She played like a dominant post player.

We gave the team the Clemson scouting report tonight. Obviously we'll be somewhat familiar since we've played them before but that was a long time ago. I really trust my team to study that and be prepared for Saturday where we'll have a very light practice but we'll be going through Clemson's sets and get mentally prepared and try to take care of their bodies before we play a 3:00 game on Sunday.

Alicia has really come into her own now in this part of the season. She played great for us in Italy and that was when she was with people she was very familiar with. With our new players, she had to get familiar and you can see now that familiarity is coming in and she's really stepped up her game. She's a special player.

I like the fact that they took hold of that second chance. We're not finished, though. Clemson played N.C. State really tough.

It's really going to be about getting to know each other. Initially, it has to be off the court. The way that our team was so successful last year was that they played hard for each other. We want to create that dynamic where you know and care about one another off the court.
