37 Quotes by Kim Gervasoni

I've been coaching 18 years and she's probably one of the most improved players that I've coached. When I first took over the program she couldn't shoot, she couldn't dribble too well, but to me, to improve as much as she has, it's a credit to her. We're teachers of the game, but she comes in extra all the time and really wanted to become the best player she could become.

San Jose is a very talented team and we have to shoot the ball better. Part of that is a credit to their defense too, they made us rush shots. We have to be a little bit smarter on offense, play a little bit stronger. And they played us pretty physical. We need to handle that better, play with more composure. They're game plan was great against us last week. We need to be more prepared.

Della has been a huge presence for us on the defensive end. She's done a great job on the opposing team's point guard and has had some big scoring games.

Anything you need her to do, she'll do. Even on the court at practice, in drills. We got permission for that from the medical staff. She can be on the court as long as her heart rate doesn't get up there. She likes getting out there and blocking everyone's shots.

Back when we were recruiting her we knew she would be an impact player. She kind of does it all for us. She's leading the team in steals. She's been pretty consistent for us all year.

They're a great team and they're very well-coached. They're great, but not cocky. They go out there and leave it all on the floor. ... They're a classy organization. I respect them a lot, and we'll have to play a great basketball game to beat them.

It's a huge win. I wanted to see how we responded after that (loss). I'm just really proud of them for their effort tonight. I thought we played a pretty complete game.

I told them in the locker room, 'Every game in the WAC will be tough.' Hopefully they'll be ready and respond. (Hawaii) will be fired up, but so will we.

It's one of the biggest wins in my three years. We're definitely peaking at the end.
