25 Quotes by Mel Thomas

When we're playing well together we just want to keep getting the ball. You just keep feeding off it. We learned how well we can play, we just can't settle for anything less in the future.

We definitely know it's another chance. We lost the regular season, but coming out in the (Big East) tournament, we have another chance to show what we're made of.

We just have to play 20 minutes and follow it up with another 20 minutes in the second half.

We just take it personally. This girl is the leading scorer in the country and you don't want her to score. Everywhere she goes, that's all we were thinking: She's not getting the ball.

Brittany's presence is really important to us because she's another scoring option in the lane. Being able to kick it in to her and having people double is opening it up for all of us. Or if she can score, that's an option, too.

Early in the year she had a hard time knowing when to shoot and when to kick it out. As practice has gone on, I think she's realizing what she needs to do and where to see the openings when it's her shot. I have trust in her, but it's gotten a lot more since the beginning of the season. So I guess it's true that's she's building it up. It's not a conscious thing I think about, but I definitely feel I trust her more than the beginning of the season.

There will be times when we won?t score for 10 minutes and some teams may freak out because that?s not really happened to them before. Unfortunately -- or fortunately, I?m not really sure -- it?s happened to us, so we know how to react to it.

Coach was not happy with us. He told us we just need to flush this (game) down the toilet and forget about it.

It?s getting better every day. I?m just excited to go out and play again.
