14 Quotes by Nancy Winstel

She's been kind of the heir apparent, I think, ever since she got here freshman year.

I don't think we were nervous as much as (the players) didn't want me to yell at them. Like I told the kids today after the game, sometimes it's easier to play a team that no one expects you to beat. (Missouri-St. Louis) had everything to gain and nothing to lose. Their kids played so hard and were well-coached.

Katie Butler is having a great second half of the year. And defensively, she is so much better than she was earlier in the year. She's not afraid to shoot the ball, and she is a very good player off the bench. She's as important to our team as anyone.

I think you have to have an inside-out attack. But early on, we were maybe not getting the ball inside.

I thought that Katie Butler in the first half did a heck of a job in the post.

I thought Michigan Tech played great. They were fired up and ready to go. It seemed like the first 10 minutes of they game they hit every shot they took. I was hoping they would cool off. Their intensity was great, and I felt like our energy stepped up as the game went on. It's the NCAA tournament, and people are going to come ready to play.

We could not make an outside shot, and they were daring us to shoot from the outside. You make a zone look really good if you can't buy an outside shot, and there was not a lot inside because they dared us to shoot from the peri- meter. We had some open shots, but they would not fall.

We ask Healy to do so much, and I thought she just did really a good job. She's never satisfied, and I'm always on her. She had a great game. She's one of those kids, for us, that is really coming into her own at a time when we really need her.

We've been living and dying with our defense and trying to get some shots. Our defense has got to be there for us, and it was really good today.
