8 Quotes by Steve Hare

She's really taken on a leadership role this year and that's hard when you're only a sophomore, and a younger sophomore at that. She's a great athlete and a tremendous student. The sky's the limit for her.

Most teams come out and try to play man defense on us. They don't usually stay with it very long, though. They'll go to some kind of zone and put two, maybe three bodies on her when she gets in the paint.

Her footwork is much better this year. She has a great sense around the basket. She's not selfish, either. She knows when to give the ball up or take it to the basket. She can do so many things. She's developing a real nice touch from the perimeter, too.

We've been a in a lot of close games. We just haven't been getting the right bounces. We're only a few points from having at least four or five more wins.
