I think if you win, you have fun either way. Competitors want to win. It's what you take pride in. If we were still playing that style, we might be 16-0. We don't know. I think this team's personality is more of a high-strung, perfectionist personality.

Somebody needs to check her birth certificate, but she is a very mature young lady. It's not just basketball. She had a 4.0 grade point average in her first semester. Most freshmen don't do that. She's very even keel. She doesn't get too high or too low.

You want to know the value on Kristen, 22 wins. Point guards win. It's sort of like a pitcher. You can't put a value on her. There are so many things she does well. She takes pressure off everybody.

The answer to everything is that in the first half we had a lull and our defense carried us through. In the second half, they started making some shots. We weren't playing that bad a defense but they were making shots.

Sometimes I worry about what we should run, and if I don't say anything, Kristen will call the right play.

She was more happy about that than I think anything else.

When they went on that run, everybody tried too hard. Everybody tried a little harder to make that defensive steal or make that shot, even if they weren't in the best position. We tried to tell them to calm down and play their game, but once we got in the hole it was difficult. They almost tried too hard. And we got away from what makes us good, staying fundamental on offense and defense.

Our last two wins [over McDaniel and Hopkins] were good for us psychologically. Even when we were 10-1, there was a little bit of looking over our shoulder. Beating McDaniel shows we're as good as anybody in the league. The truth is, we're not as good offensively [as in years past], so we can't trade baskets as often.

She's my security blanket. When she's out there I just feel like we are going to be OK. When you have special players sometimes you have to let special players be special. The team is so relaxed when she's out there.
