Lyndsey Medders Quotes (26 Quotes)

Their scoreboard, if you look up at the one on the side, it's not your typical college scoreboard it's just two numbers. I went to bed (Friday) night, and all I could think of seeing we're down 30 and it's not a fun score to look at it.

He's given me that freedom since I was a freshman to make those calls. We have a lot of trust in each other. It's neat we're on the same page like that.

It might be as tough as there is. Not only do you have to bounce back from a two-game losing streak at home in front of almost 11,000 fans, but now you have to go on the road.

There were times we tried to make a run. But we didn't have the kind of enthusiasm and effort we needed.

I don't want to be known as a good player who played on good teams. I want to be known as a good player who was part of great teams that played in the postseason.

This year, in the game's we've won, our attention to detail defensively has been the best. In both (Big 12) losses, we didn't do a very good job of that.

We just didn't have it tonight. There were times when we started to make a run, and it seems like we didn't bounce back with the kind of enthusiasm or even effort that we need to show in our own building.

Why we were so successful this year was the balance of the five starters and people who also contributed off the bench.

The injury setbacks have been tough. It's probably the most frustrating thing I've ever gone through.

When I went to this point-guard camp the big thing they stressed was getting the ball to your teammates where it's easiest from them to score.

Everything was in a half-court set.

I've accepted the notion that I'm not going to be 100 percent the rest of the year, and it's frustrating at times. Coach didn't want me to play the rest of the year, but I feel I owe it to my teammates and fans to give everything I can off this foot.
