She has her mind in the right place right now. She just understands what she needs to do to help our team. She understands that she's going to have to defend the best post player. She's going to have to grit and get rebounds and just throw her body all over the place. I don't know too many people in her position that would be willing to do that.
More Quotes from Barbara Turner:
This is going to let us know if we're mature enough to come out and play really well on the road and be together. It prepares you for the tournament. Very rarely do you get to play on your home floor. I know we've been fortunate a few times, but it's rare. It's a totally different atmosphere. You don't have the normal support that you usually have. You have to depend on each other to win.Barbara Turner
When she came in the locker room, that was the first time I've ever seen her show a lot of emotion. She was very, very emotional. She was just more responsive than she's been before. And she understood that a lot of the responsibility was on her. So you could tell that it hurt her and it really, really bothered her that we didn't win that game.

This was very close. I'm sure the fans kind of felt like it was Connecticut basketball all over again. And there's no better feeling in the world to be able to get one game like that.

It's very hard, because you feel like you don't want to mess up the rhythm of the team. When you worry about that, you tend to not do all the things you're capable of doing. She hasn't been doing that in practice. I told her, don't worry about anything but what you're good at, and that's scoring.

Obviously, we feel better going into the postseason. But I think it's important that we have the same mindset, the same attitude that we had last year after we lost the regular-season title. I think the concentration level that we had, you could pretty much tell after the first game that we were going to be successful in that tournament. It had that feeling to it. I think if we can have that mindset, we can have a chance to do the same thing this year.

That's what I knew when I was being recruited. Just her impact on women's basketball ... it's something you will always have to appreciate, even though you weren't a part of it.
