Candice Wiggins Quotes (18 Quotes)

At the beginning of the year, having me at the '1' was better for our team, and now our team is better with me at the '2'. It takes awhile to get adjusted to college basketball and we all knew that if Ros could get secure, I wouldn't be (at point guard) all year.

We had the game and we felt we had control. I guess with every loss some good comes out of it but we can't walk away feeling good about the way we played.

We are a young team. We start two freshmen and Brooke (Smith) and I are only in our second year of playing really. We're used to playing behind seniors. We do over think things at time and make mistakes that people with more experience wouldn't make.

This one hurts a lot worse. This was right down to the wire -- one possession. As far as we've come, this is really emotional.

I got a little dizzy before the game but by then it was too late. I think the competitive nature and the adrenaline outweighed any sickness or fatigue.

We make that same play all the time. I was just a second too late and the pass was there. People have been doubling on that all season. It is what it is. I feel like I let the team down, but you're going to get bad calls.

I feel like I can't be a one-trick pony. If my shot is not falling, I'm going to try to get to the rim, or get to the line, or do something to make a play on defense. That balance is what I'm always searching for. I don't see my game as perfect.

I think it's really important that we move on from (Saturday). We are even more excited about (tonight) and I think if we do what we are capable of doing, we'll be fine.

The tradition with the tree ... to me, it's funny.

There is no other post player in the country I would want on my team. Now the whole nation will get to see what we see in practice and that's how great she is.

It was a lot different this year not having the automatic bid. We'll bring a whole new attitude and level of energy to the tournament. This is when we should be playing our best.

It's all about spacing and patience. Yesterday, we never really got into the flow. We had only seven assists and that just shows that we were focused on individual play.

There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.

I cannot think of one post player in the country I'd rather have on my team than Brooke. I'm just really happy that the whole nation could see what we see in practice every day and what a great player she is.

It's all about confidence. Shooting is a funny thing. It's all mental. Once I was patient and starting to play within the flow of the game, my shooting improved. Last year, with Kelley and Susan being such great shooters, whenever I shot, I felt rushed. I didn't think of myself as an option to shoot.

It's a huge weekend. It's important to make a statement. We have a whole half to go, but we definitely want to make an impression.

I think its really natural to have nerves, and it took us awhile to shake them off. But we were fine once we did.

I've never experienced back-to-back losses in college. It's difficult to handle a loss in general and this is harder.
