Michigan Head Coach Kevin Borseth Quotes
Opening statement: “I’ll open with one word – lucky. But we’ll take it. If we’re lucky to make that shot, obviously to tie it, but it’s part of the game. We had free throws before – we had a chance to seal it. We didn’t, but we were lucky to come of it either way. We exorcized a demon. We haven’t won a road game, I don’t think, in seven years – a Big Ten road game – so that was obviously a huge win for us.
How were they able to come back and get the win?
“I thought Janelle (Cooper) did a good job particularly of keeping her dribble on a couple of them, getting some baskets when we were behind. K.P. (Krista Phillips) had some key rebounds and key baskets for us as well. It was just a game of swings. We went on a run, they went on a run. We went on a run, they went on a run. And we were lucky because we were at a point of just having them put us away because it was very close to that happening, and we came back with a big shot. I don’t know how we did it.”
Was it his plan for Krista (Phillips) to take the three-point shot?
“No, she was supposed to set the screen. That’s all I’m going to tell you. It wasn’t really designed for her to shoot it, but they switched a whole lot of options and she wound up being wide open.”
UW Head Coach Lisa Stone QuotesOn Krista Phillips’s final 40-foot three-pointer: “It did, and it put us into kind of a deflated huddle there before overtime. It was a heartbreaker there for our kids. We made some poor decisions out of stress, couldn’t get this going, and you know, Danielle (Ward) did a really nice job there for us, until she fouled out, but it was just a tough one, a back-to-back overtime game. We had a chance to win the game and we made some poor decisions. Again, credit to Phillips. I would never guess that, we guarded everyone except her, I figured 6-6 from 40 feet was a safe bet. Congratulations to them, it was a tough road win for them.”
