[The zoo offers the tactile experience of sliding a bow across the strings of a fiddle, plucking a stand-up bass, pounding a drum, strumming a guitar or blowing into a trumpet.] I think of it as a mini museum, ...

I was very proud of her in the second half. You could see her getting ready to go for the basketball, and it would have been an over-the-back call and she backed off. That's a good thing, to see them taking what you tell them and going out and doing it, especially going into the tournament. We're going to need her to stay out of foul trouble.

There's good and bad in it, and I'm obviously going to look at the good. I think it will give our girls some time to relax and some time to go through the things we put in lately and get them refocused. I think it will be good for us. They all played so hard. Connie Allen More Connie Allen Quotes 0
