Colorado 80, Syracuse 45 Post-game quotes
December 30, 2003 | Women's Basketball
Colorado Head Coach Ceal Barry
GENERAL: “I was very pleased with the way we played. I felt our bench played very well. Our young players are starting to come along a little bit more.”
ON PLAY OF RANDIE WIRT AND TERA BJORKLUND: “If you notice Randie and Tera didn't come out much in the first half. I tell you, and I don't want to start this too early, but we'll miss them next year.

ON CU'S 22 ASSISTS: “I wish I knew if there was a science behind it. Our players play unselfish and that is a function of our offense. There are players out there that will look for their open shot, but our players will pass it off if it isn't there.”

ON BEING ABLE TO PLAY AT JUST FORWARD THIS SEASON: “I'm able to concentrate more. Last year in practice I would have to do a lot of post drill, but now I can solely work on the forward drills and I'm able to take a lot more shots in practice.”
ON EMILY WANER: “She's playing really good right now. She isn't afraid to take any shot and she is feeling a lot more comfortable about putting the ball on the floor right now.”
ON STARTING 10-1 FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT SEASON: “Our confidence is about the same. We know coming into the Big 12 schedule we have to pick it up from here.”
