Coach Cook said this was his team’s best match of the season, and that they needed it to beat Wisconsin. He said it felt like a heavy weight boxing match.
Yesterday in practice, Coach Cook talked to Taylor Landfair about going “high and hard” off the block. He said he wanted to instill that in her. Landfair has some great accomplishments in her college career, but this is her first final four. She helped her team advance today by doing exactly what Coach Cook talked to her about in practice. She took big swings in big moments and went high and hard off a big block.
