What a tough team and what a tough conference. I think the exciting thing is parity has arrived in women's basketball. |
What a tremendous, hard-fought match. |
What makes this team so special is the fact that they don't take any of it for granted. They understand the big picture. There is no guarantee for us next year. They understand that. |
