We don't worry about seeding. We have to be prepared to play whoever, wherever. We're focused on our goal of winning the national championship. |
We just were standing around and it was easy to guard us. |
We showed a lot of heart and a lot of guts just to keep fighting through the difficult times that we had when Sylvia was out and our offense was struggling. Just to be within 3 going into half says a lot about us and our character. |
We weren't energized, we didn't have any energy. Our offense wasn't clicking the way it should have been, and our defense wasn't the best. It was just the time that we needed to pick it up, especially in the second half. |
When you see her come and do a reverse dunk from one side to the other and actually like hang off the rim, it's amazing. |
When you step into an arena like the Civic Center, with so much history that they've made in there, yes you do come in as the underdog because they've done what they've had to do over the years to prove themselves as possibly the greatest program in the country. We're trying to establish ourselves as a powerhouse school as well. It's going to be a tough challenge to see where we are as a team. |
Yesterday's practice felt like I've been here for two years. The team chemistry is great. ... I'm a shy person, but I feel right at home. |
You could see the difference when we actually set screens, made the right cuts, doing the things we need to do. Tonight, that didn't happen. We were standing around and we didn't make them guard us. But they did a great defensive job, sticking to their script, forcing us into difficult shots and turnovers. |
You want to go out on a high note. It's a great opportunity to play the best ever. |
