I think she's one of the best players in the country. She never loses energy. She's the head of the snake for their team. |
I was trying to get the ball to Tiffany, but she was doubled down before I even got there. |
It was surprising to me because [shooting free throws] is focus and concentration. And with all the hype going on today, our team showed that we can concentrate and we can focus through almost anything. |
She's one of the best players in the country. You look at her and think she's like 5-foot or 5-2, I can block her shot. But she's got a lot of heart. She can hit the 3 ... and she's so quick and she's got a great handle with the ball. She can drive inside the 3, and she's looking to pass too. |
They're not that big -- they have small posts just like we do. |
This experience was good for us. We went through some hard stretches and some good stretches. We learned a lot. |
This game was a lot about pride. We didn't want it to be one-and-done. |
We are in one of the toughest conferences so it's not like we were expected to win all of them. And there are a lot of teams right in the same area, so it's not that bad. |
We didn't want it to be one-and-done. This whole tournament is to show that anything can happen. This is a whole new season, and we are coming out to show that we've gotten better. |
We need to focus on Tamara and Rene. |
We were kind of stagnant on offense and they were sagging off of me a little bit and it was making it difficult for our offense to run. So, I knew I had to take a couple of shots to get my teammates open and get them started. |
