I enjoyed it. I was trying to concentrate, even though I was a little bit tired. They said that's usual for a rookie. By the end of the week, hopefully I'll have everything down. |
I think I'll be alright. I was able to make it through the first one. |
I?m just trying to let the game come to me. In practice, I shoot the ball non-stop. I get into a game and I?m just passing and passing and passing. Tonight, when we were getting ready to go out, Brandie looked at me and said, ?You better shoot the ball.? When I had an open shot, I just took it. |
I?m playing a lot better now. I?m a little more aggressive and I?m playing at a different tempo. Ashley Allen helps me a lot. She keeps me together mentally and gives me a lot of confidence with how she?s always passing me the ball. Even if I miss 20 shots in a row, she has a lot of confidence in me. |
It was really frustrating for the first five minutes of the game. I just felt we couldn't get into a flow. We were getting shots, but we couldn't get into an offensive rhythm. |
It's different playing without Jess. Everybody else has to step up. |
Jess is calling for the ball more and we know if we get her established then it opens things up for everything else. |
Jessica and I were really aggressive. Our teammates were looking for us and throwing it over the top. |
Jessica is such a great player and draws so much attention, I was just wide open underneath and I just laid it up. |
She takes the pressure off. One, she?s so big and so long. It?s just so easy to find her. It?s easy for me now because I?m going one-on-one instead versus what I did against two or three people at Cincinnati. |
Since this was my last year, I really wanted to go out with a bang. This was really big for me. |
Tonight was a better night for me. I just have to practice more and play like I did tonight. |
We just came out, and Jess and I were really aggressive, and our teammates just looked for us. We had a height advantage tonight, so we just tried to throw it over the top. |
We were definitely all over the place on defense. Defense just sparks our offense so many times. I definitely felt that we were really together tonight. |
