I don't think we've ever had a game when we've been in foul trouble like that. |
I was wanting to get back in the game, but I didn't say anything. I was trying to be a cheerleader. I knew if things went well I'd be back in the game to shoot free throws. |
It's been my dream ever since I was old enough to walk. |
There were definitely a few doubts. This was probably the most intense game I've ever been in. I just kept thinking if we could ever get a lead in overtime. We kept falling behind. |
They really extended their defense and that caused us a lot of problems. They were more disciplined and they switched through their screens quicker. They gambled a lot more in the first half. They know what they are doing defensively. They wouldn't be 33-0 if they didn't. |
We ended up shooting a lot of threes, especially in the second and third quarter, but I told the team, 'We can't rely on the 3-point shot. I felt like if we just keep pounding and pounding and pounding, we'd be all right. |
We really, really wanted to win this game. Not only to advance but to keep that streak alive. |
