Always start on the right side. |
At this point, we've both seen it all and done it all. We are both battle-tested. In the past, Duke was better. We know we can beat them and we're just as good this year. |
Crystal and I have been through this a lot. Both of our shots were falling tonight. We were feeling it. The ball came to us and we did what we always do, which is score. |
Crystal obviously is our No. 1 option. Everything goes through her. She spreads the game, especially for the guards and the other post players because she draws so much attention. |
Does anyone expect us to win at this point? No, except for us. We're the underdogs. Just because of a little number in front of our name doesn't mean every single person in the country doesn't think otherwise. |
Every player stepped up so big and in different games and that's what makes our team so dangerous. This team is so deadly at every single position, which is why we won the national championship, because nobody can stop us in any position. |
For me, the coaches were the most important thing at that point. Just meeting them, clicking with them, their energy, their youth. |
Having us come back full force next year is going to be a confidence booster for us. |
I always want the ball in situations like that. |
I could tell you what each of them ate for breakfast this morning. Both teams know each other very well. |
I don't how the process works. All I know is we get what we get, and you really can't change what happened, so we can't worry about it. We just have to worry about winning. |
I heard a long time ago that it's real bad luck for shooters when you stare at their shoes, so I stared at them long and hard. |
I know I was recruited perfectly fine. I know my teammates were, as well. That's what happens when you're on top. People always want to knock you down. |
I lost feeling in my hand for a few seconds. |
I lost the feeling in my arm and I was trying to move it. I didn't want to leave the game. I mean, it's the biggest game of my life. I knew my team needed me on the court. |
