They put more pressure on themselves than they needed to and the expectations of wanting to get to a Sweet 16. |
This is just going to help us. Our kids our disappointed. They believed they could come in here and win this game. |
This is the first time this season we executed the game plan perfectly all 40 minutes. |
This season we've gotten everyone's best shot. I'm extremely proud of this team and what it has accomplished. I still think there are bigger things and better things we can go and get. |
This team had the heart of a lion tonight. It's hard for me to describe how special this is for our program. |
This team has a lot of confidence in themselves and we probably feel like we have more veteran leadership and experience. We feel like we're playing our basketball. |
This team is pretty special. |
To be able to continue to keep taking steps with this team, they just keep taking us for a heck of a ride. I think you can see by now what makes this team and this group so special. |
To finish the ACC 12-2 just says a lot about this team. To be able to go through the wars in the best conference in the country is tremendous. ... I think they've proven to a lot of people that they're a team to be reckoned with. |
We are extremely proud of Marissa. This is a well-deserved honor for her. To coach the Rookie of the Year in back-to-back seasons is a tremendous honor and says a lot about our program and where we're headed. These individual accomplishments cannot take place without the success and hard work of her teammates. |
We are going to keep competing and we keep getting that margin down. Duke is so talented and so deep. |
We competed [at Duke on Feb. 13] for 38 minutes but didn't finish the game. We talked about competing, defending and rebounding for 40 minutes today. And that's where the game was won. |
We dominated. Watching film on Boston College, I was worried coming into this game. Boston College is a team that usually doesn't make a lot of mistakes. |
We have never treated them like freshmen. We have given them responsibility since the day they have stepped on campus and they responded tonight. |
We have our hands full with the defending national champions in Baylor. With the young team we have, we'll have to play an entire 40-minute game. |
