Any loss is tough. There's a lot on the line for us and this is definitely a hard one to swallow, being at home. We just have to find a way to bounce back. We can't lose hope, that's for sure. |
At least we got our tournament jitters out. |
I didn't want it to end like this. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to my friends. |
I just went back in there and played hard. My main deal was keeping (Tiffany) Jackson away from the basket. |
I thought I had the ball, and it got knocked away. I should have caught it. |
It felt good after a long break. It was nice to get everybody into the game. We're excited to be playing on our home court (tonight) for the championship. |
It just shows we take a lot of pride in our defense. That's something we've been working at all year; if our offense isn't there, we've got to find some other way to win a game, and right now it's with our defense. |
It wasn't working on the inside, so I figured I better shoot on the outside. It was just my time to step up. |
It's huge being a part of this program and you want to extend it as long as you can, whether it's another five minutes or another five games. I want to play until the end of March. |
It's huge. For me, it's playing in my home state. But, right now, we have to find a way to bounce back. |
My teammates have surrounded me with such a good presence that they've really given me the opportunity to do what I did in these last two games and all season. I learned a lot about myself and my team during this tournament. |
That was too close for comfort. |
This is definitely a hard one to swallow, being at home. We've got to find a way to bounce back; we can't lose hope. We can't get knocked down and stay down. |
Those first four minutes for us is big. When you dig that big of a hole, you work your whole way to get back, and you're gassed by that time. |
To be honest with you, I was praying a little bit. I've got all the confidence in the world in Heather; she's been put in a lot of tough situations this year. |
