I think the 3-2 match-up caused a lot of problems - it's tough to go against. That's something we've got to get better at as a team. |
I think tonight they showed they are one of the best classes in the country. |
I think we rebounded and played great defense (during the run). Once we got away from that, they started getting comfortable, started hitting shots. |
I?m glad that my hard work has finally paid off. I worked for four years for this moment. |
I'm definitely quite sure they're going to give us a run for our money. But we just have to come in and focus and just always remember that Temple loss. |
I'm glad that we showed what we didn't show [in an upset loss] against Temple. Temple kept going and going, and we didn't get the stop, and today we definitely got the stop when we needed it and did the little things that caused us to win the game. There are signs of us peaking. I think it'll come at the right time. |
I'm not surprised at all. I know what this team is capable of on any given night and as long as we play free I'm not worried at all. |
It comes down to a lack of focus and discipline. Like coach stresses time and time again, we have the elements. It's just a matter of us collectively putting it together. I mean, it can't come from her, it's just a mindset that we have to have. It comes from us. There's no more that she can give us. |
It comes to a point where your body starts to shut down. The rest we're going to have is definitely going to be good. |
It doesn't matter. It's March Madness. You've got to bring it every time, every 40 minutes. That's all we have. |
It was a good shot. It's my job to recognize when the shot (clock) is down to 10; I have to make something happen. |
It was great for me to come back. It wasn't a tough (decision) at all. My teammates are so great, I enjoy being around them. |
It was just a competitive thing. |
It was rough but we had to continue to believe. Every time I went into the huddle I told those guys just to focus, to believe and take it one possession at a time. |
It's all happened,' Pondexter looked back on her year of trial, 'the way God wanted it to happen.' |
