[The game] gave us an opportunity to show our heart. We knew they wouldn't go away, and we showed that we stay close as a team when the game gets tough. |
Coach told us to expect a physical game, but we weren't expecting it to be as physical as it was. |
I don't know -- maybe. What did you think? |
I hope it doesn't creep into anything. We just have to remain focused now that we're the only team in the nation that's undefeated. We have the biggest target on our back that we've ever had. So I just think we have to stay focused because anybody can be beaten on any given night. |
I just try to let the game come to me and get my teammates involved. If there's a good shot there, I'm going to take it. If not, then I'm going to pass it back out. I just try and go with the flow. |
I think that was really good. If we would have played a team that we would have beaten by 30, that wouldn't have been good for us. We might have gone into the next game and relaxed. |
I think there was a lot of one-on-one defense. There wasn't much opportunity for people to help. |
I think we were hitting on all cylinders -- passing the ball, shooting it well and playing team defense. As you can see, the pressure made them turn the ball over a lot in the first half. |
It couldn't come any slower in my opinion, but I'm glad it's here. |
It was exciting, being the first team in UNC history to be No. 1. But Sunday's game was over. We knew N.C. State was going to come in and give us their best shot. |
Ivory is a character. I don't think she really cares what she does. She just tries to be unique. She's the (Terrell Owens) of women's basketball. When she makes a hustle play or a steal, she might give you a dance or a wink to let you know that she's fired up. You just never know what she's going to do. |
Maryland, from the (opening) tip of the ball, they wanted it really bad. And it showed out there today and they came out with a W. |
Maybe. We're looking forward to playing them one more time in the ACC championship, and we know they're going to give it their all. You can't get too confident [even] though we've beat them a couple times in a row. |
She brings a lot of versatility. Down on the block she has her post moves but she can also step out and take people to the free throw line with her 15-foot jumper. We haven't drawn up the game plan yet. First, though, we're going to try to limit her touches. We don't want her to get the ball. |
She's a spark plug and provides energy. So, I tried to provide energy when she went down. |
