It was just waiting to happen. But not to that extent.

Merritt and Ashley really got us going in the second half.

I thought she wasn't playing as hard as she has been against other premier guards.

It's pretty wide open. Everybody had better bring their best game every night. If you don't, there's going to be some upsets.

We went against one of the best teams we've faced all year, and played one of the best games we've played in many years.

I told them they were lucky and fortunate, and they should be grateful Ashley, Amy and Jamey stepped up big in the fourth quarter.
players roof successful top venue
This is too big a venue to be successful without your top players -- especially her. She's a competitor. If she thought she could keep the roof from caving in, she would try.
account defense effort expected interior played
It still doesn't account for the way we played interior defense and the way we played interior offense. I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. We didn't play with much poise. I expected more.

It's a loaded field. There are some great teams.

She showed a lot of character and fortitude playing through those ankle injuries, which allowed us to get to that championship game.

She's our heart and soul. The kids look to her for floor leadership. Even for a young player, she has put this team on her back and hit big shots.
