teams
When you play teams like that, they are more desperate. They're going to play with a sense of urgency.
coming game senior tired whatever
I don't ever really feel like I get tired when I'm on the court. I just want to play and do whatever I can. As a senior you look at every game and you could see kind of an end coming and you want to be in there as much as you can and make the most of it.
definitely excited felt freshman mentally playing ran remember start wall
I don't know what was going on with me, but I definitely feel a lot better and I'm excited to start playing like that again. It's kind like freshman year. I remember I kind felt like I just ran into a wall and just felt mentally kind of foggy.
attention detail focus pay sure
I don't know what it is. I think we have to really focus a lot more and everyone has to pay attention to detail and really kind of buckle down and make sure we do everything.
boston knowing points
Knowing that we were two points from being in Boston (is tough).
awesome barbara either finally hit knew leave momentum screens senior turner
I knew the momentum was either going to go their way or ours. Will Crockett and Barbara Turner set some awesome screens and I finally hit some shots. As a senior in this position, you want to leave everything out there.
knows
I feel like everyone knows what?s on the line. Everyone knows what we have to do to get it done.
goals stay
If I were in Duke's position, I wouldn't think anything of it. The goals are still the same. You have to stay focused. And I think they'll be just as focused.
win
I had to get something going for us to win this.
asked believed carolina game hard nobody north worked
If you asked us after the North Carolina game (loss in December) if we would get to this point, nobody would have believed it. But we all worked so hard to get here.
exactly goal mind somebody straight thinking thinks trying wants whatever
He's somebody who's going to tell you exactly what he thinks and when he thinks it with the goal in mind that he's trying to make you better. It's pretty much all straight forward, whatever he's thinking and whatever is on his mind. I think sometimes that there's probably things that he wants to say to us that he can't, too.
feeling guess open shoot time
I don't really ever feel like I'm not feeling it. Even if you're in one of those slumps, I guess you just shoot your way out of it. Every time I'm open I'm going to shoot.
felt happen knowing needed position steady trying wanting
Being in that position knowing that something needed to happen and wanting to really take over and be that person who made something happen was important. I think that is just something I felt like I needed to do before. I am trying to be that kind of steady person we need to have going into the (NCAA) tournament.
coach good meeting needed point responsibility season
The meeting was significant. We were at a point in the season where we wanted the responsibility and needed to let coach know that, good or bad, we're making it our responsibility.
