ended excited felt minds season team
There is a sense of urgency. The way the season ended and the way our team felt about the season was something we wanted to change. It was on our minds constantly. Everyone is really excited about the season. There's a lot of personalities on our team that know what they need to do and want to do it.
best chance excited felt great opportunity played playing somebody
I'm really excited because I felt D made me a better player. When I played with her, I felt like I was playing at the best of my abilities. To get a chance to play with somebody who makes you better is going to be just a great, great opportunity for me.
behind conference east excited regular riding title winning
A lot is riding on this game, definitely. A conference title is behind it. Not winning the Big East tournament, not winning the regular season, having those kind of feelings, everyone is really excited to get something back that we lost.
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.
determined focused game good happen last played stanford
We want it. In the Stanford game last year, I was horrible, and I think we all played pretty bad. That is something we are determined not to let happen again, and I think we are good enough when we are focused not to let it happen again.
anyone awesome bench freshmen
When you think back to our freshmen year, it was kind of like, if anyone got off the bench and got in, you wanted to see them do as much as they could. It's just awesome to see.
front jump people program
To play like that in front of so many people who have made the program what it is, you just want to go jump in a hole.
among far final
We really have come so far just in this year. That sense is still among all of us that we really should be at the Final Four.
hard jersey realize
We really have come a long way and accomplished a lot. It's going to be hard for me to realize that and I'm not going to be in a Connecticut jersey any more. I don't think that's really set in and I don't want it to either.
national
We really have been through a lot and done a lot of different things and had two national championships. We really have done a lot.
build felt game step took whatever
Overall, it felt like we didn't come and play. We wanted to build off the LSU game and it felt like we took a step back. We were scatterbrained for whatever reason. We'll get it back. We all know what we have to do.
feels stuff
It feels good; it feels fine. This is more preventative stuff than anything.
build continue elite feels good happy opportunity ready season successful taking
It feels really good to have this opportunity right now. But we still have things we want to get done. We're not just happy making it to the Elite Eight. That's not going to be a successful season if we end there. So I think we're taking that as an opportunity and we're ready to continue to build on it.
coach coming hard reason seen talent tonight took
I think she?s really coming into who she can really be and I think that?s a big reason why coach has been so hard on her, he?s seen the talent in her. For her to play like this, she just took it all on her back tonight and got us a win.
