barbara chip coach continue crucial definitely either great happened momentum needed point seen side wide
I think it was just a crucial play that we needed at a big point in the game. Either they were going to get the momentum back on their side and continue to kind of chip away at us and you could've seen something that happened the other night. It definitely was a big play. Coach called it up and Barbara set a great screen. I was wide open.
lull needed step time
We were experiencing a little lull at the time when they were going on a run. We needed to step up and make something happen.
needed time
There was a time where nothing was really going on and it was kind of stagnant. I think we needed to get something going if we were going to win. So this was the time.
feelings frustrated hardest head needed personally replay represent slip
The most overwhelming feelings I have right now are being frustrated and angry. You replay things in your head that you let slip away and it makes you so mad. The hardest feeling for me personally is feeling that I didn't do what I needed to do to represent the program.
consistent felt good harder looks needed ourselves rely shots work
Shots weren't falling. I felt like we had a lot of good looks and we couldn't get them to go down. It wasn't easy, and we made it harder on ourselves than we needed to. Defensively, we've been pretty consistent all year. It's something we could always rely on. Offensively, we have work to do.
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.
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.
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.
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.
