There's no reason for us to hold our heads down. We had a fantastic season. Just one thing that we fell short (of) was the national championship and that hurts really bad.
I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted to as far as cutting and things like that. I tried not to think about it. It affected me a lot.
I was very confident she could hit the shot. I think more people are going to start honoring her jump shot, and that's when she will show the ability to drive past them. She's pretty deadly.
I don't care who I'm guarding. We just need to go out there and play basketball.
I felt like I needed to go ahead and take over, do what I could to help my team. I saw some open holes and took what they gave me.
We're the No. 1 team in the nation, and tonight we showed it.
We were flexing at each other. Of course, I'm bigger.
I tried to get over the pain and help my team win. I feel like I let my teammates down.
We're about to go hard at it again. There's no need for us to hold our heads. We had a fantastic season. It's just we're sorry that it ended like this.
We know what they're going to come out and try to do. I don't think we have to concern ourselves with anything they do. We have to go out and play Carolina basketball.
Yeah, I knew they were rattled. They were yelling at each other. That's how we play, and that's how we're going to keep playing.
As kids, we did look at Tennessee and they were the dominant team. But now, North Carolina has come up.
The more pressure we put on the guards, that gives Candace more touches, and then she will probably end up getting tired, which she did a lot.
Coach told me to get the ball and back it out. They were just standing there. It was a dagger. I'm just glad I made it.
