Coach told me to back it out and nobody came out to play defense on me. I thought they'd come out to play me, but they didn't so I took the shot. It was a dagger and I hit it.
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.
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.
They were just standing there. They weren't going to come get me, so I shot the ball. It was a dagger. I'm glad I hit it.
They were definitely in my top five. In high school, that's all you heard. But I just made the decision to go to Carolina.
Off the court, we're cool. We're still cool on the court, but it's all about competing.

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.
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.
