finishes needed nobody positive remembers special team third
I know that nobody remembers who finishes third and all of that, but it was important that we won. This was a special team and special players. We needed to go out on a positive note, and we did.
great program worthy
They've had a great program for years, and they're going to be a worthy opponent.
good great hard heart night plays stuff
It was a good night to stuff the stat sheets. Danielle had a great night. She just plays so hard and with such heart all the time.
care easy nice pressure taken target wearing
It was nice to get it taken care of early. We've been wearing a target on our back all season, and that's not an easy thing to do. All the pressure was on us, and Cochise had nothing to lose.
game players proud ready seemed since sitting standing stay though time tired
We were ready to play, even though they were able to stay with us for a while. I was really proud of our players for that. We'd been here since Saturday, and we were all getting tired of sitting around. Time seemed to be standing still. But at game time, we were ready.
bothered played seen
I've never seen anything like it. It bothered us for a while, but once we got going we played pretty well.
freshman
After 32 games, a freshman really isn't a freshman any more.
against coming defense good row seeds turned won
Defense turned to offense, but it all started on defense. We were able to do that against a good team. They'd won 17 in a row coming in here and are better than most No. 16 seeds you'll see.
performance result
I've always said the performance is more important than the result sometimes, and the performance wasn't very good.
against cost last people tough until
People put us on such a pedestal, and that makes it tough when everybody's gunning for you. It was like it was us against the world and we didn't get it done. We didn't show up until the last 10 minutes, and it cost us.
extra fair forever games good guess played rest seems
I guess it's fair to everybody, but I think the extra day of rest is a good thing. When we first got here, it seems like it was forever before we played. But now we've played two games in two nights, so an extra day of rest will be good for us.
best country extra perhaps player team
I don't know why any team would say anything to give perhaps the best player in the country some extra motivation.
energy nobody picked stop
They had nobody to stop her. She had energy, and she picked up everybody's misses.
against happened loser tonight
It's a loser against a loser. I haven't even thought about it yet. What happened tonight stings, and it hasn't sunk in yet.
