running
Usually (these showdowns) are pretty close. We were able to keep running and running.
expecting good
We were expecting them to come back. They're a really good team, so I wasn't surprised.
ball gets given helps move pulls shoot wants willing
When she pulls me over and it's like, 'I was open, you could have given me the ball,' then I know she really wants it. I think she's a lot more confident, which helps her be more willing to make a move or shoot the ball when she gets it.
against basketball check crowd forward good hearing nicer people stunned winning
It's good for women's basketball to have that many people come check out a game. We're excited, especially winning when the crowd is against you. It's even nicer that way. We look forward to hearing stunned silence.
national tools win work
It's just really disappointing. We were just so close. I think we had all the tools in place to win the national championship. Sometimes things don't work out the way you want it to.
fast
We usually get a lot things going with our fast break. We weren't able to do that tonight.
felt full peaked reach time
We felt like we haven't peaked all year, and there is no better time to reach our full potential.
looking mean spot won
We are looking to get into the No. 1 spot because that would mean we won the game.
last time
This won't be our last time in Cameron; we'll be back here with a championship.
ball looks team
I think at times that my team looks to me to put the ball in the basket.
decision final following four knew knowing sweeter team venue
Just being in that venue and being at the Final Four knowing my team could be there the following year, I wanted to be part of that. I knew I had made the right decision even if we hadn't made it to this point. It's all the sweeter that we actually are here.
game last lose mission
I think we're kind of on a mission now. We don't want to lose another game from here on out, so we're going after every game like it's our last game. It should show when we play.
ball care smart week worked
We just have to be smart and make smart decisions. We just need to take care of the ball and execute. We've worked all week on what to counter.
closer finally huge minds step took tried
We took a huge step making it to Boston. We've tried to keep that in the back our minds all season. It's finally here. We can get closer to what we want to do.
