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.
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.
difference games last needed
We really needed that. She could be the difference in the big games from last year.
final finally game last lost playing relaxed start
We've lost the last two years in that game to get to the Final Four. To finally get over that, I think we'll be more relaxed once we start playing again.
running
Usually (these showdowns) are pretty close. We were able to keep running and running.
bad dwell game
I was over it when the game ended. I try not to dwell on things that happen. It was a bad game. It was unacceptable to me, but I just have to keep moving.
against dig glad result
You have to dig down sometimes. I'm just glad we won. Against a better team, the result probably would have been different.
best fought happy hard took
We fought and took their best shot. We weren't really able to get ours, so we're just happy to get this win. We really fought hard for it.
best deliver fought shot took
We fought and fought and fought. I think we took their best shot without ever being able to deliver ours.
beaten close excellent good high looked open played ranked team
We haven't beaten a team that was ranked so high by as many points. Usually, they're pretty close games. I think we just played an excellent all-around game. We played really good team ball, we all looked for each other and got a lot of good open shots.
last time
This won't be our last time in Cameron; we'll be back here with a championship.
ask floor good hurts left tough
Clearly, right now I don't feel very good about how things ended. It's a tough loss. We left it all out on the floor and that's all that you can really ask for. But it really hurts now.
aggressive decisions focused game knew needed prepared
I knew I needed to come out and be prepared for this game. I knew I needed to be more aggressive and make better decisions and try to be under control. I was really focused on doing that.
