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.
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.
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.
emotions feels happening mixed pro sure tough
I'm really not sure I've got it all together. Things are happening so fast. I had a pretty tough loss, so I have a lot of emotions and mixed feelings. But I'm a pro now and it feels great.
care everybody far finally focus forward games looking state talking
We try not to look too far ahead. We've had some big games come before in this season. We had to take care of (Boston College) and N.C. State and now the game is finally here and we can focus on that big game everybody has been talking about. We're looking forward to it.
far finally focus forward game looking talking
We try not to look too far ahead. But now the game is finally here and we can focus on the big game everyone has been talking about, that we've been looking forward to.
good playing plays running
We weren't playing very well. We weren't running our plays well and we weren't playing good defense.
basket felt great half lead maintain needed second slowly stops took
We felt great at halftime. We scored the first basket of the second half (but) we didn't really get the stops that we needed to maintain the lead that we had. They just slowly crept up on us and took the lead.
felt game good great played position win
We felt great at halftime. We felt like we were in good position to win the game if we played like we played in the first half.
expecting good
We were expecting them to come back. They're a really good team, so I wasn't surprised.
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.
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.
looking mean spot won
We are looking to get into the No. 1 spot because that would mean we won the game.
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.
