difference games last needed
We really needed that. She could be the difference in the big games from last year.
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.
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.
