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.
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.
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.
fast
We usually get a lot things going with our fast break. We weren't able to do that tonight.
amount base fan front good gotten larger playing since
I think since I've been here, our fan base has gotten larger and larger. I think we're used to playing in front of pretty big crowds. It's not like the men's crowds. I think we have a good amount of fans, and I think we're comfortable playing in those situations, those environments.
early frustrated guess playing woke
I think I was frustrated early on because we weren't playing very well. I guess we woke up. We got things together, got things rolling.
ball looks team
I think at times that my team looks to me to put the ball in the basket.
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.
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.
