Sisters, if you got a good man, honor him.
We weren't playing very well. We weren't running our plays well and we weren't playing good defense.
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.
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.
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.
We had one subject who was identified by residents and reportedly was bragging to residents that he would have some good stuff to pass out.
We were expecting them to come back. They're a really good team, so I wasn't surprised.
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.
All my books explore fatherhood. I look at what it means to have a big father figure at the centre: sometimes they're a good father, sometimes bad.
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.
I come from a blue-collar town - and being from that place, you learn not to let anybody take advantage of you. You don't let people mistreat you. You stand up for what's right.
Do you know I keep a picture of Hattie McDaniel in my closet in an 8-by-10 frame?
I say to those people who are desperately trying to get healthy, in those moments where you feel like you can't go any further, you can.
I respect everyone, from the homeless brother and sister on the street to the executive that sits in the highest office named President Barack Obama. I respect everyone - but we over-respect no one.
