program solid
It's kind of the same situation. The only thing that's different is I think we already have a solid program here.
emotional everybody felt great team win
It's great to be the first team to win here. I think it was kind of an emotional thing for everybody who's a part of it from the coaches, the managers, the trainers. Everybody felt something.
opportunity win
It's just another opportunity to win a championship, something that doesn't come easy.
mainly stuff yelling
It wasn't what you'd expect. There wasn't a lot of yelling and stuff like that. It was mainly a lot of talking.

I want to be able to kiss that crystal ball. Hold it and hug it.

They did a good job on the defensive end, but most of it dealt with our offense. We just stood around and basically didn't do anything.

They were up nine. We cut into the lead, but they came back with two 3-pointers back-to-back. You can't let that happen.

That helps motivate us. We witnessed everything that happened firsthand and the way we had to adjust and adapt to the situation. The Katrina victims really helped inspire us.

When you step into an arena like the Civic Center, with so much history that they've made in there, yes you do come in as the underdog because they've done what they've had to do over the years to prove themselves as possibly the greatest program in the country. We're trying to establish ourselves as a powerhouse school as well. It's going to be a tough challenge to see where we are as a team.
difficult fighting guts half heart offense says within
We showed a lot of heart and a lot of guts just to keep fighting through the difficult times that we had when Sylvia was out and our offense was struggling. Just to be within 3 going into half says a lot about us and our character.
bring happened national state ultimate
This would be the ultimate thing, to bring a national championship back to my hometown, back to the state of Louisiana, especially with everything that happened here.
duke easy guard offense run stood
We didn't run our offense effectively. We just stood around too much and made it too easy for Duke to guard us.

When you see her come and do a reverse dunk from one side to the other and actually like hang off the rim, it's amazing.

This is another eye-opener for us, and I expect that our level of play will increase and it will pick up as we get into San Antonio.
