chance deserve prove
It's disappointing, but we have a chance now to prove we do deserve it.
guaranteed lose national next power round win
Nothing is guaranteed in basketball. You never know in sports. We could lose in the first round next year, so we can't take this for granted. We have to do everything in our power to win this national championship now.
absolutely basically built decisions dream four last leaving tougher work
It was one of the tougher decisions I've ever made. Just leaving absolutely everything we'd built for the last four years for a dream that's basically a dream, you never know if it's going to work out.
happy
It's been discussed, but it's the past. We're pretty happy with the way we're seeded right now.
believe girls halftime heard screaming walk
We heard them screaming at halftime like they'd already won. I told the girls, 'If you walk out on this court, you better believe we're winning. Otherwise, don't walk out on the court.
ahead definitely expected quick
We definitely expected to be here. For us it's not, you know, a quick thing and it's not ahead of schedule. It's right on time.
national team tough
That's what makes our team so dangerous. That's why we're national champions, because we're tough at every position.
mean number seed
You would think that little number (No. 2 seed in the region) would mean something, wouldn't you?
fun reason win
There was no other reason to come back, just basketball. I wanted to win and have fun at the same time.
best team
This is the best team that I've ever been on.
boxing came hustling stop
It came down to our defense. We didn't stop them. It wasn't them; it was everything we weren't doing -- hustling back, boxing out, the things that we can control.
believed bursting came chance choice country duke gave harvard maryland national nobody obvious reasons team winning won
It came down to Maryland, Harvard and Duke. Harvard for obvious reasons (it was her parents' first choice), Duke was a team that had not won a national title, but was already there (close to winning one). Maryland gave me a chance to do what nobody else in the country believed we could do. I like doing that, bursting people's expectations.
excuse excuses hoping
I was kind of hoping she would get back in there because I didn't want any excuses later.
beat both duke good seen
At this point, we've both seen it all and done it all. We are both battle-tested. In the past, Duke was better. We know we can beat them and we're just as good this year.
