ball contested front hands sure took
We just wanted to keep her in front of us. We wanted to keep the ball out of her hands as much as we could and make sure she took contested shots.
coach coming educated faith leap looked parents programs sister turning
It was a leap of faith, but it was an educated leap. We looked at what Coach B had done turning around programs and who was coming in. My parents and my sister and I did a lot of research.
crystal draws goes guards obviously players post
Crystal obviously is our No. 1 option. Everything goes through her. She spreads the game, especially for the guards and the other post players because she draws so much attention.
ball both came crystal falling feeling shots
Crystal and I have been through this a lot. Both of our shots were falling tonight. We were feeling it. The ball came to us and we did what we always do, which is score.

The tides haven't completely turned, but we're definitely even now. We're not nervous now, and we've proven we can beat them. We know we can beat them, and we know we can play with them.
deadly games national nobody player single stepped stop team won
Every player stepped up so big and in different games and that's what makes our team so dangerous. This team is so deadly at every single position, which is why we won the national championship, because nobody can stop us in any position.
anyone country except expect front mean name number single win
Does anyone expect us to win at this point? No, except for us. We're the underdogs. Just because of a little number in front of our name doesn't mean every single person in the country doesn't think otherwise.

We feel proud. We worked really hard. But it's a new season now. What we did in the past put us in good position to compete for a championship, but now we have to focus on our future.
almost beat country games great knew left point season team time turning
That was kind of the turning point of our season. We knew we could play with anyone. But when we almost beat the No. 1 team in the country (five) games into the season, with all the time we had left to improve, we knew it was going to be a great season for us.
bad feels felt playing regardless shot stay win worse
It feels good, but the win feels better. I haven't been playing well but we've been winning. It would have felt a lot worse if we had been losing. I'm going to keep shooting, regardless of how bad I shot in the past. I'm going to stay confident.
duke obviously
Well, in the past, obviously I just think Duke was better. And right now, I think that it's pretty even.
confidence force full next year
Having us come back full force next year is going to be a confidence booster for us.
clicking coaches meeting
For me, the coaches were the most important thing at that point. Just meeting them, clicking with them, their energy, their youth.
ball situations
I always want the ball in situations like that.
