As good as Cassie and Jen are, they are even better people. They are humble and soft-spoken but they can dominate games. But they truly believe they can't do it alone.

They have been very accepting of me and my family, and it has evolved into a close-knit team and coaching staff. I really think that it has helped us throughout the tournament.
body great players post saw seen
We've seen a lot of great post players this season, but nothing like the tandem we saw tonight. The thing with them is you have to keep a body on each of them and then look for the back-side help.

Uhl has been constant all season. She made a conscious decision during the summer to be a leader on the team. She's been a force down low.

I can really sense the girls' confidence. They feel good about themselves and each other.
believe bus feeling final good ride trip
I could tell on the bus ride down we were pretty loose. I really believe they didn't feel any pressure. For a trip to the Final Four, I had a pretty good feeling we weren't going to be scared.
