career final four game good pressure successful team throughout trying win
I think being able to get to the Final Four four times is pretty nice. I feel very good about it. I know our team is going to be successful throughout my career so I don't feel the pressure of trying to win another game or win two more games. I know that we can.

That was the most beautiful ugly win we've ever had. We're just elated to be going back to the Final Four.
best conference country felt final four great last national teams top until win
We've felt like we've had a great conference for the last two years. It may be the best conference in the country from top to bottom. But until you can back it up and get teams to the Final Four and win the national championship, it's all talk.
final headline obviously regional trip winning
Obviously we've been on the road. We read the papers. But when you come back from winning a regional and a trip to the Final Four, and the headline is not actually about your team, it's about another team, it makes it a little tough.

I think we were very anxious to play. I can attribute some of that to the turnovers that we had, which is unacceptable. We understand we can't allow that to happen any more.
becoming efficient minutes people players stay wear
I think we're very comfortable with (the rotation) now and I think our players are becoming much more efficient. (Currie) was just very efficient with her minutes and I think part of it is because she's able to stay fresh. And I think we wear people down that way as well.

I think we've gotten back to playing the way we want to play, and that's hard, aggressive defense.

I think it was good for us mentally. We haven't blown a team out in a while, and I think it was good for our confidence.
blown confidence fleeting game good mentally physically rust team
I think it was good for us mentally. We haven't blown a team out in a while. ... Confidence is sometimes such a fleeting thing. Honestly, this game was probably better for us mentally than physically other than to get the rust off.
bench productive quality team teams
I think it's quality depth. A lot of teams have a lot of players, but our bench is productive, probably as productive as any team in the country.
