I was very confident she could hit the shot. I think more people are going to start honoring her jump shot, and that's when she will show the ability to drive past them. She's pretty deadly.
It affected me a lot and I tried not to think about it. I tried to do what I could to help the team and not let it affect me.
Yeah, I knew they were rattled. They were yelling at each other. That's how we play, and that's how we're going to keep playing.
I give the credit to my teammates. They were finding me and I was just knocking down shots.
I felt like I needed to go ahead and take over, do what I could to help my team. I saw some open holes and took what they gave me.
I don't care who I'm guarding. We just need to go out there and play basketball.
Going into the Sweet 16, I think we're going to do pretty good. I think we're a good road team. I don't think we've lost on the road this season, knock on wood on that.
We're the No. 1 team in the nation, and tonight we showed it.
There's no reason for us to hold our heads down. We had a fantastic season. Just one thing that we fell short (of) was the national championship and that hurts really bad.
Off the court, we're cool. We're still cool on the court, but it's all about competing.
Coach told me to get the ball and back it out. They were just standing there. It was a dagger. I'm just glad I made it.

Coach told me to back the ball out. They didn't come out, so I just shot the ball. It was a dagger.
Coach told me to back it out and nobody came out to play defense on me. I thought they'd come out to play me, but they didn't so I took the shot. It was a dagger and I hit it.
