As kids, we did look at Tennessee and they were the dominant team. But now, North Carolina has come up.
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.
The loss hurts. The loss is worse than the knee -- I'll get my knee fixed. I feel like I let my teammates down tonight.
The more pressure we put on the guards, that gives Candace more touches, and then she will probably end up getting tired, which she did a lot.
We're the No. 1 team in the nation, and tonight we showed it.
We're about to go hard at it again. There's no need for us to hold our heads. We had a fantastic season. It's just we're sorry that it ended like this.
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.
We know what they're going to come out and try to do. I don't think we have to concern ourselves with anything they do. We have to go out and play Carolina basketball.
