opportunity win
It's just another opportunity to win a championship, something that doesn't come easy.
energy felt level needed offense step tip
Our offense was not as effective. I would not say our energy level was low. But, it was not tip top. I felt I needed to do something to step up my game.
across head slammed
I got slammed across the head pretty hard. I actually blacked out.
basically dealt defensive good job stood
They did a good job on the defensive end, but most of it dealt with our offense. We just stood around and basically didn't do anything.
jump
My eye's on the prize. We want to win. But if we don't, I'm not going to jump off a bridge.
arena everybody qualities responsibility shoulders walks
Everybody who walks into that arena has the responsibility of representing Pete Maravich. It's on our shoulders to not disrespect, (but) to play with the qualities of Pete Maravich.
defense energy
Our defense was tenacious. We had the energy which we didn't have at Connecticut. The defense initiated a lot of our offense.
began lock minutes
The first 10 minutes was not our best, but then we began to lock in.
pick time
It was just time to pick it up.
case chance drawing losing shot stopped whatever
I didn't want to take a chance at drawing a foul, losing the ball, whatever the case may have been, so I stopped and shot the jumper.
smiles teacher
It was her smile. It was the teacher she was, but also the person she was.
appreciate deserving good hard joy people states worked
I feel good about it. I think I've worked hard enough to be deserving of this. It's just a joy being able to go into other states and have people know who you are and appreciate what you're doing for the women's game.
bad feet good running
The play was running perfectly. I had a good screen, but it was a bad shot, I should have had my feet set once I turned.
clicking defense needed offense pick second time
We weren't energized, we didn't have any energy. Our offense wasn't clicking the way it should have been, and our defense wasn't the best. It was just the time that we needed to pick it up, especially in the second half.
